Yes, it is my fault, but I've been trying to be good, really I am.

Hey, we drive CJs, of course the ADD will take over, that's why we have so much fun on the trails...... squirrel!
I have been in jeeps for some time, and like everyone, I look for a "more comfy" ride. After a lot of searching, I think the OME with the YJ springs may be the way to go? JR74 How do you like those YJ springs? any issues?

Love them. Thats the short answer. Longer answer was they didn't give me the "lift" i was expecting, though part of that was my own fault for not knowing how much lift i already had

You need a sway bar for the front with these springs, they are very flexible!

Much softer ride.

Install is pretty intense, but do-able.

They seem to be losing some of their arc these days, but i havent fully verified that.

The ride difference is great though.

Did you go 2.5 or 4? How long ago?

With the OME springs I think all that was available in YJ type (at least from where i bought the "kit") was the 2.5" springs, it was a 3" to 3.5" lift "kit" but think springs were only 2". Need to double check that.

You could do the spring over kit though.

Was Jan 2014 when i installed them.

I've had my eye on that kit for awhile. I'm between OME and Alcan. Thanks for the info. I appreciate it.
