I'm only finding 1.5" - 2.5" lift kits from OME. Is there a reason they don't make a bigger lift?

i think its because they are based in Australia where legally they can't lift over 2.5" (at least i think thats the case). so they just don't bother making above that height and instead make some awesome smaller lift kits.

they do make them taller, I seen 4" + for Rubicons. Old Man Emu isn't regarded as a lift kit. But more as Old Man Emu Suspension System. Also look under ARBS. They are worth the money.

Try DPG Off Road, that is where I am getting my OME lift.

I am going with this one: http://dpgoffroad.com/products/22-5-...-hybrid-kit-2/

But if you wanna go higher you can go with this: http://dpgoffroad.com/products/44-5-...mu-hybrid-kit/

So they do make 3" suspension springs. I'm more or less interested in a piece together kit. Trying to save money, and negate the use of an SYE.

Rocky road makes high quality good parts, its their customer service that sucks. I'll admit they are hard to deal with, out of the 8 companies i called for free stickers they were the only one to demand my product key.
