Before making a decision I would call Dave at northridge 4x4 and pick his brain. I like the OME springs. I'v seen them perform great both on and off road. good luck

Default coils with Bilsteins 5100

Just as a point of reference: this will be going on my '09 JKU daily driver (roughly 10-20% off-road) so it won't be for heavy off-roading by any means. I have Toyo Open Country AT II's in 285/75/17 so nothing too big.

My question is: has anyone purchased 2.5" coils (any brand) and added the 5100's... and were you happy with them? I'm willing to pay more for quality, so I don't mind going with another coil set over the RC if that's a better option. Anyone have any experience with this type of build? Thanks for any insight!
I have the 2.5 RC Lift, and have purchased a few items to improve the ride quality.

5100 Bilstein 5100s on the way with Bilstein dual steering stabs.
Rock Krawler springs
Adjustable LCA's

When I get everything installed, I will let you know how she rides.
