OME HD OR Medium Springs?
2 Door Jk, full skids, front and rear bumpers, and a winch.
That being said, what springs do I want?
FRONT - HD & REAR Medium
Both FRONT and REAR Heavy
Both FRONT and Rear Medium
I am still debating on tire size, 285 or 35's. Leaning towards the 285's.
Everything I read about the OME is that people are getting 3-3.5 inchs of lift out of these kits. I think that's too much for 285's honestly. I would like more of a 2 or 2.5 inch lift. So I was thinking of the medium springs and hope they settle a bit with the weight.
Input, opinions, pictures, anything!
I am so confused

If you are hoping for 2" of lift, go with the light load springs. Being that you already have F/R Bumpers and a winch, I would go with the HD springs. They might give you a little more lift than you want, but they would handle the weight better.

HD front
You have 3 choices for the rear
0 lbs constant load (Light)
300 lbs constant load (heavy)
600 lbs constant load (heavy)
I have the 300lbs but I have not purchased my rear bumper/carrier yet so I sit a little higher in the rear. You are not that far from me if you want to come up and look/ride for yourself. I will be home till Monday morning but then I'm gone for three weeks. You have my cell, give me me a call. Here's some pictures before I added the 1" spacer up front. Stock 32 BFGs

Dave at Northridge recommended HD front and rear for my setup and I've yet to add rear bumper, see sig for mods. I went with 295/70/16's. I'll be putting the lift on tomorrow afternoon. Got the 295's on today with no rubbing issues, but wouldnt be able to will them without a lift. I'll post my results tomorrow with pics.
