Default Old Man Emu = level ride?

I'm steering towards the OME HD springs for my '07 2 door. My question is, should I use some front coil spacers, or do these springs match up pretty level as far as front to rear ride height?

I will be putting the same lift on my 11' 2 door soon and was wondering the same thing. Also, will front upper or lower adj. control arms be needed with a stock 2 door jk, with the OME HD lift?

needed, no. recommended, yes.

things that are needed: extending your brake lines and wheel spacers if you keep the OEM wheels.

Its worth it to go through Dave at Northridge and get the whole OME LT HD kit. As far as sitting level. Mine sits just a little ass high. I am ordering the 1/2 inch rear teraflex cone type spacers and a 1" front spacer to help compensate a little. I am doing this because I don't like top rear spring retainers that come with the kit. Several people that have this kit have done the same thing.

I'm running the R-C 2.5" spacer lift, with just shock extensions on the stock shocks, and a set of 4 door Rubi springs. It netted me about 3.25" of lift, but the ride is too bumpy, and the stock shocks offer little control over the new, heavier steel wheel & 35" tire combo. Thanks for the input!
