Default TF vs OME

from what ive read, the terflex 2.5" spring lift and OME lift with HD coils should yield about the same lift...am i correct?

OME HD's should put you in the 3-3.5" range. (3.25" on my 4door with bumper/winch) A few 2-doors with no added weight are reporting 4".

From what I've read, the TF 2.5 coil kit should get you up into that same range. (they list 3" front 2" rear on their site)

are you using spacers up front with the OME to eliminate the rake? or did the lift eliminate it?

I was talked into HD's up front and MD's in back. That compensated for the bumper/winch up front and set me level front to back. The MD's ended up sagging about 1/4", so HD's all around would have been better for me.

I ended up adding a 3/4" spacer up front and a 1" spacer in back, and am sitting level again.

I have the OME HD's in front and MD's in the rear with a AEV bumper and Warn 8000. It sits pretty level, much better than stock.

x2. BTW, I gained 3 5/8 from the OME HD lift on my 4-door Rubi. That's with a Warn 8000 winch as well.
