Default Rustys 3 inch w/ OME shocks

how will a rustys 3 inch lift ride if i put on Old Man Emu shocks? was figuring the rough ride from the rustys lift would be equaled out by the OME shocks

whichever will make it ride better, didnt know there was any other kind. my jeeps 2wd so i dont care how well the lift functions off road because i dont really take it offroad much at all, just school and back, and right now to work and back.... so would the comfort ones give me a better ride? just heard the rustys kits really give you a ruff ride, and i found this rustys kit for 100 bucks, with shocks and i could sell those shocks and make a little extra money towards the OME shocks

Mine was the same,everthing was worn out and sagging,handled like crap on road,even worse off.I love my OME lift,didn't want to go really big,but needed more tham a BB.I went a little crazy with all the goodies I added.

lol know exactly what you're talking about, went to the pull a part and i was like a kid in a candy store, bought so many parts that i probably dont even need

but i found a set of OME shocks for 200 with a matching steering shock (dont exactly know what thats for) sound like a good deal? figured 300 in a full lift aint bad

not sure, ill have to ask him. and yeah, all the jeeps were completely stripped, one guy was pulling an engine while i was pulling A/C plugs, but i did find one that would have had a perfect set of seats, except someone took out the drivers seat and put it on the roof thought i was gonna get rid of my coffea staind seats

yeah, most parts on the jeeps were broken....like every single grill was. i dont understand why you would take the grill off and put it in the back then just throw a muffler on it? but i can understand some things....it was 100*F and the gauge cluster with 30 screws holding it on was all that was keeping me from my long sought after clock i had been looking for....so i just broke it instead....
