Yup. You might consider the light duty leafs if you don't really ever have plans of adding weight to the back, but I think they're a little more costly. If you do your research on this sight, you won't find many complaints about the OME springs, their ride is considered among the best. They just don't offer springs with large amounts of lift, which is probably why they don't get talked about as much as RC and RE as spring options.

For those of you interested in running 33s on a smaller lift. My 31s ran out of life so I just got a set of 33x10.5x15 BFGoodrich KM2s mounted on stock rims. I am running about 3.75" of lift and they fit great. I anticipated having to trim a little but they fit better than I expected! My plan is to raise the stock fender flares about 2" and do the standard wheel well trim front and rear. I am going wheeling this weekend, I am still on the fence fence about getting 1.5" wheel spacers. As a side note I do have a set of crager soft 8s but for whatever reason on this build I want to stick with the stock aloy rim.

3" coils in front with 2" leafs in back will probably sit about level.

If not, I'd venture to say that your rear fender flares aren't going to come home on the side of the Jeep.
Stance looks great tho.

I've got a few questions I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me with. I'm pretty new to the lifting thing. Right now I'm running 235/75/15 on stock rims and height. This is my dd and I'm not looking to do anything hardcore offroading but I do wanna get her dirty sometimes and leave the paved road behind every now and again. I've been doing some research and I'm torn between 3" to 4.5" lift. I'm curious though, if I got over 3" is there anything I need to do in terms of trac bar, pitman arm, etc? I'm looking to try and achieve this kinda look in terms of lift height and tire size that is in this pic. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated! :P

No necessary drive line modifications
Over 3" is when you start to comonly run into problems.
