Default Best Quality Lift

So now that I've got my wheels and tires it's time to start looking at lifts. I'm thinking about getting something between 2-3in and was wondering which lift is the best quality. I'm torn between TeraFlex, OME, and Zone...

Any feedback?

I just installed the OME lift this past weekend and love it. It actually rides better than my stock suspension. Be sure to order you sway bar connectors and fuel lines.... I was not in the know on this and now am waiting for my next ups order. You can run with the stock, but wheeling is gonna be a prob for sure.

Good luck!

Btw - I got 3.5 in the front and about 3.25 in the rear with the 2" lift. The winch is gonna drop me down a little, but getting over 2" with the OME is very common. I got the heavy too.

I love my Teraflex 2.5 kit.. Rides great with Bilsteins. I also wheel with a couple of guys who have the OME with OME shocks and they ride much softer, but still a great ride. one guy runs a BDS (Zones parent company) kit and its nice too. To throw out another option the Full Traction 3" premium kit is another great kit. Out of them all, I still like my choice. Good luck, your options are limitless and all excellent.

Thanks Slackr! One of the things that confuses me is all of the options that OME has but I plan on calling Dave @ Northridge to get the best combo if I go with the OME.

Make sure you check out any of the full traction 3" lifts.
there are 3 levels, I have the ultimate. I haven't seen a tougher lift in that size.
WOL has a review on it and had it on his jeep early on.
