I switched out from the Rocky Road kit to OME - I did lose a little of the height, but it's worth it. I am very pleased with the OME stuff. I have HD front and rear springs, along with the shocks/struts.

OME sucks!!! avoid them like the plague if you can. seriously.
i've seen a lot jeeps with OME stuff and everyone hates it and wishes they had gone a different route. the shocks blow out and the springs sag.
i highly recommend the Pro-Comp 9000 shocks that are adjustable for the rear to help dampen the suspension depending on load and road conditions. unfortunately i don't have a recommendation for a front strut, but having just acquired a nissan pathfinder, i'll know in another month or so when i lift that up.

Although I've never had a problem with their shocks...I HATE the pro comp lifts. Very poor quality fit. Pain in the arse to align. But I've only installed a few.
Good discussion though.

i'm a distribuotor for transamerican which is the mother ship company to pro-comp. fabtech is their schtick. i asked my rep if they had fixed the issues with the chevy full size trucks. he was very straight forward and said "no, they still eat up ball joints every few thousand miles".
i sell a lot of their es3000 shocks. they are cheap and generic. there is no vehicle specific valving, it's a straight 50/50, but for rock crawling they work pretty well and at $35 each you can't beat it.
i have installed a bunch of the 9000 series and have not had a disappointed customer yet.
