I'm pretty sure I'm pulling the trigger on a lift within the next week or so, but I want your opinions as to which lift I should choose.

JBA is out because of price, but I'm stuck between tommudd's econo lift, or a OME/Bilstein lift.

Here is the econo lift:

As for OME I will probably be going with 927 fronts and 730 rears with Bilsteins all around. I'm thinking 5100s in the rear. I want to get about 3-3.5" so I would do a clevis and spacer plate as well. Oh and the A-arms as well.

What do you guys think?

It looks like either one of your choices would work well. It seems the few people that have been using the Ironman parts like the ride and the price. And with the OME/Bilstein combo, well- that has been a proven lift and durability will outlast the Jeep in most cases. I love the feel of my OME, but then again haven't really been able to test out other types. I guess I would try the Mudd lift since it all comes with the price and all you gotta do then is get that bad boy in the Jeep! When's the lift party?! :BANANA:
Good luck with your choice Jimmy and look forward to having another libby with a lift in the NE pack!
:JEEPIN:

I'm really leaning towards the OME/Bilstein combo. It's tried and proven, but I'm getting a little "just in case" money saved up and making my parts list to make sure I'll have everything. Who knows maybe by then someone is bound to put a few thousand miles of the econo lift and let us know how it holds up. Even if it's a KJ, it'll still be essentially the same. The lift party is eventually lol, might just throw it up on an uncle's lift and put it in with my dad. It could be a father son thing :CAMPING: :5SHOTS: :5SHOTS:

BUT we could always have a party as a meet and greet and look at the lift lol
