I am envisioning bigger tires in your future, whether your budget can handle it or not.

That looks great!

And the ride quality????

 

That looks fantastic! Can't wait for mine to come in! What size wheels and tires are those?

 

Hey Ski....how's the Rubi with the 4:10s and 35s??

 

OK I will try to answer most previous questions at one time. Thanks to everyone for the input and comments

I purchased the OME 2" lift. It came with four springs four shocks and leveling spacers which I used and am glad I did. Per David from Northridge, Kit only comes with the HD springs

Installation took just under 2 hrs

I did not measure before and after so I am not sure exactly what the life gave. Did not have my camera so I did not get any install pics either. Figure there is enough of them on here already I did measure months before and am looking for the numbers.

Install went smooth and instructions were not actually needed.


Drove it around last night and today and gotta tell I'm lovin it.

Ride is actually better(smoother) than stock. Drives straight down the road and there is no affects going round corners as far as roll. Took off road for a very short period but did not have any rub at all.

I installed the lift to clear the 33's under any conditions and here the 33"s now look to small. Staying with them for 40,000 miles then we'll see.

I do believe I got more than 2" and it looks good.


Shifting of both axels did occur. Not to bad and you could live with it. However, I ordered an adjustable front track bar and the BDS relocation bracket for the rear. It does not track bad at all.(Guess I am just to picky. Should have them in and installed Wed.)

All in all I am more than satisfied and cannot wait to get it out into the woods to see what she will really do.

Everywhere I go people are stopping to ask questions. There are no 1/2 door jeeps in the area and only two other 4 door versions both bone stock.
And there are no other lifted JK's around that i've seen. So hell I have the most unique jeep in the immed. area and lovin it.

Almost hated to come home tonight.

 

That is all sounds great! Thanks for the review and pictures. 1 more question though, can someone explain what "shifting of both axels" means exactly? I've only done suspension on a sports car and don't recall having to worry about the axels at all. Thanks alot

 

That is sweet ski! looks real rugged,i love it!

 

Thank you. I love this setup as well.
Seal20. I am happy with the 4.10's and 35's. I do not drive much highway at all so for city driving it fine. I do have one good size hill I have to go over from time to time and it does hunt for gears. ( I have an Auto) But it is not nearly as bad as I expected. I do plan on regearing sometime though. If I could only change the shift points, I think I'd be okay without a regear.

 

i think it looks great. enjoy

 

Are the half door factory, if not were did you get them.

 

The are held in position (left to right) by the track bar. When the suspension is pushed down the track bar will pull the axles to the left. So when a JK is lifted, and the track bar is not changed (via an adjustable track bar, or track bar relocation bracket) the axles "shift" to the driver's side of the Jeep. As I recall, a 2" lift will shift the axle about half an inch. Not a great description, but does this answer your question?
