Im finally getting an OME lift for my pre-lowered '02 KJ and I have a few questions

Which are the better shocks?
SkyJacker Nitro?

and for the rear Im using Rancho:

and with OME Im only looking at 1.5" front and 2" rear, correct? so then if thats right I should be able to add the Daystar 1.5" front and 2" rear spacer right? Wich would equal out to be 3" front and 4" rear and I'd prolly add a small clevis lift in the front to make it a little bit more level

Ranchos are second best to OME.

Man, that's a pretty sweet present! What if you kick in a bit of cash out of your pocket and upgrade?

I live in Canada, and was just quoted on Friday or Medium springs front and rear, ome struts, and ome long travel shocks.
Canadian: 920 plus tax for parts. the dollar is almost par with the American currency but things are always cheaper down there.

Installation was another $800.00.

He's makin a list, he's checkin it twice.... :lol:
