Default OME 2" Lift on 2012 JK

I am about to order my lift with track bars and need to know if I will need anything else? Driveshaft? Exhaust? I have read many post with 3" lift needing these things and have heard the OME lift can be 2.5" - 3" of actual lift. If anybody has experience and can share some info it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

If i've researched correctly....OME 2" lift is closer to 3", especially withe the HD coils.
At 3" you'll need the get the exhaust spacers to clear the driveshaft, or an aftermarket driveshaft.

I'm not sure if you need brake line relocation brackets with that kit, and you haven't specified if youre running extended shocks or not,....for shock extensions.

Well OME lift will come with longer shocks and not the extensions. The longer brake lines was another thing I meant to mention.

OME light duty kit is 2inches and the HD is 3in. if you have a 2 door you will be looking more around 3in for the LD and 4 in for the HD

Yes, i believe 2 drs will require a rear drive shaft with that much height
