what are your guys opinions on this OME 5" lift? i searched and found nothing but good reviews of smaller kits but nothing on 5". my only real concern is that it comes with 1/2" blocks in the rear. but they are solid steel and is 1/2" really cause for concern? Thanks guys i dont know if im allowed to post the link to the lift kit or not so maybe ill post it later if i find out its ok.

looks like they make you add-on your own control arms. so $240 for adjustables (or this leaves you the option of buying some long arms from somewhere else)
$40 for ubolts
then you'll want to ditch the blocks and get shackles $90
discos $105
the kit is $811

so the kit is $1280 before shipping and you still need to go get your own shackles
I wouldnt bother with that kit personally. I dont really like the coil spacer and block idea.
but if you have a couple dollars extra and some time to play with it I'm sure that could be a killer suspension.

thats what i was thinking. im not a fan at all of spacers and blocks but with the right everything it could be a sweet kit. based on what ive read and heard OME is legendary for their quality both on and off the trail.

good luck with Rocky road...they SUCK..google them and you will see what I am talking about...they promise and dont deliver...I had to go to the Better business bereau to get my money back for them...just want to save you ALOT of headaches....you have been warned! DPG off road and others are way better to do business with

I've only heard good things about OME; Rocky Road not so much.

DPG FTW!! If your ever in my area again and want to take my X for a ride feel free to drop a line. I have JC1B packs with stock shackles.

If I was looking to acheive 5" I would get OME Med packs 2", then OME AAL 1" I'm told, then relocation brackets 1.5", Shackles 1". Up front I would just add ACOS to the OME springs for 3.5"-5.5". Or you could just pick up a set of Deaver or National springs

You would have the very good ride with full adjustability. Oh long arms? Which ones?

That actually sounds like a really good plan. I started looking into OME after you told me about it the day I was picking up the sliders and it seems like a solid way to go if I want to build it the right way.

thats a rocky road lift with OME stuff added to it. its not a 100% OME lift.
