Default OME vs AEV 2.5"

After checking all the possibilities her in Germany and getting good advice in this forum and the wayalife forum it´s clear to go for a 2-2.5" lift kit.
It´s up to then OME lift or the AEV. These are the only (good) ones which I can buy in Germany which are road legal here.

The OME has 2" lift and with trimpackers 2.25" . I can choose the spring rate. And getting the highest spring rate it is the so called HD kit which should actually give 3" lift
Correct ??

AEV has a more complete kit , specially with the CA brackets and the "preferred" Bilstein 5100 shocks. Although I would like tom get King or Fox shocks sooner or probably later.
I also heard the kit lifts a bit higher than 2.5" ?

The AEV kit costs twice the price of the OME here in Germany. And maybe I could buy stuff where I think it´s good with the money I keep with the OME kit. Something like CA´s , trackbar and so on.

But on the paper the AEV is a tiny bit higher.

I´ll probably stay some time then with my 33" tires and if they are worn I´ll go for 35" but defiantly not larger.
I only heard good thing about the AEV kits. Maybe not the price but this is not as important as I´m in Germany.

Lil Nemo has a OME kit, so it must be good. I´m only a bit afraid it is really only 2" and might be to low for the 35" tires in the future.
I have a 1.25" Eibach spring kit and this rubs even with 33" tires and full flex.


So, what to buy? Which is the "better" kit ??
