OME Suspension

[Jose]

Wife surprised me yesterday at Havoc Offroad. She said she wanted to see what the store has and when we walked through the door the guys hands me a paper and say your appointment to install your lift is Jan 16th looking forward to seeing you. [emoji15][emoji15][emoji41][emoji41]. I was like whaaaaaattttt! Now I need to get me the tires thinking about the BFG KO2s A/T 35x12.50x17 and since I'm moving back up to Nashville Tn and I'm looking for an all around good tire that will work for snow, trails,rocks, and mud.

As a matter a fact I just received the lift kit today. It's the 2.5"-.3.5" Old Man Emu HD lift kit. I also added F/R Tera Flex Monster track bars, disconnect links, and rear track bar relocation bracket. I got the 2619 Front coils, and 2620 rears HD cause of the Gobie Roof Rack and storage that I will be building in the rear of the Jeep. Going to try and install it in the next couple of weeks.

Did you look at the brake line relocation brackets at all? I added them, but I'm not sure if they're really needed or not. I notice the rear lines are squished closer together. I just worried about full flex, that's the reason I added them. How do you like yours so far?

I run an HD system on my TJ due to its obesity for TJ standards. Incredible suspension and pretty comfortable. My lift was around 2.5" total

Sorry for the late response actbrad. But yea the suspension is awesome and yes I added the brake relocation brackets front and rear but haven't tested the flexibility on the Jeep jet. I'm going this weekend to Ocala National forest to track some trails and I'll be able to give you some better info on that later on after this weekend. Here are some pic of my front and rear brake lines and the relocations brackets. Sorry but don't under stand what you mean by squished closer together. Hope the pictures help you out.

Thanks for posting the pics. I can't seem to be able to. But yours look exactly like mine. Makes me feel better. They just look like they are bent a lot more than stock (shaped like a really stiff U) and I just didn't want to run into problems later. I made sure they weren't rubbing on the back shocks though just by bending the top line out a little. Again, thanks. I wasn't sure if I was overkilling it with them. I really like the ride. My wife is going to go with the sport suspension instead of the hd. So it will be nice to compare. She's not running the rack and all the extras.

When you want to get a little more crazy. Go BP-51 shocks from old man emu. I have 2 friends with JKU's one has the Bp's and one has Icon stage 5. The Bp's ride nicer on and off road in my opinion. And it's like half the price as Icon for bypass shocks.

I looked at those, but just couldn't get myself to spend that much. I hear they're awesome

I liked the ride so much I bought them for my Tacoma.

Those BP-51 Shocks are actually my next purchase along with the adjustable OME link arms. [emoji106][emoji106]
