Default OME kit

I just went to my local arb store to grab a bull bar they have a OME kit in stock its $1500AUD fitted just coils and shocks. Only 50mm (2inch) / 60mm (2.5inch) I cant remember which was front or back. Im very tempted, I was going to get a TF BB but by the time I get it delivered and fitted itd probaly be around $900AUD

What are the benefits of going OME? Do you guys reckon I should go OME?

I can't recall hearing much of any complaints about these OME lifts, when I had my TJ and WJ. For what they are (only being 2") they are designed to improve the stock on road AND off road ride/fucntionality.

By the way what does $1500 AUD translate to in USA, and how much was just the kit not being installed?

I used an online currency converter and $1,500 (AUD) converts to $1,356.44 (USD). Holy shit!! I was definitely going to go the OME route but . . . damn!!

I too am curious on how much of that price included labor.

If 2" is the tallest you can go or are willing to go, OME has been known to make the best riding ones around. At least, that was the case for the TJ.

I was hoping this kit would be in the $500-700 range.

Please define "very soon." I've been waiting on purchasing a lift specifically because of all the great things I've heard about OME... I'm definitely eyeing this kit for a purchase.

David,

Will the kits be all one spring/shock rate? Or will we be able to select a setup that is tuned for specific vehicle setups? IE heavy bumpers and winch combo, etc...
