Default OME and Rustys

Looking to replace my TF spacers with full springs. I would like to end up with around 3.5" front and 2.5" rear of lift after settling. I plan on replacement bumpers in the near future too. I've heard good things about the Rustys 3.25" coils, and OME, but I can't make up my mind between the two. What do you guys think?

I have the Rusty's 3.25" and have been very pleased.....They don't get as much press on here but their stuff is as well made and strong as any other and in some cases more. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.....

NukeMan, by the looks of your signature, you decided on the OME setup. What was the deciding factor..

I decided to go with the OME lift primarily due to the overall ride of the kit. I had an OME kit on a TJ years ago and loved it. Just so happened that I came into some money at the time I was shopping for a lift and decided on the OME with FT trackbars and Currie CA's. The ride, handling, and stance is awesome. The only drawback to my setup is the downtravel of the OME shocks vs. other brands. t's not a huge deal, especially with lockers, but the OME shocks are only just a hair over 2" longer than stock and it can cause you to hang a tire occassionally. I just remind myself that the OME kit wasn't intended for hardcore rockcrawling or extreme flex, like say a Currie kit, and for what it was designed for, it performs beautifully.
