I don't have the cash for lift yet, I want one, but the tires add too much to the price tag right now. I had leaned toward OME from the first, but there is no denying that TF WILL address your concerns, and here, every single time, so for my money, that's the way I'm going to go. People are happy with every TF product here (99%), and you can't beat the fact that they're on this forum. I've never seen an OME guy here, customer service goes a looong way.

My OME kit was on the back porch when I got home today !!!! I was also worried about being over 3 to 3.5 but Dave at Northridge said it would come in right at about 2.5 in rear and 3 in front

X2 I have the Teraflex kit and I love it. Definately more complete, however, I have heard that the OME setup is a great ride. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

I'm also interested in final height.

I want to upgrade from the TF Pucks to 2.5 - 3.5" coils but the jeep MUST still fit in the garage (7 Foot). Right now with the BB I have about 2" of clearance with the 35's, so I should be good but would like confirmation.

I know that the OME kit is regarded as one of the best riding for TJ's and fully expect it to be the same for the JK, but TF does seem to make good kits and I've been very happy with the BB.

I ordered my TF lift a couple wks ago. The online retailer I got it from found out they where on back order when i ordered it. They called that day and said it would be back ordered until April. Shipped today!! I look forward to the install.

Both are nice set ups. I went with the OME HD front coils, nitro shocks and JKS front and rear adj trackbars and Crown ext brake lines. David at Northridge put the kit together for me early last summer. Love the ride on and off road, would do it again in a heart beat.

Tera Flex with shock extenders!

I had mine before I actually got my Jeep. Now 26K later, and still love it! Zero problems.

next purchase will be 35's, or 37's with flat fenders. 2.5 is plenty of lift!
