Default OME 2" vs Teraflex 2.5" coil lift

Gonna be upgrading soon and wanted opinions on these and actual lift height gain when they are installed vs what they are listed at 2" and 2.5" respectfully. I have a heavy Jeep. Bumper, winch, rails, rear customer mer bumper with gas can(dont keep cans full unless going on trip). Thanks for your help

With a heavy jeep, I would go with the OME. Teraflex springs are better for lighter jeeps.

If I remember correctly, OME has different springs for different weight jeeps: regular, medium, and heavy duty.

Happy Jeeping!

On my 2-door: I have a full width steel front bumper, with a Warn VR10,000 with steel cable. I replaced my rubicon rock rails with a set of White Knuckle Off-road frame mounted rock rails. I have no rear bumper, but have a hard top, a full sized spare wheel and 35in tire. I do carry recovery gear and some tools in the back, but have no back seat.

With the TF lift I got right at 2in up front, and after adding 1/2in spacers to the rear I got right at 2in in the rear.

I went with the OME 615/617 combo on my relatively light weight 2 door. I have .5" spacers up front to account for the weight of the winch.
With my setup I got right around 2" coming from the factory hard rock springs(2.5 front with the spacer.)
The hard rock bumpers weighed much more than my stubby front/rear bumpers, so my jeep sat higher on the factory springs.

I've got a 2DR with JCR front and winch (~100lbs), sliders (~80lbs), and JCR rear (~60lbs). I have the 616/617 coils and have right at 2.5" of lift. No problem at all with 35s and flats. Could fit 37s with proper bumpstops and a little more trim on the pinch seam. Here's a pic for reference.
