Default OME 2" vs Skyjacker 2.5" vs RE 3.5" lift

Has anyone put one of the on, or know someone who has? I have an 08 JKU Sahara. I am mainly looking to find out how much actual lift they got, how long its been on, any sagging. That sort of stuff. I have RR stubby and will have either a Body Armor crawler or OR-FAB crawler rear bumper.

Thanks

I would also suggest looking at the Rock Krawler 2.5 and Teraflex 2.5 kits. Both are very popular and both have great customer service.

I had/ have the 2.5" skyjacker. I got the lift and put it on my 07 JKU then a year or so later up graded to the skyjacker 4'' and put the 2.5" on my wife's 09 dr which makes it a 3" it's been on her jeep for years with no issues on either of our jeeps. The only thing I notice was on the JKU with the 2.5 on 35"s at full flex you would rub your fenders, but trim your fenders and then there is no problem.

Default Sj 2.5"

I too have the 2.5" Skyjacker on a '07 2 door with Rubi 32s... It sits nearly as high as a friends unlimited with a 4" lift! It rides excellent at highway speeds, and I run with NO FRONT SWAYBAR for 40 miles a day at 70-80 in traffic- WITH a XRC bumper and 10.5k winch.

I dont have a flat ground/full flex picturer but I am looking for a ramp or forklift to comandeer!

I will upgrade to softer valved shocks in the future, to smooth out high speed washout and horrible street rides.

I have the OME rides very smooth I forgot to measure before I installed the lift but comparing to others in my club I got between 3-3.5, only personal experience I've heard of with skyjacker 2.5 is that her daughter bounces all over the place she says it's much worse of a ride than stock
