Oh I see, lol. Yeah, I see a lot of people moving in the direction of the 'customized OME' lift.. And I can see there justification for it. They are trying to compensate for the sag of the bumpers, skids, winches, and settling of the suspension in the first place, and you are essentially attempting to restore that original height that you had + an inch, which really puts you at about 4.5" of lift all the way around. Conceptually, it makes perfect sense... But I'm going to wait to see how these components hold up and let the 'guinea pigs' try this set up out before I say "no, thats a disaster waiting to happen."Originally Posted by Matt_
I hear ya. My post about the benefits of the suspension lift were in response to IamJEEP's post.
I personally like the OME kits as well... and will probably be running that by next summer if SL doesn't come out with their "improved" kit soon. My point was just that people may get 'close' to the same ride height increase as the superlift, but there's a bit more to it than that. And it just seems like a lot of people only focus on the height of the vehicle for riding on the street, not how much clearance there is with the suspension at full drop.
Regardless of what kit anyone runs, if you're running bigger tires and/or offroading on occasion, you're going to wear and break parts. Just the way it is
And yeah, I love my OME lift. If I get a ZJ, I've been looking at a 5.2L 98 Orvis and 5.9L 97 Orvis for under 3500... An OME lift is the first thing I want to slap under it. with some 32x11.5 anway - thats another topic for another day, lol.
