Weird... I have a 4 inch OME lift on my xj. If you look on google and type in ome lift kits for cherokee you will see right away they offer more then 3 inches of lift.Originally Posted by sam24th
OME ftw. Their springs are top notch. I have them on my toyota and they ride great. I wish my jeep had an OME kit on it to be honest although their lift kits stops at 3inches of lift.

I should have clarified I guess. Their springs stop at a 3 inch lift or 3.5 for the HD ones. The rest of the lift kit is achieved using a shackle in the rear, and a small spacer if you get the 5inch lift. You can also achieve the same thing by putting a OME AAL in an OME leaf pack. Some of the yota guys do that, but the ride becomes harsher.Originally Posted by 1998redxj

Just installed the OME 3" medium duty springs today. I have a 1.5" lift shackle to give me 4.5"
Well you tell me. LOL

Yes I know I need to do the front.
I'm putting in 4.5" springs but with a control arm drop kit and an adjustable drag bar and drop pitman arm.
Will start tomorrow during the expected snow storm.
As long as the heater in my shed is working I'll be fine.

You can not compare the duratracs to KM2's they are to different breeds of tire all terrain vs mud terrain. Your best option would be see what tires work the best on he trials around you. I was looking at mtr and km2's for my Xj and the km2 was the favored tire in my area. I am glad with my decision they are the best all around mud tire I've ever ran.

I can say OME is the best of the best if you want a reasonable daily driver height.
I did all the reasearch
I used the 2" HD leafs and springs along with a Teraflex BB kit.
Totaling 3.5-4" of lift. Went with bilsteins and it rides great!
Just dont forget stuff like degree shims, it will help reduce drivetrain vibs
here it is on 31s


if you opt for the heavy duty leafs they really dont flex like the standard duty leafs.

I've been running OME for 7 years up here. Enufff said
The best thing is that it provides a good platform build off of if/when you want to go higher meaning you can use all of the parts springs/coils.

All we get is snow and crappy roads.
Most of my driving will be back and forth to work.
