Default Aev/bds/ome

I currently have a 4" ROUGH Country lift and it is beating me to death. It's what was on the jeep when I bought it. I am looking at the following:

A. AEV 4.5" Dual Sport SC - great reviews, drop brackets for brake lines, new track bar, steering stabilizer included

B. BDS 4.5"/5.5" Long Arm - best warranty, new brake lines, no track bar, no steering stabilizer.

C. Old Man Emu 4" - Best ride according to anyone who owns one, drop brackets for brake lines, new track bar, steering stabilizer included


Price in a non issue. I intend to run 37-38" tires. I am aware of the upgrades i will need to make to the stock d30 and possible drive shaft replacement, so please don't clutter up the thread with all of these type of suggestions.

Which lift should i run? If you run one of these lifts will you please comment and post pics of your rig? Thanks in advance!

Sometimes. I have a truck and the jeep is more of a toy. I would still like a better ride than the RC.

I considered that, but i don't need the Remote Reservoir Shocks that come with it. I suppose i could downgrade the shocks?

If you plan to lift that high why not go with a long arm kit? Terra Flex & Rock Krawler are two great choices.
