Just out of curiosity, does anyone currently run a Skyjacker 2.5" lift on their KK, or have they tried this lift at all? I've been looking around for a little feedback regarding this lift because I'm in between it and an OME, but I haven't found anyone who has actually installed it and has run it for a bit. So any thoughts or feedback?

Well for $750 it's missing shocks. I didn't know this kit existed. I've seen a few people on here suggesting to stay away from SkyJacker shocks, but hopefully someone with actual experience will respond.

Just go with OME. It's been proven to be the best for its price. Just conform. Do it.

Tons of people are running the OME setup so we can all tell you how great it is.

Don't get me wrong, OME is decent, but I've had good experiences with other products on my previous vehicles. For the longest time options were extremely limited (everyone else in the world gets the good stuff for the KK). Personally I'd like to find someplace in the states that carries an EFS lift kit, but no luck so far...

On your previous vehicles another company may have done fine
There isn't a lot of options available for the KJ/kk line, most companies don't even want to provide lifts and if they do they are a lame attempt at lifting
OME is more than a "decent " lift IMO after years of use on different model Jeeps including over 160,000 miles on my KJ
Now running the JBA adjustable coil overs and its the best so far

I have a full OME kit for sale if you want it. Only 5k miles on it.
