Question I'm buying a small lift.. Which one? OME?

I need you guys to tell me what to do.!!!!! I want a 2.5 or 3 inch lift for my jeep 07 JK 2 door, see pic. As you may see it dips a little in the front because of the new front bumper and winch. I have been reading a lot of different opinions regards all brands. I would like to hear from you on the best lift giving the best ride. $$$$$ not really an issue.

OME HD front?
OME Med rear?

Larry,
I would highly recommend the teraflex budget boost with the HD coils up front. I had that kit with a heavy front bumper and it leveled out the rake nicely. The kit comes with shocks, spacers, longer sway bar links, and everything else you need. You can also upgrade later by buying rear coils and control arms seperately. Good Luck!

I think your jeep looks pretty damn good the way it sits.

BUT if you are going to go with a lift and want the best possible ride I would say go OME.

I did and ..... it rides better than stock and is a beast offroad.

TeraFlex has a few different 2.5 spring lifts. Look here: TeraFlex 2.5" Coil Lift Kits and Coils

I have the light duty with a 1" front spacer...running the ARB front bumper and love it. The HD springs may give you closer to 4"...

I like the light duty idea. The front spacer will lift the front a tad also.
