Got the same lift from David at northridge and I am very happy. You will be surprised as a 2,5 seems like a 4' lift in the old days. I'm running 35s easy...

I purchased the OME lift from Northridge, got about 3" of total lift and I am running 35's. Very happy with the kit. Softer then sex on the road. My JK is my DD.



Pluke.

I did the 2.5" coil lift with a 1" spacer up front and a bumper with a winch. I got 4" up front and 3" in the rear. Clears my 34x12.5 with no issues

I noticed you said you had to regear with the 33's was that just personal preference or did you have problems??

I debated this same thing.. I went with the 2.5 and am plenty happy. I actually went slightly smaller than 35's too as its my DD.. look at my sig below. Basically I have 34.6" x 11.5" vs the 34.8" x 12.5" that "35s" would have been. For me having the smaller width helps with snow and resistance, so I'm happy. personally if I didn't do the 2.5" I would just to at least a 4" if not more, as the 3" is getting you very little. But as someone said above you then have to seriously think about a complete package include -arms and drive shafts. Not in my budget. 35s with stock gears works, but new gears will be in the future year or two, especially here in Colorado as the mountains kill me.

I have the Teraflex 2.5 coil kit on mine and love it. I went with the 33's due to the fact that I like the look of the wheel well better, plus my JK is a daily driver with a lot of expressway driving also. I dont do a lot of offroad so it was the best thing for me.....and I dont regret the 33's either!!! I think the look is great!!

I've been running the TF 2.5" spring lift for almost a year now with 35" MT/Rs. It still handles the road really well and off-road ride and flex is awesome. I would recommend an adjustable front track bar, I'm runnin the JKS, and some longer brake lines. Dave will hook you up with everything you need.
