Default OME lift question

I am pretty sure that is the lift I want to get on my UJK Rubi, my question is, I want to run 35" on it but want to be able to run 37" later. Is that feasible or recommended for that lift. I would get the hd coils. Tks for the help

I've got the hd coils and bw flatties with 35's and with the bumpstop extensions I will have room to disco and fully flex out with 37's.

Good choice on lift, it rides great. Get the swaybar links swapped out for jks quick discos I you don't have e discos.

Check out planman's rig. It's a two door, but I think he's on 40's right now with that lift...and a couple other goodies.

I've been looking at putting those coils on my 2dr and have read a fair amount about them. I don't think I have seen anyone say anything negative about them.

I definitely like the OME setup. (Currently running the 619/618+40 coils.)

I'd recommend doing the long travel setup if you're going to wheel it.

You can make it more of a complete kit/package through Northridge 4x4. David will help you & answer any questions.

Here's planman's thread on the lift & running 40s.

For some more info - here's a link to WOL's thread on his orange JK (Nemo) running the OME 619/618 coils, Bushwacker flats & 37" tires.

There are 5 different OME coils for the JK. Be sure to get the taller ones, and then start adding components to fix the issues associated with lift height.

And another vote of the northride long travel setup. It wasn't available when I ordered my gimp short travel HD setup through them...
