Where is the ome kit for 750$? I've only seen 900+?

Have to shop around a bit
Full OME kit at JBA is 835, 4 shocks / 4 springs

or OME 927s / 948s 334.00
front Bilstein shocks 208.00
rear bilstein shocks 208.00
Tearflex bumpstops 46.00
4 hockey pucks 8.00 maybe ( for rear bumpstops )
2.5 inches of lift

prices have went up a bit since my last order for a customer but now 796.00
OME shocks / teraflex from jeepinbyal
shocks are 208.00 for two from shockwarehouse ( rears for a 99-04 Dakota clubcab 4x4 )
front shocks from JBA 212.00
rear ( couple different available)
one at 150.00 for two
another 176.00 for two

so using all JBA you could get in at 742
DAH DAAAAA
in under 750

Now if I could get paid for everytime I have figured and posted various ones , I could buy me a brand new Jeep Searching for others doesn't pay well ! :happy175:

When we lifted ours, the priority was to get a normal/common truck tire on there. 245/75R16 was the easiest. Fits on stock wheels without much lifting.



That's a direct copy of the Teraflex I put in. Good value IMO. It does need corrected upper arms though. Been on the Liberty for 5 years and ~80,000km. I did a few extra tweaks myself to make it an extra ~1" taller.

Like I said said many times you are one out of a million, or zillion cause most have issues with in a few months some few weeks I have never heard of anyone going that long with a spacer lift and actually lived to tell about it

Now 600! jk, thanks for posting that. I might be able to stomach 750 even though it's a bit of a stretch on what i'd like to spend.

My first lift on the 04 KJ took me a couple of months to get everything. Bought front springs one pay, couple of shocks next pay etc. But I knew I wasn't going to be satisfied with just lifted wanted good ride and handling as well so it was worth the wait.
On the 03 I knew I'd find a KJ somewhere that met my criteria so before I even bought one started sending Marlin money, sold some Harley parts and finally got it paid off . But again knew the only lift that would satisfy me was the coilover so worth doing whatever to get it.
Worth it to do it right !

It is, still wouldn't do it or ever install one for anyone but somehow it seems yours is holding together.
I mean the guy I bought the ARB off of didn't make it over a year and less than 16000 miles before he gave up .
