Jeepin by al has 1/4 inch

I have boilers but we did't use them maybe that was incorrect judgement but whats done is done and I'm OK with it for now. If I decide to take it apart again down the road maybe I shall put them in.

While looking at OME Suspensions RRO's site, :SOMBRERO: I saw kits with OME struts and kits with GR2 shocks and struts. Is there a significant difference in strut/shock? :juggle:

I bought most of my stuff From Jeepin By Al. I did get the brake relocation bracket and rear bumpstop from all J products because Al did not sell that but Either seems to have good customer service.

Lift Guru Mudd, do you have a preferred OME retailer? Someplace with decent prices on good products?

Either JeepinByAl or AllJs
both have OME, both offer great service
and at about the same price
Other than those two its hit or miss

Thanks Tom. Your opinion is definitely valued.

I would say tom is right about that. I bought the bulk of my lit stuff from JBA because I have met Marlin at the PA jeeps show and he is in PA not much more than an hour away so I was able to go pick up my order and save some :2cents: on freight charges.

Also I can't say what other shocks and struts make the jeep ride like but its been said the OME with 790 springs is a good combination on the CRD and I have to agree. Mine has a nice ride to it. I am pleased with my lift.

I have OME springs and shocks front and rear with JbA front top plates. I haven't put on the rear Isos yet. The improvement in ride and handling was very noticeable. I would strongly recommend it.
