This is the lift I have: http://www.metalcloak.com/XJ-Cheroke...ion-p/7180.htm Very complete, with an excellent ride on and off road. Its so good on road that my wife, who knows and cares nothing about cars noticed it enough to actually mention it to me. I run 31x10.5r15 tires on stock wheels with this kit. I only have rubbing issues when I am fully flexed out off road, but I'm missing part of my bump stops up front. https://i.imgur.com/6ZQEQhd.jpg https://i.imgur.com/zYi0qQm.jpg

I was one of the first 3 people to get the kit, so it had some things to be worked out (mainly the instructions) but they were awesome, and very helpful.

Thank You, That was unproductive. I did expect some flaming though.
I did check out the link and actually had the chance to talk to them @ Jeep Beach here in Daytona in June. Good solid product, Very informative.
His attitude about being unimaginative was so far off the mark it's ridiculous.
All the different advertised heights makes it somewhat difficult to match up components for level stance. ie the OME springs on ARBUSA state 2.5-4" of lift.
Simply put, I cant afford the downtime if I order something and it's not what claims to be.
I'll read between the lines, no rave reviews by end users on the Currie or RE products.
I'll contact MC Monday.
Are the coils the same as the ones on the ARB site (no pics on the site to see for myself) or are they a MC specific product.
Do I need the OME long travel version over the standard version?
Still lacking tire opinions..
Thanks again

I think the problem with the whole kit thing is two fold. One manufacturers advertise low price "kits" that are not complete and usually contain something not worth installing. Two the one size fits all approach misses the mark too. Unless you're spending a decent amount for a full kit that had been engineered for your application, you can achieve a much better finished project if you select the best parts (for you) from all the available sources.
The metal cloak kit seems to be a well thought out package and not a mass produced, well advertised(RC) cheap "kit".
