Default OME 2" suspention lift

Hey guys, new to all this. Just reaching out for a little help with the OME 2" lift. It only comes with shocks and springs. So I was curious if I needed to go further, such as control arms or anything else I should adjust or extend. I don't want to put any undue stress on the jeep from the lift. Also curious if I should go with the HD or light duty. I do plan on bumpers and a winch possibly. Thanks guys.

Northridge4x4 has a nice OME kit, comes with lift & adjustable JKS trackbars. Another good part to add is some JKS disconnects. Since you plan on bumpers and winch, defiantly get the HD springs.

I have the OME hd lift and really like it. I installed front lower control arms and adjustable track bars with it, felt they were necessary items.

Sweet , that's almost exactly what my jeep looks like haha, I have the khaki top. What did the control arms and track bars run if you don't mind me asking?

I ran the OME 2" HD Coils and Shocks. They worked very well with some sway bar disconnects and a 32" tire. Once I steeped it up to 35s I had a good amount of rubbing which cause me to extend the bump stops and then upgrade the shocks. Adjustable trackbars are a good idea and one of the first additions to the lift I got.

Thanks guys, I think Im gonna be staying with these 33s I have. At least for a while. So I think the OME HD will be perfect for me. Ill only be able to run the shocks and springs that is comes with for a while. I have a TF leveling kit and it came with longer front control arms so I think thatll help a little. Yall think Ill be good running that with out any other hardwear? At least for a bit.

I went with Teraflex lower control arms and monster front track bar. I used a JKS rear track bar.

Overall same OME here. The HD springs gain you a bit more than 2". Even after I swapped bumpers it still sits well.
Trackbars as everyone suggested are a good idea, I mean if youre in there doing the lift, you may as well get it all done. The only thing I added beyond that was the OME stabilizer with the relocation bracket.
