Yes, yes another lift question :D
So recently I talked to Heather at All J and she suggested that I pick up a all OME lift. It would have the OME coils, struts and shocks. Anyone running this all OME setup?

How does it compare to other lifts in the same price point?

OME is the best, can't beat it and lots of people are running variations of it!

No a Frankenlift is godly, OME is great though especially for a DD.

Its funny how many people bring up the question" Will it (put in whatever lift type) be OK/too rough for a daily driver" I think 97.89767 % of the Libertys out there are daily drivers. Mine for example is an 04 with over 104,000 on it, if its not a daily driver don't know what is. So yes you can run say an OME Heavy Duty every day no problems!!

What he said. :D

My KJ is a dd and I love the OME way more than I ever liked the stock ride. It is great. It might be hard to believe that the ride is better than stock if you have never been in or driven a rig with OME springs and struts and shocks, but it seriously handles and rides better than it did the first day I drove it off the lot.

OME all the way I have OME coils and rear shocks and Rancho struts and it is amazing, the difference between it now and stock you will seriously wonder why Jeep wasnt smart enough to make them like this from the factory, lol atleast that was my first thought once I finished and drove it around the block :lol:

<---never been in a OME Jeep. I was in one very lifted truck once, I almost bought it but for whatever reason did not. It was a Chevy 1500 with a huge lift, literally around 10+ inches, it was insane, lol. Now if only I can find a fellow LOST member here in the valley that has a OME KJ for me to try out :D

I know he is going to up here in WA in a few days, He's probably busy wrapping up loose ends for his trip.
