Have you put on aftermarket tires yet? I put a rough country 3.25" lift and after the lift was on it was better than stock until I put on the 35" BFG all terrains. Now it's pretty bumpy. The reason I ask is because I was thinking of switching to OME coils.

I also recently installed an OME lift. I bought the package deal from Northridge with front and rear track bars. It rides great! I'm also running 35" MTR/K on stock Rubicon wheels. Couldn't be happier.

I guess you are using spacers with the stock wheels?
Thanks

I am curious how many define "better then stock" as I read that here a lot. I drive two different 2012 Sahara's. One has a 3.5" lift with 37's and the other only has wheel spacers and there is no comparsion. The lifted one is not bad, and I am loving it. If I had to drive it across the country I don't think it would be too much of an issue, but to say better then stock no way. The smaller one is overall much smoother and the larger one is as stated above a tad bumpy, and there is no doubt I am driving a big vehicle from a feeling standpoint. I am just curious as maybe there is more I can do to soften the ride? I did not skimp on the lift, or shocks. In fact I "thought" I went a tad overboard.

That's a good point. I have already aired them down as far as I want to. The tires did come from a come from co worker that had them on a crew cab hemi ram. Still I think some better quality coils and shocks should help.
