+1 on the Rancho's

FYI on 2.5'' you'll need extended bump stops if you don't already have them...

Bottomed my new shocks out a few times the first time out with mine.. Now I need new bump stops before I can go out wheeling again

Has anyone run OME and Rancho 9000? If so, what is your take on the two and what setting on the Ranchos comes close to the OME?

I have. They were both good shocks but I like the nitro sports better. I didn't play around too much with the adjustment. I couldn't get them to stay in a transitional state, they seem to go from harsher to squishy with little in between. I still thought they were good shocks. Especially for the money. I bought during the promo and paid $207 for 4.

I've got OME on the grand cherokee and bilstein on the JKU and I've very pleased with both. The grand has never been offroad like the jk but on the street they are very nice.

The bilstein's have been great on and offroad on the jk.

For the money you can't beat the 9000's.

I switched out the stock rubi shocks on my jkur for Rancho 9000s and have been very happy with the ride. They are supple but dampen well.
