OME 2.0 vs. Teraflex 2.5
Noob here...I've had my JK for over a year now and finally ready to get a lift 
...I'm trying to decide between the OME lift, or the Teraflex 2.5 coil lift....I've done a ton a research on both of these lifts, but wanted to get some reviews from y'all about quality, ride, components, etc..I'm currently leaning towards the OME right now...any suggestions and pics of both of these set-up will be great

i just installed the teraflex 2.5 coil lift with the help of some jk members. i cant tell you anything about the OME.
i love the way it looks. it rides just as good as stock, or better. id say its a bit stiffer in the sense its not as wishy washy
. haven't gone wheelin in it yet though.

Both TF and OME are excellent lifts and offer several different configurations. David at Northridge can hook you up with the OME lift with everything you need with it to make it a complete kit.

Yeah, I've read that a lot on here that the OME kit gives you a lot more lift than advertised..the deal breaker is, if I want to spend the extra cash now and get the adj. trackbars.

Very pleased with my OME HD coil spring lift on my JKU. It gave me +3" of net lift even with bumpers and winch. The coils have great off-road and on-road manners. I would consider the HD coils only if you are going to get a winch & aftermarket bumpers. If you are not going bumpers/winch route then look at the MD coil springs. I can see the ride being a little stiff with no added weight with HD coils.
Things I did to make the road handling better & make adjustments easier:
JKS adj track bars - beefy and easy to center & adj axles.
TeraFlex adj lower Control arms -very beefy and easy to adj the caster
Long travel shocks.
With having the 6spd I had no issue with the Driveshaft boot tearing near the Tranny skid plate. If you have an auto you may need to adj or modify the tranny skid plate from tearing the boot or look at a new driveshaft.
The pictures are with 33" tires...but I am upgrading to 35's hopefully this spring, but this was one reason I went with the OME HD coil spring lift was to remove the major sag of the added weight that compressed my stock springs, a lift that will fit 35's and to keep a lower center of gravity. I have heard good things about the TF 2.5" coil spring lift as well....so you really can't go wrong with either spring...it probably will come down to price!
