After installation it is necessary to re center the steering wheel before driving. The check engine light has now gone away, (assuming the trouble code was random) and the traction control indicators have also returned to working as normal ....... Thanks for all your comments.
The OME lift final numbers are: (measured from the 4-door Rubicon stock rock slider)
Front before- 16 3/4" ...... after 20 1/8" = 3 3/8" (did not install the 1/2 poly spacer included w/kit, may have to after the winch and bumper, but I wanted to see what it measured without.
Rear before- 18 1/4" ...... after 21 3/4" = 3 1/2" (maybe it will settle??? sure hope so)
Now to put on bumper and winch (AEV and 9.5ti) . Will update this thread when completed.

after the bumper and winch installation
Got the AEV bumper and warn winch installed today. That AEV bumper is a quality unit, but way too many pieces and modifications. (A few important steps left out of the instructions also) Although it really looks nice after installed. The OME lift was an easier install!
Have given the lift time to settle. (about a week) The new measurements are (from the rock rail) front => 19 5/8", rear => 21 1/4". Rake is still the same => 1 5/8".
So the total difference between stock and lift plus bumper and winch were 2 7/8" front and 3" rear.
I guess I will get a spacer for the front. Anybody know if there a 1" spacer available? Or should I get another spring for the front?

That looks great. Did you put a spacer in the front? Northridge4x4 has 1" spacers if you are still looking.

Looks great though!!!

Looks awesome! Those are the exact tires and lift I've been pondering for the last while so I'm curious to hear how the ride and mileage changed? I'm a little concerned about the ride height being so much more than the 2"s but hopefully it will settle somewhat. Did you go HD springs front and back?
