Are there any updates as to how much lift people are actually getting?


I called ARB today, and they said expect 2-2.5 inches of lift after a 500mile break in period.




Also, I'm told there's an OME trackbar bracket available. Anybody know about that, as a temporary solution prior to buying new trackbars down the road???

Looks great! Are those 35's or 37's? Did you regear? Wheels and tires are next on my list, the 32's look really small after the lift.

The tires are 35's. Gears are next on my list, and I have the money set aside for them but I am waiting to see how the Alloy gears are when they come out, if they come out.... Your rig will look great with new wheels n tires!

So I'm thinking of getting this Kit is every one ordering the trackbars with it or is it just something people are doing for some other reason?

Thanks, Id imagine the lift would look the same on a rubi........... my jeep set about the same height as a rubi because it was setting by one on the lot.

BTW the reason I didnt get the rubi was because it was an auto lol...... I was set on a stick..... plus it was red and I wanted black

great looking Jeep! I have heard many people say over the years that OME rides better than stock but some people like firm sporty rides. I like a soft squishy ride. I have run skyjacker over the years because they are usually much softer than stock. Is the OME kit softer than stock? is it softer than skyjacker? anyone know what the softest kit is? I have bad back and all the softness I can get is good.
