I am about to pull the trigger on the OME kit. Just wanted some feedback on a couple items:

1) How is the off-road performance?

2) What are people coming away with as far as ACTUAL lift height?

I have a 2dr Rubicon with a Highrock front bumper and Warn 9.5ti in front and just a Hardtop rear. May be adding a rear bumper soon. I am keeping the stock 32" BFGs

I don't want much if any more than 2-2.5" lift to avoid potential drive shaft issues and too much height for my 32s to look balanced.

Any and all comments/opinions are welcome. Thanks

 

With your setup I would go with the HD kit especially if you plan on putting a rear bumper on it.

That's what i wish i would have done. Love my RE spacer lift, but want to go with a spring lift eventually.

 

I am hearing that the HD rear springs are giving 3+ inches though if that's the case I think I might just get the mid/light duty springs and hold off on the bumper 'til someone smacks into me here in SoCal.

Thanks Dave. I'll be ordering from you, hopefully soon.

 

sounds good we have them in stock .

Is anyone here able to comment on the OME kits off road performance?

A few months ago a lot of people here couldn't wait for this kit to become available....

 

You definately want to go with the HD springs. Mine had a 3+" net all the way to the trail. After flexing it pretty hard all day long they settled quite a bit. So much so that I had to re-allign the steering wheel. I would say that you will net somewhere in the 2.5" range with your setup at most.

 

Thank you. That's the info I've been looking for!

Anyone else?

 

Is anyone running 35's with this kit after they settle?...I am on the fence regarding 33s vs 35s



Are there any other factors to consider when contemplation these 2?

speed / need to re-gear?

mpg - yes I know I drive a jeep and should forget about that


Ultimately I am interested to know if going with 35s is worth any trdeoffs like speed and such?

any pic of 35s and OME?
Thanks all!

 

Go 35s and never look back...you wont regret it.

6speed = you can live with 4.10 gears
auto = definately regear

mpg = it WILL get worse
