ORE Enforcer with 2.5" Kings VS ORE Long Arm with Bilsteins??????????????
I am looking for feed back from people that are actually running these two kits. I know the long arm is new so their may not be a lot of those out.
I just picked up my 11 and took it on a 800 mile trip and the ride was shitty. As soon as you hit uneven bumps the thing is flighty and skiddish. Feels like it wants to roll over on itself. I realize its not a cadillac but I want the best ride I can get with the new lift.
I was going witht he AEV 4.5" but have now narrowed it down to the ORE set ups. If I do the long Arm I wont be able to pull the trigger with the Kings, I will have to keep the Bilsteins (I'm already at 10k with the enforcer set up, wheels, tires, driveline, headlights, gears, sleeves/gussets). Knowing that, what would be a better choice for on road ride, the Enforcer with the 2.5's or the Long Arm with the Bilsteins?
I have money in hand and am waiting on my wheels/tires. I know its a lifted jeep and wont ride like a caddy, but bottom line if I'm spending this kind of money, I want the best riding lift possible. I talked to one member with the Enforcer and his thoughts were that he liked the set up, but it wasnt really smooth on road. So I dont want to make a $2850 mistake.

I've got a 2007 Sahara 4 door with the ORE Enforcer kit and King 2.5's.
I am happy with the ride quality. If you go with this kit be sure to get the Droplink kit for the front, it's an option. Remember, it's a Jeep. If you think the ride is rough try lowering the tire pressure a bit, say 28 psi.
I'm running on 35" Goodyear MT/R's and it looks great. I get a little rubbing on the front lower control arm on the right side and I think 37's will max you out for tire clearance with this kit.

The suspension soaks up the bumps quite well and when you air down on the trail it's a really nice ride, IMO. I have the same issue with the Jeep wandering down the freeway lanes but I think that is mainly due to the tire tread and the grooves in the lane. I got my Enforcer kit before the flip kit was an option but I am having one installed tomorrow and then can report on any improvement.

I'm also running the ORE Enforcer lift for 37" tires. As I told you in your PM, I like the lift and it is better than stock. If your planning on running 37" tires your going to want to use spacers. Well I did anyway. I'm running Toyo's that are 13.5, you might not have a rub if you go with 12.5 tires.
I think that ORE is one of the best systems out there for duel use. On Road & Off Road... Good luck in your quest
Also, I don't think that a 1" body lift is going to help you with a rub on the control arm or frame... Neither of those will be changed with a body lift at all.
