315/75r16 with 2" OME heavy lift
#12
I installed the lift myself at home simple tools and took it to get aligned no issues either. You get the panhard Rod extension but I did not install it did not need it. There is a write up on here about this lift good instruction that is what I used as a guide to install.

I run the OME HD coils front with the light duty coils in the back with RK correction wedges, the light duty coils were too light for the weight i have in the front and the springs were sagging a bit, aprox 150lbs, so i decided to change the LD for HD in the front only, the backs are fine with what i have, aprox 160lbs between spare and rear bumper.
Running 2" bumpstops front and rear with flat fenders and 315/70/17 KO2 tires that measure about 33.5" mounted in 17x9 wheels with -12 offset (4.5"BS)
I run 34 psi in my tires, so the coils are not harsh at all, though i can feel the difference between the HD and LD pressure rate in the front, if i didn't have the weight, i know those front HD springs will make the ride very stiff.

I don't think anybody have asked, but to ease up the concern you had regardless your front driveshaft, did you go with the standard ome shocks ? If so, you won't have any issues with your front DS. Your front shocks would have to be longer than 25" for the DS to contact the exhaust and damage the rubber boot (this applies to JKU's, I don't know if it works the same if you had a JK).

Im going with the hd springs and shocks. Im hoping it wont screw anything up. I have a jku with hard top. Maybe that will weigh it down enough. Thanks for the replies.
