Edit: lol ^^ fanatic beat me to it

Oh and Fanatic - the OME lifts are said to actually lift to 3+ inches. Its the same one I am looking at for phase II. This is over the 2.5 inches recommended max lift for not replacing drive shafts due to new angles. Just something to think about and maybe look into...

And but the way, LOVE that new tan color. Great looking Jeep.
I have the OME HD setup and ended up with 2.5" of lift when first installed (measured from center of hubs). After a few hundred miles the lift settled to 2" all the way around and I am not running a spacer in the front. Great setup for an expedition rig (which is what I wanted).

Love the tan color as well ! Jeep looks great! Congrats!

Did you do the lift yourself? Just curious. I've got an OME lift on its way and was curious as to the installation time.

Mine didnt come with them either, I just figured Id want them. The install is pretty straight forward, just replacing springs. It took us a couple hrs to lift and mount and balance 5 tires.

I got the LT lift kit with JKS Front and Rear Trackbars, long travel shocks, adjustable swaybar links, bump stop extensions, extended brake lines and adjustable front lower control arms.

I just bought springs and spacers. I will install shock extensions soon. The alignment was still good, just had to set the toe. I may do adjustable track bars but it drives fine and if the axles are off center its not much.

I started to get that one, then got to thinking I wanted to go to 35's when my 33's wear out. Decided to go ahead and get the LT kit and just do the lift once (I hope).

Actually we were aboutto do the lift ourselves,but my buddy came across a shop that only dealt with jeeps,
So the price he was charging us was too good to refuse.
He installed the coils shocks,steering damper,front and rear adjustable trac bars for
.......320.00 Cdn.
