Your jeep looks good, I like it. I especially liked reading your description of the ride quality. Because I own a 91 limited with sagging rear leafs. I'm going to replace them over winter. And I wanted to keep it stock looking, But wanted a little more height. I was undecided between using the factory " Up Country Pkg. ", Or a Old Man Emu 2.5 system. But I wasn't sure about the ride quality. The more I read about OME, The more I liked them. They seem to be very highly rated. While anyways your post convinced me to go with OME 2.5. Thank you, your testimony to OME was greatly appreciated!

Whoa...didn't expect all these comments but thanks!


I'm afraid that blacking it out completely would make it difficult to see at night and people would randomly walk into it. Me no want people carnage.
