Torn - aev or ome????
Guys, I've read so much on suspension kits and have narrowed it down to these 2 kits. I'm ready to pull the trigger and order, but just want to get a few last opinions on which way to go. It's either the AEV XT 2.5" or the OME 2" kit I'm looking at. I've heard great things about both kits and price difference is minimal. Has anyone out there had experience with both kits and prefer one over the other?
Keep in mind this is mostly a daily driver on road, with the occassionaly off road adventure. I'm talking 95% on road 5% off road. I do run 35's, have the heavy front/rear bumpers, winch, spare 35", etc. So lots of additional weight.
Thanks in advance for your opinions.

I also run the AEV. The ride is great. I would highly recommend the LCA correction brackets. I have a friend who also has the AEV without the correction brackets and mine rides noticeably better

I also run AEV on my 2012 with the LCA correction brackets. The handling and ride on road is awesome and dirt roads even better.. The LCA bracket are worth the $99 and a little lower clearance. I have heavy bumpers, winch and dual battery setup and no sagging. I also looked at the OME but decided on the AEV.

Hmmmm, still a toss up but it looks like either way I'd be good.
If I did the OME kit, would it still be a good idea to purchase the LCA correction brackets? I read on the AEV site that they fit the 2.5 kit, and other brands as well?

I did the 2" springs and feel no need for the brackets. Decreased ground clearance if you use them too.
