For the OME HD's, 3-4" is correct, depending on vehicle weight. (I got 3.25" on my 4door with bumper and winch. 2doors with no added weight are reporting 4" with the HD's)

I think a better comparison would be the OME to the TF 2.5 Spring lift.

Guess you need to decide how much lift you want and how much you want to spend. You'll need more extras if you go with the taller TF 3".

I guess for sure you need control arms on the Tera kit because of the added lift. The ome lift you could go without I'm thinking

Default repeat...

Like said previously the OME HD will get you 3-4 inches on an unlimited. If you need more the TF 3 is the way to go. I have the OME HD with JKS adj. Track bars and like the ride. Any more of a lift and i would need control arms and drive shafts. i don't think either will disapoint.

id go tera, the lift is much more complete... if you go OME, you will still need to order more stuff, i.e. brake line brackets, extended bumpstops, trackbars or brackets.

trust me, the TF 3" lift will give you about 4" of lift. i am currently running the OME LT setup that northridge4x4 sells and with the HD coils and have a bit over 3" of lift on my orange 4-door. side by side, you will find that the TF kit sits taller.

Some people said you will NEED alot of extras with the TF 3"....Im running it on my four door with the stock control arms and stock driveshafts and have yet to have any problems at all. I have a 6 speed though for the front shaft. When I bought David at Northridge said i should have no problems.

It drives decent/close to stock without the control arms. I bet it would be a much smoother drive with them but I dont feel like they are a necessity. My point being you should be confident to upgrade as you can.

I love the kit and great customer servie. Have heard great things from OME as well
