I gained a total of 4" lift with the rest of the jeep stock. 33's should be no problemo.
4" Are you sure? We installed one of these the other day on a stock X and we measure from the pinch seem and it got 3.25" dont measure from the flares as they move all around.

Default installed on a 2dr.

2dr HD springs, LT shocks, 3.25 of lift. Suggest you get bump stops, rear spring retainers, track bars, sway links, brake lines, and control arms.

Good kit I'm happy.

I just installed the OME HD kit LT shocks from Northridge4x4. I installed this lift using WOL write up and it was a big help. I got roughly 3 1/4" of lift. This kit is great I spend many months deciding on what lift to go with and I am very satisfied . The ride is firmer but in a good way. I used WOL write up on doing your own alignment and it turned out great.
Call Dave at Northridge he will set you up.

Thumbs up

I love the ride and lift it gave my JK.. I could run 35's later with this lift, with "cut out" flares and all the lower accessories as well.

If you want to clear 33's and wheel it too, then get the 616/618 OME coils, LT shocks, JKS discos, JKS adj track bars, ext brake lines, bump stops, ext rear sway bar links.

I would add a small coil spacer up front, with a winch and bumper set up though.

Great lift. I have the HD coils front and rear w/ the LT shocks and all the other goodies David at NR puts in the LT kit. End result was 3.25" of lift. As for the ride I really didn't think it firmed up all that much over the stock Rubi suspension, I prefer the OME ride.

NO regrets!!

yeah med springs should be ok, and stabilizer for sure!
you may want a bit of a body lift as well, helps the overall lift and feel of the ride imo...

im gonna do that next myself, but i need to get new tires and wheels first. the stockers have got to go!

Even with the medium springs, double check your brake lines when flexed. At the very least, run down to the hardware store and pick up the pieces for extension brackets, call it a $5 insurance policy. (several threads going with pics on how people are doing this)

If you aren't going with disco's, grab a set of new longer rear links and swap those stock rear links up front. You want the swaybar angle to stay close to 0. (the new rear links were $15 when I got mine)

And, while you have the front end apart, you might slap in a set of ext bumpstops up there. Only $30-ish, and since they go 'inside' the front springs, you won't have to pull the front end apart a second time to get them in...
