I have the HD and love it. I'm running steel bumper and carrier in the rear and up front steel bumper with winch. It's a great setup!

Any insight on which coils would be good for towing? I would think the HD set up would be best but would love some other feedback...

would be towing upto and possibly slightly over the 3500lb limiit published by Jeep.

Guess it would depend on the tongue weight? I have no problems towing my boat on 10+ hour freeway trips (with fuel and gear, it's pushing the 3500lb limit) with the medium rear coils. I have also towed a fully loaded Uhaul 6x12 enclosed trailer on the same trip with no issue. The boat is an easier tow just due to the aerodynamics of it as compared to the boxy enclosed trailer.

Towing is more about setup/gearing than whether you chose the medium or the heavy OME coil...

I have the OME HD on my 2 door and love it! I did not think it road rough with the plastic stock bumpers at all. It, gave me about 3" of lift and a spacer up front to level. You will also want, adj. track bars to center axle and brake line drop down brackets, and last lfca's to adj. caster. My only gripe is, I should have got the long travel shocks.

Love my OME HD lift. The ride is great and no sagging with front and rear bumpers and 35" spare. Talk to Northridge 4x4 and they will be able to recommend which coils will work best for your setup.
