I started out with a 2 inch spacer lift and hated it. Then upgraded to the Old Man Emu lift and absolutely love it. Save yourself the hassle and just go with the Old Man Emu right from the start. I wish I could go back about 4 years, I would have built my Jeep the right way the first time!

My thought exactly.Originally Posted by Matt
Thats the same thing I did man. RC lift is a great start. With the money you saved you can get a lot of skids.
Once I wear down these tires I'll be replacing with Duratracs.
What was it you hated about the spacer lift?
A few things. I didnt like the ride quality of the spacer lift or how the Jeep had body roll around corners. For some reason I was constantly replacing front struts that would go bad after less than 6 months of being installed. Didnt get as much lift out of the spacer lift compared to the Old Man Emu lift. The rear end squated with any kind of weight which was fixed with the OME HD springs. It also stopped the body roll around corners since the coils have a higher spring rate. Most members who are currently running the OME lift had a spacer lift prior.

I agree with everything that he said. I had a spacer lift first and now I have the OME lift (at least in the front). I plan to finish the rear soon.
