No its not bad, I think all of us are looking for more lift!!! I know I said I wouldnt go SL but with a buddy of mine wanting my set up it may be a reality. Then Ill want 6" of lift ahahahah
haha yeah well im thinking about the SL just to make it look alot better and to laugh at my gf trying to climb up in it LOL!!!!
The AEV module is almost $300
All those lifts are on sale, apparently the guy on JF.com got a great deal which is why he got it..
Wish I had the extra money. That would be a great addition to the Hemi Overland Commander I'm looking at tomorrow!
good luck tomorrow man.
GL with the Overland Hemi. I love mine.
Ok got the run down from the guy on JF.com, he paid $1500 for the SL, but not the master kit. So my question is what kind of lift is he going to achieve and is it even worth doing over OME since so much from master lift is not included....?
Even though he didn't get the master kit, he will still get the same amount of lift as every other SL kit on the market. That won't change. 4wd.com needs to update there website and list the exact parts included in both kits. I noticed that there is a difference in what's listed between the two kits, but what they have listed doesn't make sense. The master kit lists strut spacers and the other kit doesn't. That's definitely a mess up on their part because you can't install the lift without them!
The one kit says it retains factory strut assembly, I know there has been talk about it, what if you ran OME with that, too much?
The SL kit has been for sale here for the same price for a long time.. I was thinking of getting it before I ordered my ome hd setup..In case anyone misses the sale

Plus these people actually answer phones, I also had them add the OME suspension kit for the commander but it turns out I got it a bit cheaper elsewhere. Nonetheless its a good price for the SL kit and good service from my experience.
They all use the factory strut.
You cant use the OME as is.... it'll be way too much. I plan on running a modified OME & superlift kit for ~5.5" lift
So essentially it would be like stacking OME and spacer lift? I wonder if they could piece one together, like lift kit without any coils or struts/shocks..
Theres no savings there. The SL uses the stock front spring/strut.... you still need the strut whether you use your stock strut or the OME; and in either case you still need the SL strut spacer. The OME does not mitigate the need for the SL spacer
Got ya, so you can use OME struts but you need to use different springs or modify OME springs
Yes it would be like double stacking lifts essentially. Why would you not want the coils? You need the rear coils to achieve the lift in the rear. And the kit doesn't come with front struts. You have to use OEM struts or an aftermarket stut like the OME. You are supposed to use the entire oem strut assembly with coil and their 4 inch strut spacer bolts on top. You would have to modify your OME coil for it to work like Matt said or go back to your stock front coils
Yup. But remember the OME struts are the same dimensions as stock struts so you still need the SL spacer to achieve the "base" lift.... then tweak the springs for additional height.
And the springs are a whole new discussion lol:

Right I remember reading all of this.. So I really wouldnt be able to sell my OME which makes this undesirable at the moment.. If I were able to sell OME itd be worth it, but if Im going to do it I would want to get the MOST amount of lift utilizing modified OME and not stock stuff..
That's what i did modified sl with OME!

I run the SL top spacer and a heavier than OME HD front coil. Didnt use the SL in strut spacer though. Need the RCV's though, at full droop the CV angles are getting to the edge. And limit straps to stop the knuckle banging on the strut.
Can still only tyre to the available gearing though, and 35's are stretching the drive-ability.
