Default other lifts to come?

i was wondering if anyone knew if other lifts were to come? like something from OME or RE. nothing long arm, something short arm or around 2". the reason i ask is that with the rock rail issue i have seen im thinking im gonna run a 305/70 on a set of stock rims, which i think would look good to accomplish that short squatty look i have always wanted in a jeep. plus the jk is already kinda wide and squatty as far as the tub goes. any ideas?

I've talked to ARB/OME and was told they might have a lift out by Off Road Impact which is in January. Although, why not just install a 2" spacer lift like what Full Traction or Teraflex makes?

well see here is the thing bro, i like the spacer lifts but if they come out with a coil lift ill buy that instead. which of the spacer lifts gives less lift? im just looking to run 33s with not a huge amount of space between the tire and the wheel well. i want that short/sqautty look.

I believe the TeraFlex spacer lift will give you 2.5" of lift and the Full Traction just 2".

Ya know, you can practically fit 33's without any lift at all. You may experience a little rubbing at a full turn and on the trail but that's about it. Certainly nothing a little trimming can't fix

I don't know if the spacers are the same between the front and back or not, but skyjacker has 3/4" front spacers here. If they are the same (which I hope someone can answer) then you could get almost an inch of lift for about $60.
