OME 790's only for the front,the HD OME 927's are lighter rated then your stock coils on your CRD.OME 948's for the rear.

Jeepin By Al or AllJ's are both great places to buy them.

the 790s are a little stiff if you don't have extra weight (skids, bumpers) for my taste.

When the stock shocks wore out I went w/ Jeepin By Al's 1.5" lift kit.

Front: OME790 and NS131
Rear: OME948 and N132L

Jeep handles MUCH better now. Wife complained about the lift for awhile (this is her daily Driver - just her and the baby) but she agrees it drives better. I installed steps for her and now she's used to it.

I am starting to hear that. However I can't say they were bad on the phone for talking to me about all the kits and what has what. Being they use OME springs and shocks really all they are touching is the spacers. Is going with there Rockfather or whatever kit a bad idea? Said a 3" and i'll be able to fit the 31's I have for it with a 4.00 backspace wheel. Sounds doable? If not i'll call and cancel it I guess but still would be in need of a lift. I know OME is way to go but I already bought these darn 31" tires. I want them on it haha

I ordered from them for samurai parts once. They didnt communicate part of the order well, it was a split shipment , some from them and some from Tuffy for a center console. The tracking # they sent was just their portion but they didnt explain it. When it arrived (quick shipping, well packed), I was concerned about the lack of a console. I emailed to no response about the issue. I finally got in contact with them and thats when I learned of the split shipment. I asked for a tracking number and the response was along the lines of you'd have to get that from Tuffy. I was sort of shocked. They eventually did get me the # but it was if I was asking for a favor? Weird. The Tuffy arrived fine, took along time, but I guess thats Tuffys way of doing things. If RRO would have put a few more minutes of customer service into this up front, I would have zero complaints. As is, I wouldnt order from them unless I had to (really the best price or the only one with the product).
