OK I HAVE LOOKED AT MANY LIFT KITS AND I JUST WANT MORE INFO. I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS THING WORKS GOOD BECAUSE IT IS MY DAILY DRIVER AND I CANT BE GOING AROUND WITH SOME STINKY RIDE. OK I HAVE LOOKED AT DOING A LIFT INVOLVING THESE COMPONENTS:
2 front OME coil springs - #OME 930
2 front TeraFlex coil spacers - 2" spacers #SSTXZ, part of #BB1X
2 complete OME rear leaf springs - #JC1B
2 greasable rear TeraFlex shackles - 6.5" shackles #RSX, part of #BB1X
4 OME Nitrocharger shock absorbers
#N35 front (15.25" min - 23.75" max)
#N36 rear (13.50" min - 22.25" max)
4 new OME U-bolts for rear leafs - #OME U57
2 OE large leaf spring bushings
2 OE small leaf spring bushings

IT LOOKS PRETTY GOOD. ISAW IT ON A SITE AND IT REALLY GRABBED MY ATTENTION. SO DOES ANYONE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH OLD MAN EMU LIFTS? ARE THEY ANY GOOD? PLEASE GIVE YOUR IMPUT AND IF YOU NEED MORE INFO FOR A DECISION GO TO THIS SITE:

4 OME Nitrocharger shock absorbers these things rock I have them and love them.
They are about the best cross platform shock I think one could buy right now.
One of my bodys had the ome coil springs and digs them alot
I haven't any feedback on the ome leafs but ome has a very well developed product line. So I don't think they would cheepshot there leafs. spacers are spacers I've never heard anyone say they have had many or any problems with them and if you do just replace them there pretty cheep.

as for the teraflex shackles I'm not heard much on those really.
As for a whole lift by OME I would be willing to give it a shot how much have they qouted you for that lift. I know OME stuff can be a bit more costly but I think they put more research and quality into there product.
I would be willing to give there lift a shot next time. Heck I might buy that one for the womans xj

there stuff has come down in price still kinda on the high end still but like I say they have really nice stuff. Dirk with dpg has good deals on the coils and shocks I got mine for dirt cheap.
