Default rocky road lift?

I came across this website and noticed that it was talking about OME springs and shocks so I was wondering if the lift that they have is actually good or if going with a RE 3.5" with OME shocks would be better. I will be using my jeep as a daily driver and really only going off road every once in awhile and nothing like you guys on here are doing. Mainly doing the lift because Cherokee's look so much better with a lift on them and I like to do things the right way.

yea if your not doing much offroading even, still your ride quality will suck with rocky road. I try to wheel as little as possible (although sometimes i just cant help it) since mine is a daily driver and i have rubicon express so nothing breaks. Also remember to do a SYE and driveshaft if you wanna do it right.

i just got my jeep this past wednesday so im thinking the lift will wait until the summer when i get some more cash (now that i see the additional stuff i'll need to get it right) , also i see kyle is running 31's on a 3.5", is that without trimming? I really wanna stay away from trimming as much as possible while its a DD.
