OME 2" lift and ARB Bull Bar
I have a new 2 door Rubi JK and love the thing big time.
Today I have put on her first mods an ARB Bush Bar (+- 38 KGs) and a full OME kit.
I did not want to go for a big ass lift , because I would like to get the best on road handling I can so I went with the OME 615 ( light 40 KGs) springs with N196 shock absorbers for the front, and OME617 (medium) springs with N198 shocks at the rear.
Looks like it could be too big a lift with the stock 32" boots but will see how they are after 500KM.
I do not plan on fitting a winch and don't over load the Jeep.
What do you think, would this be a good set up?
I do not have the cash to fit track bars or brake lines for now, could I fit them latter and still run the 2" lift?
Any comments or feedback would greatly be appreciated.

Great setup.
I've got a little over 4,000 miles on the OME HD springs and nirto shocks with no issues. Steeri9ng wheel is still clocked about a 1/2" to the left but my ESP light never comes and it doesn't really bother me.
Bumper was easy to install and fits perfectly. I've got a 10,000lb winch coming. I expect the front will sag about 1/2". It drops less than an inch when I stand on it and I'm close to 200lbs.

Ok ,so now I have the OME light lift with the ARB Bush bar and it's brilliant off-road but it does look a little too high and makes the stock 32" look small .
The ride is a bit harsh on road , do you think it will come down some in time ?
