Nice ride!!! Goodyears look nice, did you have to level the front due to the factory rake, or did the springs take care of that. Also how is the sag now that you've had it for a while?

I have the OME heavy Dutys and Ranchos, did a small clevis in the front and it sits level even with the ARB hanging out there, ride is great would never ever go with anything else.

nothing special as far as rake just OME springs and rancho struts
looks perfect ,just a very small rake to the front after 10K or so
and a few wheelin trips

if I had any sag it was less than 1/4"

I just had medium OME springs put on a couple of weeks ago, I love them, the ride is 10 times better than stock. Front struts are Rancho and back shocks are OME. The tires are Revo's 16x70x235

Good looking ride, I like the lift!!! That's what I'm talking about!!!! What differences have you noticed in the handling and ride performance and are you going to get 75's or do you like the 70's.

I just got the 70's before I decided to get the lift so I'll keep them for a good while. 75's would be nice but it doesn't look too strange with the 70's.
We got 8" of snow last weekend and the revos and lift were great.
On RR crossings and speed bumps i used to almost stop for, now 10 mph is no problem, the bumps really smoothed out. As far as handling, the same if not better than stock and towing my duck boat last weekend, the KJ didn't squat like it used to.

Any problem with the upper control arms. I'm almost sure the springs don't hit w/ the OME lift, looking for your opinion.
