OME Lift? Lot of problems???
You lifted your jeep more than the manufacture planned.. and since these lift ktis dont include anything but springs and shocks you need to get some adj. track bars to make everything right. You can align your jeep for days but without centering your axels its going to have esp issues... trust me.. once those axels are centered its a whole different animal
Adjustable in the front yes. BDS bracket in the rear. I was careful to offset front to match rear fixed adjustment. In other words I comensated front to what the rear adjusted.

I had ESP problems with the OME and YES the steering was centered, but I can tell you since I put on my Upper Control Arms the ESP activates only when it's supposed to and doesn't interfere with daily driving anymore...
edit: I do have adj Track bars front and rear...

The ome kit is an aussie kit and it is acutally designed to give something like 60 mm or some other metric number that correlates to about 2.25 inches, which is about what I got with the MD springs. Alot of folks are putting in the HD springs which give alot more lift as they are really designed for those carrying alot of weight. If you use the springs in such a manner as to give you more than the specified lift I think you need to throw on some track bars. It helped alot with my esp issues. I have now netted 3 inches of lift or so with these springs and since installing my trackbar front and rear I have had no problems. I looked and I might have a little bow in the springs but it doesn't have any effect on the overall prefromance.
Overall I am very happy

i was seriously thinking about going with this lift as well but i do alot of trail riding and the biggest tire you casn get without any rub with this kit is a 33 right? id like to clear 35's so i guess ill have to go a little higher,.

I've got the trackbars and upper control arms and the only time I have any early ESP activation is before the tires get warmed up.
Typically it is a pretty dang fast downhill turn within a block of starting the Jeep up and you can feel it just barely activating at the outside wheel, nothing dramatic and it doesn't hurt the cornering at all.
If I raise the pressure 2lbs to 28/28.5 all around it doesn't happen, but then when the Toyos warm up then they are just slightly over-inflated to my liking, at least on the front.
Now this is with the 92 to 101 temps we've been having down here in Georgia and I'm sure pressure adjustment will be needed when it cools down.
On thing I haven't seen posted is how nice this suspension with the Toyos is in the rain. Whether blasting down I-20 at 80MPH, or 55-65MPH on secondary winding roads, or cutting through heavy traffic in town, it inspires confidence.

Nice man... gald you were able to get things worked out.
I also had issues until i got both front and rear track bars... now I am like you... Once in a blue moon it will activate but thats it! Happy wheeling Bro
