Default Old Man Emu suspension kit

Anyone running an OME suspenion kit? If so, how do ya like it. I was lookin at em because I want a small lift that replaces the leafs and so on because my Jeep has almost 200k miles.

Post any pics ya might have to. Thanks!

I don't know much about their lifts, but I do know I have never heard anything bad about them. You can never go wrong with full packs anyway

Well, I've been hearing the coils sag, but that seems to be heresay. Everyone I talk to who owns a kit, seems happy with it. I looked at some 3 inch kits with replacement springs from other companies, but I just wanted small lift with 30s or so for winter and some minor off road. If I lift it too high, I have a tendency to think im Superman. All the bruises and broken parts on my old YJ prove that... But it does make for good video... Lol

If the coils sag, just slap some 1 inch spacers on there for like 40 bucks
