Default Lift help

So I have been looking around everywhere for a great lift. I finally decided that i wanna be around 2 inches but I want it to ride just as well if not better than stock. I came across this OME lift :

http://www.quadratec.com/products/76090_80X_PG.htm

i heard these are pretty much the best when it comes to ride quality, and nothing but good things came up when i searched about it. but it is a pretty expensive kit and was wondering if its really worth it.

thanks

OME makes some great products,but there expensive and after inchitis sets in you will want to go higher and you won't be able to recoupe your investment. for a 2" lift i would just purchase some 2" tera flex coil spacers for the front and a set of OME AAL's and 1" lift shackles for the rear.the OME AAL's only add 1" of lift with no harsh ride and are quality leafs.with a 2" lift shocks are optional,since stock will work fine.

this is my DD and unfortunately I doubt it will see off road time alot so I would be on road probably 95% of the time. plus I do not want to go any higher than 2 inches. im looking for ride quality, not height and I heard this is the lift if you want that. and as you said it is a pretty penny. so I just want to make sure its worth it.

I installed skyjacker's 2" lift with is shackles & coil spacers I think I paid $170, I also replaced shocks at same time. Shocks are monroe sensa track in front, rear I did monroe HD shocks w/ helper springs. I got 1 3/4" lift in front 2 1/4" rear, no settling yet - ride is very nice- my tires are 235\75 15 and jeep looks good. Shocks I got online $130 for all 4.
