JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default OME LT Installed

Installed this lift yesterday...took approx 8hrs. This is my first Jeep, and my first experience installing a lift of any kind.

The OME LT is listed as a 2.5" lift but it gives/gave me 3.25", I'm sure it will settle some,

Did you use the HD springs or the standards?

I used the HD, just as the kit comes with. The ride is AWESOME! I had 32 psi in the tires before, and after the lift install,(Any less and the tpms goes off).. Now small bumps are almost not noticeable. The shocks must be much better than the Rubicon stock ones....

Congrats!Looks awesome. Like them wheels too. I just installed my RC lift about a week ago and had my first offroad excursion today. The added height performed very well. Enjoy.

Great job for your first time! Your rig looks sweet.

How was your install? What parts were PITA?

Following the suggested write ups for this lift made everything pretty straight up...The rear coil spring retainer was really the only PITA part, but because of others experience on the forum and their willingness to share, even that was expected and their was a solution already offered.

Awesome support from forum members and fantastic customer service from David at Northridge 4x4 made this a very "Do-able" for someone with no experience.
