Default kore lift kit

i am looking at the ome ltr kit but was wondering if anyone has or knows anything about the kore lift. i have heard that kore makes good stuff and have ridden in a dodge ram with lift and was very nice on road as well. money has some to do with my choice but i want the best on road ride i can with good flex and off road capabilities. and yes i have ben looking at tf too, and aev lol.

Well, you get some really nice shocks with the Kore lift kit. The rest is pretty much incomplete.

If Kore was paying the same amount of attention to the Jeep market as they were to the Dodge Ram market, it would likely be an excellent premium product. Unfortunately, that isn't the case and you'll need to drop another $500 or more to get a solution that would put it on par with what's needed. No front disconnects, no adjustable control arms, no rear track bar and so on.

They definitely make great stuff, but their JK offering is still a work in progress.

I don't have a clue about the Kore springs, but if the Fox shocks aren't part of what you want you should be looking elsewhere. Also, people seem to be extremely happy with the OME shocks and springs, and to do over again I would ala carte my suspension with them in the mix.

they have progressive rate springs. Prog. springs suck on the rocks. that is all I know about kore. If I was you, I would go OME or Tera. But that is me. Not you.

I think you'll be real happy with the Northridge OME long travel kit. It's seemingly a great value, and the right guys put all the pieces together.

That is a nice kit. You will be very happy with it!!! I have the OME LT shocks. They are very nice. That kit is very ez to install. You should really consider installing yourself and using all the money you are saving to regear your Jeep for the 35s IMO. The auto and 4.10s struggle to spin 35s.
