Default OME or Terra flex 2.5

Well, been doing a lot of reading and some phone calls and I'm down to these 2 lifts. When I add all the extras in the OME lift from Dave, and then add a few extras in the TF like control arms, front track bar, they are within a few hundred dollars of each other. So I was wondering if the OME ride is really worth the few $$ more. So which one gives the better ride on a 2dr and which one gives more lift? From what Ive read, its seems to be the same. So those of you that have rode in a 2dr with both set ups, what do you think?,

I would do the OME package from David. Just my opinion.

I'm not sure about the TF kit, but the OME kit does not sit 2.5" high. More like 3.5".

Both are quality products. You can never go wrong with TF customer service.

From all I read they both sit at about 3.5 in the front and both can handle the exta weight of a bumper and winch unlike the stock springs

i have the 2.5 TF coil lift, but added some coil spacers on top, then OME LT shocks. personally i've had no issues with my TF lift and its worked fine, but I can say that i love the ride and articulation of the OME shocks, so if they are any indication of the lift quality thats a good thing!

I hope Daves ready for a nother phone call on monday (LOL) Dose OME have diffnt spring rates for 2dr and 4dr?. I think TF flex uses the same springs for both the 2dr and 4dr.

I have OME LT lift and it seems to be a really well thought out package the way Dave sells it. I have no complaints.

Default I have a 2dr rubicon went with the OME kit

Got 3.25 inchs of lift, went with the HD springs and LT shocks. The ride is better than stock, Still have the stock rubicon rims and tires. BTW bought the whole kit, brake lines, sway bar links, spring retainers, front/rear track, and lower control arms. did a post a while back here..

I just installed the HD OME ST kit from NR4X4 and love it. Netted 3.5 rear, 3.25 front (and thats with the MBRP front bumper). Ride is 100X better than stock. Better over the road bumps, no nose diving when stopping. Other than the obvious coils and shocks improvements, I have not seen anyone comment on the isolators for the front shocks which i think help quite a bit. The OME isolators are much firmer than original. I'd say like Shore 95A versus 85A for the oem.
