thanks. I have a couple of questions though. And i know Teraflex cant comment on the first one because they obviously don't make OME stuff haha. But what are the real differences between the Tera lift and the OME ????? Does the OME yield a bit more lift?

Also, I saw the on the RTI ramp, it got a 540 something. That doesn't seem to high, especially for a rubicon. I was expecting to see around a 900 or so....but maybe im getting my hopes up Didnt the rubicon ramp a 740 or so from the factory???

I found an RTI Converter Calculator here. Using their Converter, the 20° RTI score would be about 794.

In the 2008 Wrangler Brochure that you can pick up at a dealer, it states that the Unlimited Rubicon with the sway bar disconnected on a 20° ramp has an RTI score of 644, so the TeraFlex kit improves the RTI score by 150 or about 23%!

You are also close about the 900 score. According to the brochure, the stock 2 door Rubicon has an RTI score of 822.

Always tighten rubber bushings in their neutral (driving) position.
Hey, Joe. As you know I am going to start this install Thurs, probably wrap it up on Fri. What do you mean to tighten the bushings in the neutral position? Any other tips or tricks? I'm stoked to get this on the rig.

I wheel my JK pretty rough and it sees some serious rock crawling out here in AZ. I'll post some pics of your product being put through a true and rigorous test on 4 great trails around Sedona this weekend. Thanks for your help via the phone earlier, too.

Neutral position is when the JK is sitting on flat ground. We're finding that when a lift is done without removing or loosening the control arm bolts, that the stock bushings may bind some.
