need info on changing lifts

I was wondering how much more lift I would get out of an OME lift or a Frankenlift over the daystar lift I have now? I just need some reassurance before I buy a new lift and spend the money twice that I will be happy.

OME HD coils gives around 2.5in of lift with the franken lift giving around 3"+.

Perhaps you should be more concerned about a better driving KJ on and off the road rather than overall lift height:)

The OME should actually be a little lower
the Daystar is a full 2 1/2" over stock spring length
OME lists as 1 1/2" but normally is more - because the springs you are replacing are normally sagged some.
Frankenlift will be the highest - OME + spacer.

OME should give the best ride.

me
I dont see the use in tall lifts and big tires with out the proper equipment that goes along with them
I run 31's lockers and proper gearing on my TJ
Dana 44 rear and 30 front
3" of lift and a few other mods to make it just as good if not better than 4" and 33's
the only thing I would gain from 33's is 1" at the diff's ,in other words nothing
I would how ever need to regear and change my rims or add spacers to avoid rubbing on my LCA's worse than I do now
and maybe 1" of body lift
Just not worth it
