Default Tera 2.5 bb vs OME 2" kit- height difference

I currently have a 2.5 budget boost and Im considering changing to a Old man emu 2" kit with sport shocks and Light coils, for a smoother ride.
I have heard different results as far as height goes. My concern is that I don't want any more lift than I currently have. I could stand a little less.
I cant park in my basement with my soft top on, hard top fits barely.

Why not try just upgrading shocks with the budget boost?

Apples and oranges IMO

The 9000's are like 9 shocks in 1

The OME coils will be firmer than the stock springs. This is not a bad thing but they will not give you a "softer" ride than stock. The OME coils (even the light version) will most likely give you more than 2.5" lift spacer lift.

I run the OME lift with HD coils. I got 3.2 inches of lift from them. I love the lift and nitrocharger shocks...and the ride, with other adjustments, is better than the stock ride.

I would agree you are not going to get a lot less then 2.5" lift with OME, but the ride will be much nicer than stock no question.
