Default Rusty this, Rough Country that.

I hear a lot of talk on many many threads about these guys what about OME?
Any one ride on a set?
Just wondering if the price meets the standards they claim. I've got a 2wd, for now. I was wondering about ride quality vs. the stiffness of other lifts for a DD.

^^^ You'll get what you paid for.

OME is a good lift with many years of research going into their product, the Aussies harsh terrain will punish and show the weakpoints of a lesser product. They even offer varying spring rates dependant on expected usage.

I think you might see more of their product on the XJ if they offered something in the upper lift heights, progressive spring rates get harder to configure when you try to get an OEM ride and still flex like a slinky on the trail.

Not many are willing to pay the OME pricing premium for a lower height lift in the US, it's not quite the same market it is in AUS.

Funny avatar pick nukin that's epic.

Anyways, why isn't there a "kit" per say. Or do they not make them.
You look at Rustys's site for example a 4" lift consist of nearly 20 new parts.
To acheive 4 with OME it's just shocks and springs and 2 spacers is things like control arms links and such not needed and why?
The arb site isn't much help at all and searches only bring up product reviews and crap.

And again this is questions for a DD, light duty, nearly pavement dedicated. Just concerned about ride quality.
