I've been running OME lift for about 9 years and over 100,000k miles.
The coil springs are still running, the shocks lasted approx. 80,000k miles, I replaced them with new OME units. The leafs were perfect, but I upgraded to medium duty on account of the amount of gear I haul when off-road. The original 2" light duty leafs had not sagged in approx. 80,000k miles.
I am extreamely pleased with the ride, and longevity of the springs/shocks.
Hope that helps.

I'm looking too. I bought my '92 with 3" Skyjacker coils and its stiff as can be. After doing some research I found out that Skyjacker's 3" XJ coils are 218lbs while most companies are 150-180lbs!!! Its no wonder it feels like I'm gonna break something everytime I hit a bump!
