This is driving me nuts
So please chime in. I want to lift my vehicle
I put on springs and shocks first
now I want to add to the " KIt"
what comes next?
What is most important if there is such a thing.
I am after a good ride reliable as a daily driver competent if not excellent off road
So in what order do you add the parts of your suspension? what is most important? Why? I have seen so many post no one agrees on much.

nope
My first purchase will be shocks and springs. Then what ? I am planning on the OME heavy duty springs 2.25 inch and their upgraded shocks but what come after

If you don't have a Rubicon, longer swaybar links with quick disconnects, some longer brakelines or a drop bracket, and bumpstop extensions. Then of course some nice 33's or 35's on some new rims or stock rims with Spidertrax spacers. If you want to get more advanced, look at some adjustable arms and a better steering stabilizer.

2. OME HD coils will give 3", not 2.25
3. Go out to northridge and look at the Long Travel kit. Those are the components you want. Start basic and add as you get the money.
4. Start browsing the other several thousand lift and gearing and tire threads before you even consider dropping any coin.
5. If you haven't figured out what all of the different components do by then, take another step back and research what they do and why you might want/need any of them

I noticed you're in Encinitas, my hometown
I might suggest you attend a local run to get more specific answers to your questions and see what other people are running that wheel the same type of terrain you run
The next two up comming runs are:

Look in my profile and my album. The photo's in the garage are with the new winch and bumper and a 2 1/2 disk loft. It still sagged and as I described in your other thread steered heavy and rode rough. The other photo's show it with the 2 1/2" Teraflex lift and the Spiderflex spacers.
