Default Alright, just looking for opinions on an entry lift

I am between the TeraFlex 2.5" coil lift and the OME 3" lift on a 2011 Unlimited. Daily Driver, so I am still looking for a comfortable ride, but would like a more aggressive stance and more capability on the trail also. I can get them both on sale right now, TF about $50 cheaper...

Pics would be beneficial also.

Thanks in advance.

Saving my cash for the OME - buddy has this and has a softer ride which I prefer for my daily driver.

Thanks, I have heard about the OME having a softer ride and thinking to spend the extra for that as well.

I've got the OME kit and it's great. Smooth ride, yet stiff enough coils to compensate for heavy bumpers/tire carriers.

I recommend it

The TF2.5 and OME HD give the same approximate height. Both will give 3" or a touch more, so you will want the same components with either one. (consider axle centering, caster correction, brake lines/brackets, bumpstops, links, etc).

I have the OME, so it gets my vote, but with tons of positive reviews on it, you can't go wrong with the TF either.

I bought the Rough Country 4" lift with their X Flex arms last year. It rides a lot better than stock. Much smoother and more comfortable on the highway. More controlled body roll off-road in washes, lots of clearance and articulation. It is a great kit for under $1200. Every one that bought this kit on this forum is very happy with it. Teraflex stuff is made in china, Rough Country is made in the USA.

you cannot go wrong with OME, go for the nitrocharger sport shocks
