SIMON SAYS;

depends on what you want;

OME Mediums are OME 926
OME heavy Duty are OME 927
both above are for the front

Rear
Mediums OME 947
Heavy Duty OME 948

Ranchos
Front RSX 17505
Rear RSX 17004s

front bumpstops from Teraflex, 801-713-4947
about 40 some bucks shipped to you, have to look up the number can't remember it right now

Also some recent prices on the OMEs
4x4 Connection 888-805-0810 67.79 each
OK 4WD 908-454-6973 71.95
AllJs 151.55 for a pair
Rocky Road 69.00 each
I just got a set for another lift I am getting ready to do for someone and got them from OK4WD had them in two days, great service ! Of course AllJs always has great service as well.

alright thanks tom i appreciate the help. No whwat kind of place would be able to install this for me if i brought all of the parts to them? if you know anywhere near Chicago or northern Illinois that would be great.
BTW would one of these kits work and then all i would need would be bumpstops right?

yes that kit would work or you could since you mentioned using Ranchos
4 springs 288
front struts around 180/190
rear shocks 120 or so have to check around for the best prices on the Ranchos but still would have 590/600 consider then that the all OME kit is 678.

any good shop should be able to install in 3/4 hours. if you were closer I could help you out, or ask around on the Midwest site and get a lift party going out that way

thats what they say 2 inch or so but you get more than advertised, very conservative advertising I think!

i got about 2.5" and my KJ had about 60k on it so the springs had sagged, but i also did a clevis and a extra iso and ended up with 3"

According to OME Heavy Duty springs are for thsoe who have a bumper and winch. Mediums are for some one having a bumper. BUT a lot of people are running the Heavy Dutys and no bumper / winch, it does give you a firm ride, but thats what I like about them. You will not have to regear due to having heavy duty springs, also you will not have any problems with the cvs unless you try to put too much clevis or add an OTT to it, springs alone will not hurt the CVs


Tom :wink:

now..... I will be gone for the weekend so don't let anyone lead astray, you're on the right track! :lol: :lol:

Just got my OME springs shocks and struts today!!!

I went with HD springs and regular travel Shocks.

Image

I dealt with Heather at All J Products (www.boulderbars.com)

Incredible customer service! The parts were supposed to be shipped directly to me in Canada from Australia, but due to new customs restrictions they had to be shipped to California first, then to me. Heather picked up the extra cost. I didn't even have to ask. Pretty cool.

I'll post more pictures once they are installed!

awesome uttles..good luck!
Logan...I hear the lift height is the same btn MD and HD. So I'm just wondering why a lot of people seem to be going with HDs when they dont have any extra hardware? :T hmmm. I'm ordering my kit this week so hopefully they'll be some feedback on this!

I'll try and post measurements from the centre of the wheel to the flare edge, once it's installed (and before I guess for comparison).

After much research I decided on the HD's and hopefully I won't be dissapointed.

Reasons:
Towing
Lots of gear
Future bumper potential
Lift height over time
Nice stiff ride
