It's my understanding (based on my recent conversation with JeepinOutfitters) that both the 2"and 3" OME kits come with full coils.

I am leaning toward the 2" kit to avoid driveline vibration issues.

The most that would be needed at 3" should be a trade drop if you have vibes.

But to each his own. I am sitting at 3" now and want more.

OME kit from DPG. Rear install done. With the addaleaf it's sitting over 4" higher in back. I hope it settles at least an inch.

OME Lift complete. Front bumper will be installed tonight. Alignment soon. Winch and more armor by spring.

Only install snags were upper rear shock mounts and front trackbar removal (the driver side bolt was fused to the frame bracket).
