I called All J today and ordered the 2.5" OME lift kit from them. They were out of parts for Frankies, but Heather was extremely helpful and hooked me up with the OME kit. I'm getting the medium duty rear springs as they were out of the HD springs for the rear, but it's cool. I'm also getting the 1/2" rear spacer so my heep sits like factory :D Heather was really nice and I should have everything by Friday at the latest. Can't wait.

Cool beans! Are you getting new shocks as well? I'm seriously considering moving over to the OME setup later this year. The daystar lift I have on currently is a used unit and while it has been good so far it seems that the springs are starting to sag and the front shocks are probably due to be replaced as well. Figured while I am replacing them I might as well go to the OME and do away with the spacers altogether. At least I have my original front assemblies so I can use them for the OME stuff and just swap them out with the daystar units 8)

Yeah, I got the whole kit. Coils, struts, new OME shocks front and rear, new rear bumpstops and the rear 1/2" spacers to keep the factory rake. I decided if I'm gonna get a lift I want to get the whole kit. I should get more than 2.5" out of it too, I parked my Jeep next to another factory Liberty yesterday and mine was sitting a bit lower, so my springs are sagging a little. Can't wait to get it installed. Did you see the CK thread on VJC?

Well the run is closed now. He only wanted 13 people, so I didn't wanna post a link here.

Randy,

You are going to be real happy. I read your VJC post from the 101 course and I'd be willing to bet you'd go through the same obstacles with minimal spotting and ground contact...

Thanks Todd!! That is funny I was thinking today about doing that run again just to see the difference. I need to put the thing in 4lo this time too :lol: :lol:

I'll post pics Saturday after I get the lift and new tires installed. Desert Fab is doing the lift. They are a good shop and not many people around here do work on Saturdays.
