The other thing I do like about OME is they dont make all the other stuff and it gives you the chance to purchase individual components that you want. This way you get the best of everything.

By your statement I can tell you have never driven a jeep with a OME kit, YOu should try it sometime.

They are manufactured in Australia by ARB. They are then distributed in the U.S. by ARB USA, a division of ARB's main corporation in Australia. So, yes, they are made in Australia, and the exchange rate with the dollar being horrible, globally, affects the final pricing. That coupled with the import taxes and shipping from the other side of the planet, drives the cost up. ARB products reflect the same high prices. They are also responsible for IPF lights, another extremely high pricetag item. That's neither here nor there.

Yes, David, I have ridden in a vehicle with the OME setup, and while the ride is nice, it still isn't nice enough for ME to justify the astronomical costs associated with buying. I never knocked the quality, performance, or ride comfort of their products, justs the extremely high prices. This is all my personal opinion.
