2.5" Teraflex Budget Boost with Stock Shock Adapters, the relocation bracket in the rear, and an adjustable JKS track bar in the front. Also has Spidertrax spacers and am rurnning 33x12.50x15's.
I like this look alot....and it is a daily driver...smooth ride. Before and after shots.

I don't think you can really go wrong with either - I have the OME with HD springs and was shocked how well it handled on the road, with 35's, afterwards. Better than stock. I only wish the long-travel shocks were available when I bought it.

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 think the ride is probably slightly stiffer than stock, but some of that was the tire pressure (which I've lowered per recommendations). Also, when I put my hardtop back on for the winter it seemed to improve ride quality a little more.. not sure why, but it did. I put on Nitto Trail Grapplers in 295/70R18 as these were slightly thinner than the 35s (34.6" x 11.5" vs 34.8" x 12.5") this will help me some with snow on paved roads in the winter here in Colorado, but also provide plenty of beef for some fun. I've been extremely happy with TF and would recommend it to everyone.

. To answer your question, I have a Steel Blue 4dr Sahara. I saw your jeep in a thread not too long and it got my mind set on the 34' Trail Grapplers, so once I get my jeep done it will look a lot like yours.

Probably can't go wrong with either as mentioned but I opted for the OME. I sure can't complain about it at all. Got more lift than advertised,,, great ride and handling.

JKs with autos tend to get driveshaft damage w/ higher lifts. It is well documented on this and other sites. When I was comparing the 2 kits, it seemed the OME was taller and should incklude more parts than were in the kit. Also, I read about too many drive shaft issues from owners of the OME kit. I love the higher look, but for me it's not worth all the trouble.
