I wouldnt give them a penny of my money.

Their website is full of bogus claims, knocking other products which have proven themselves to work awesome(such as longarms). Shipping and customer service is terrible (as i found out first hand), and i know for a fact one of their " 2 inch lifted rigs" is an old jeepforum members 3" lifted rig, they just found the picture and used it as their own.

Just some shady business practices going on there.

Wait, just to clarify KTM your talking about the site or the product?
OME stuff is good though I thought? (if not a bit pricey)

The site. OME has quality products without a doubt. Just not a company you want to order from

Ok, it will be a daily driver, i really want 4.5" lift. It will be 90% daily driver, 10% moderate crawling. Just trying to find a kit that will ride nice but not break the bank.

I hope they've cleaned up since you first heard this.
I just paypaled $900 to them for the springs and a few other things.
