Hate to be the bearer of bad news but Jeepinbyal no longer sells lift kits. I just called today to order my kit, and was told they are no longer selling them. Does anyone know of another good place to get a OME lift kit? |

Wow, almost everything on their website for the KK is listed as Out of Stock. Hope they are not going out of business. Wonder what's up? |

It was a real bummer hearing the news, luckily I ordered mine the week before the announcement. If you find the OME spring numbers and shock numbers that you want from his site, you can find them from Amazon, CarID, and some other websites The real pain will be losing his coilovers and 4" rear springs, and the other assorted accessories he offered EDIT: He's not going out of business, this was an email he sent out on Monday

Ya he told me that they are focusing on the arms. It would be nice to find a place to buy the OME kit at a reasonable price like JBA though. He said to try 4wd.com, but I didnt see anything listed. So when I get time ill have to give them a call. |

Well shizz....was on the verge of ordering the OME lift myself. Also noticed that ATH no longer lists KK rock sliders :/ Looks like I am a tad late on finally getting things built up.... |

Just bought an OME lift for my '08 KK with JBA arms in the middle of May. He never said anything about them stopping soon. I was shocked when I got the email announcing it. |

Have found coils on Amazon (ARB 2927 Fronts / ARB 2948 Rears) and am looking at Bilstein shocks...Are there better options than Bilstein 24-139168 (fronts) & Bilstein 24-139175 (rears)? See lots of duplicate KJ/KK info, want to nail this down and get it right the first time. Sitting on some amazon gift cards and prices are pretty good on these there anyway. Also saw something somewhere about fitting the bilsteins, can't remember where - any info on that appreciated too... Thanks |

I'm fitting OME springs and Bilstein shocks. Amazon has a decent full-set of the numbers you list. Same as what I ordered. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B079QNK71P/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 |

He said to try 4wd.com, but I didnt see anything listed. So when I get time ill have to give them a call. I was looking at upping my 1.5 OME to something in the 3 inch rang. I'm looking at upgrading my system too. Would hate to drop all my armor and put it back stock. If that happens, no need to keep the KK and I'm not going the wrangler route as my every day driver. Noted JBA stopped lifts as of June 1-2019. Wonder if he sent his stock somewhere (would have been nice to know). And FWIW, the Amazon link says only 3 are left and it looks like they charge 174 for ONE spring. 4WD parts sells them in pairs, same price. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/arb-old-man-emu-coil-spring-2927/_/R-BHWQ-2927 |

I have the 1.5 OME lift so I guess I need to see if I can find my old invoice and get the numbers off it. Glad I kept my stock hardware. I might end up needing it next tire change and go back to mall crawler height. Gee, found this, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8PB521/re ... ub_0?psc=1, about HALF what I paid to JBA (But still need new "A" arms) |
