NO
springs are rated same as stock , rear shocks last a few months
springs will sag back to stock height in 8-10,000 miles

Ironman or OME only if looking for full spring lifts

http://www.jeepinbyal.com for OME ( 835 gives you 2.5 inches of lift can be made more) and Ironman ( 813 gives you 2.25 inches of lift can be made more)
http://www.boulderbars.com for a Frankenlift using OME parts

Rustys and Skyjackers both have spring rates same as stock so no to them

Like tom said, spring kits are better.

I mixed and matched, ironman springs, trim spacer, 1/4 plate, rustys strut, and in the rear I got dakota shocks and jba 4 inch springs. There is still room to jack it up more, but remember.. It's your kj, lift it to 2.5 inches anyway you want, go past that and you need heavier modifications.

Jba arms are a must if you go past 3 ~ 3.5 otherwise your gonna have spring contact.

Use the search function babe

there has been some really good tech posted lately, with pictures and videos even (staring me lol)

Nvm. The OME says it's a 1.5

OME is 2.5". It says that because of Australian regulations.

Okay so the 1.5 is a 2.5? What are the biggest a tires that will fit?

245/75/16... Although I managed a 265/75/16 somehow and nobody understood how it happened and to this day neither do I... It was a freak accident. My springs weren't lifting they way they were supposed to and I only had 2 inches of lift.

OME 927 / 948 combo will give you 2.5 inches of real lift
run 245-75-16s , won't have to regear as you would with larger

You can get it with free shipping from ok4wd.com but customer service is NOT on par with jeepinbyal....

OME prices are pretty much set by ARB ( parent company of OME)
So you're pretty much going to be paying the same price everywhere
Customer Service is what puts a few at the top as far as when and where you buy
Jeppinbyal and AllJs are a close match as far as customer service before and after the sale
