This is the set-up I'm looking to run. Wondering how it looks and rides compared to my TF performance leveling kit.

Any issues with the drive shafts with that high of a lift? Or any other issues I might need to know about? Thanks for the pics.

JK Show & Tell. Stickied at the top are the ShowOff Threads.

Depending on which 2" ome coils you choose and your specific setup, it could be anywhere from 2-4.5" of actual lift. So... look at the 33" tire section for pics of any lifts in that range. (the mfg of the lift is meaningless, only the height matters for what you want).

Just running flat fenders and a wheel with a backspacing of 4.5" or less and you won't need a lift for 33" tires.

The ride of the ome was nice with the hd coils but even better when I went to a no load rear coil.

You will need some longer sway bar links, brakelines, and may want front and rear trackbars and some front lower control arms with the ome. Go to northridge 4x4 and they have a kit that you can customize with everything you need.
Nice to get some first hand experience, thanks! Which tom woods shafts did you go with? Ive seen to different model numbers, 1310 and 1350 I think.
