I have done a lot of research and talked to a lot of people here on the forum and they swear by the Old Man Emu 2.5" (really 3" lift kit). Mine arrived at Broken Axel last Friday and will be installed asap...

You're going from a spacer to a 6.5 inch? You do know that a 3 inch lift will clear 35's easily on a JK, right?

If you give us an idea of what size tires you want to run and what you want to do with your Jeep, we will be able to provide a lot more in the way of helpful information.

Which ever kit you decide to go with I don't charge you shipping or duty on OME or the BDS kits.

There are NO HIDDEN FEES when you come to pick up your parts
(or after they are installed).  What you are quoted is what you pay!

If there are any questions, pm or call me!

Thanks
Dave

I second Shaun on this one. I have the OME on my grand and I am very happy with it. Save yourself the money and headaches and do it right the first time.

+ another 1 for the OME. I'm running the OME setup with LT shocks and HD springs. Flexes ridonkulously for a short arm 3 inch lift.

AEV 4.5" Premium kit from Stan at Northridge perfect amount of lift for 37". Easy install and rides great. I think that you will have to ask yourself an honest question as to how much offroad use and highway use your Jeep will see. I had a 6" Full Traction lift on my XJ it flexed great offroad but sucked driving on the street. A member in our club up here had a JK with the BDS lift and it rode like crap also but was good offroad. I think with the OME and I know the AEV lift fit my bill of 75% street and 25% offroad. Just wanted to give my 2 cents.
