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
Thanks

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.

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
