Do we have any regulars here with an OME lift? I don't recall anyone, I'd love to see some pics to compare the two. I know there are a handful of WK's that have OME but I'm XK bias
And I can't search for OME.. it's too short.

Looks wise they're not going to be drastically different... if at all.
If you can afford the OME, that's the way to go. As you add on skids, racks, etc, those heavier springs are worth their weight in gold.
But if you can't justify the money up front, you can't beat $150 for a spacer kit to get ya started!
I already have a 2.25 RRO BB, but I'm thinking shocks and struts are worn out.. so I'm still trying to justify the extra cost of just going with OME stuff. I've got pretty much full armor at this point so it makes sense from a weight standpoint, but it's still a pretty hefty price premium over stock replacement parts.
same as hoaxci5 I am feeling the weight of the armor & thinking of switching out the RC budget lift I have for the full HD OEM lift.

I have the Old Man Emu suspension lift on my XK. I installed it in late February and I absolutely love it. However, if I were to do it all over again I think I would have went with the MED duty coils. The HD coils make a very stiff ride. Other then that, no complaints. Previously I had a 2 icnh BDS spacer lift with Bilstein HD struts and 5150 rear shocks. The Bilsteins were absolutely garbage and blew out several months after install. As far as looks, the only difference is the OME lift will make the XK sit a hair tall. At least thats what I experienced when I swapped the kits out.

Do you happen to have OME and BDS pics?
Are you figuring maybe 1/2" difference between the two?
You have skids and belly guard, but not front guard or rock sliders? (just trying to figure weight difference since I have both of those and was looking hard at HD)
