I wish I had Piginajeeps wisdom and figured out that I could have just called and asked for 3" springs to accompany a long arm kit as opposed to buying a short arm kit to keep my COG low. Should be remedied before summer, but definitely would have saved a few bucks and not needed to do things twice.

I am pretty pleased. Way better than stock.
2.5 RC BB and Skyjacker shocks. The cheap shocks were a lil stiff @ 35psi (stock KM's)
So I backed off to 32psi and it's just fine.

When the KM's ever decide to wear out (30k) I will upgrade to the RC coils to
make a lil more room for 35's.

My setup has not let me down yet.

Love the OME shock and coil lift. Without question, I would get the same set up again.

Very pleased, as long as I don't park next to a JK with a bigger lift and tires!

Hmmm, funny to hear. I got a 4" Superlift and not a single problem. It's quiet, shocks seem long last, rides firm but smooth. No sag. Flexes good in the rocks. I did get a couple of options over the base kit tho. Rock Runner swivel lower control arms and remote reservior shocks. I think it came in somewhere around $1500 or so.

Now I want a 6" LA. That's just life I guess.

I am happy with my ride height(at the moment).

I am running 3.5" springs in front and 4.5" in the back to help compensate for the heavy rear bumper/tire system.

G'day my northern Bro's. I'm from Ozzie. I've heard rumours down the tracks here that once you lift over 2" you require to put lengthened shafts in from the box to the diffs... Has anyone heard similiar? or done so? Any info would be muchly appreciated!

PS. SPEWIN! about the Ozzie dollar at the moment, I was loving to buy some sweet goods for the beast, that'll have to go on hold a while.
