Default OK pretty much decided on OME and 35s, anybody have pics?

I talked to David at Northridge and it looks like I am gonna go 618s in the rear and 619s in the front on my four door Rubicon

Any you guys regret going to 35s instead of 33s?

Anybody running 35s on the 616, 617 springs? do they do OK?

Anybody do the trackbar swap out?


any other words of wisdom on the install?

Would love to see pics of OME lift and 35s


I appreciate all the info guys

Here's mine with 34's (295/75/16's)


I haven't installed the f/r adj track bars yet. I love the look and ride.

This was installed a week ago and was planning on wheeling this past weekend, but local ORV park was closed for special event


As far as tips for the install, pictures are worth a 1,000 words. This writeup was very helpful. http://project-jk.com/jeep-jk-write-...ation-write-up

I'm running 35's on the OME kit, which I installed myself. Check out my gallery for the pics. I went with the HD kid and wound up with a lot more tha n2" of lift. As a result, I've been having some tracking issues at highway speeds. I just got adjustable front and rear track bars and would reccomend you do the same.

I've got the 616/617 with 33"s setup.
Would be really tight for 35s unless you never took it off a paved road.
I'm really impressed with the ride quality of the OME springs.

I have the OME kit, with 35's and have plenty of room for them. No problems at all, even at full flex. (This is all connected, disco'd might be a diffrent story.)

I have been watching the driveshafts for signs of damage/wear and have noticed nothing yet (500mi)

Overall the kit is great, I did not get the adjus front and rear track bars YET, I do plan on getting them. Without them I have a very slight left right wander, that is really not even noticeable to anyone else. I am just very anal about my stuff. The ride is GREAT, rides better than stock. My dad has an '07 JK so I did some seat swapping and the OME rides softer than stock.

Sorry for the crappy cell pics, I need to start carrying my real camera.

Here is my Jeep vs. identical stocker



First day of lift



If you have any questions just let me know.

My OME kit, HD front and Med rear springs, with bumpers and winch, on 35's. I also bough it from David at Northridge! For install tips look at WOL's writeup on the OME kit, it doesn't get much more thorough than that!
