Treader

I am trying to figure out a couple options to run by the wife (I know, but with a baby on the way she doesn't want me to buy a lot of extra toys).

First option
Buy Teraflex leveling kit and OME shocks on the four corners. Later, if I wanted to upgrade the coils I can do so at a reasonable cost.

125 for leveling kit and 340 for shocks = 465

Second Option
Buy OME HD 2'' lift. Bypass the leveling kit in favor of the OME coils and springs.

680 for the kit

Difference of 215 dollars, but in the long run would be more money if I was to buy the coils later on.

Any suggestions on setup.

Your going to a lot happier buying the ome kit as you can run that for a long time and not wonder what if. Been there, done that. I would spend the few extra $$$ and be happy. The ome ride will be way better than with a budget lift and their shocks.

Mopar front with a winch after December 25th.

Homemade rear and looking to build a tire carrier on it pretty soon

I would like an hd front spring and medium rear. Just cause it is a 2 door and hard to fit so much crap in there to warrant a hd spring.

Could driveshaft angle be corrected with the medium/light duty spring. Make the back end sit lower.

I have the OME HD on my 2 dr. and got this ring on the front DS, when it came in contact with the exhaust cross over, I believe. I was still connected up front. I like the HD springs, and will be adding bumpers and a winch on down the road.

Go with the OME kit. It will save you money in the long run and everything will be matched to work together.

I would also suggest going straight for the OME shocks and HD coils, especially if you are planning on adding bumpers and a winch.

Down the road, you may want to also look into the following additions depending on your needs and how she rides:

Adj front & rear trackbars
front lower adj control arms
extended sway bar links
extended brake lines
extended bump stops

I should be installing my ome hd coils next week. I can give you an after measurement. I have a psc brawler front and rear, m8000 winch and or fab tire carrier. Dave among others suggested the hd coils to stay 3 or less inches with the weight.

Treader

So general consensus is OME to begin with.

I don't understand why the hd coils stay so long if they have the constant load weight they are subject too. I am looking for only a 2" lift but every seems to get 3 even with aftermarket bumpers, winches and tire carriers.

I don't understand either, but I can tell you what the after result is. I currently have RC progressive front and non progressive rear. The ride is ok, but I (gf and I) wanted something better. I think the rc gives a little over 2in.
