Finally decided to go with the OME lift and was wondering if i could get some input on which type of coils i should use. I installing my M8000 warn next weekend and the lift the following weekend(can't wait!!) . Iam installing the winch without a aftermarket bumper so the extra added weight to the front end will be about 110lbs(winch and mounting plate). This weight is probably border line between the HD's or MED's, but i would like some advice? Mostly the kj is a daily driver with occasional offroad adventures, so the on road ride must be pretty good.Should i use the HD's in the front or the mediums????? Making the order on moday :D

HD's front and MED rear would help level out the Jeep. Depending on how you position the coils on the front, you can get upwards of 3 nuts on it without upper balljoint contact. :)

So i would have to position the coils so the A-arms/UBL's dont hit? To do this i would just have to turn it until i feel that there would be no contact?or is there any other way so it can be done the first time?
