After just two and a half years our OME coils are done!
We need some 790's up front and some new rear springs as well.
Truck still handles really well on high speed gravel but off road it's needs a fresh lift!
Thinking of upgrading to "My Ride" shocks as well.

I posted this in another topic but I will put it here as well
any thought to a true coilover
They come in many lengths and can be "built to spec"
Even shock valving can be customized
They are all eye to eye so adapters would need to be built
but that is easy and cheep

Im looking into an EMU lift, but 2.5 years hardly seems worth the investment. Any idea why they went so soon?

depends on miles and how you treat them and where you go
I ran a set for 100,000 miles yes they sagged some but not nearly as much as stockers ha ha
Current setup I have 50,000 on and haven't sagged but maybe 1/8 of an inch
I wouldn't worry about age/mileage

OME suspension is totally worth the money.
As I mentioned our Rig still handles excellently.
It's just that our KJ lost some of its lift.
As it sits we still have 3+ inches of lift, we just want the 4.25+ inches of lift when it was new. If that means I need to replace the coils and shocks after two and a half year then so be it.
Why has our suspension settled so much you ask?
We use our Liberty allot off road. That and we carry an extensive amount of recovery and camping equipment with us into the back country.
For the average Joe the suspension won't go through the hell we put it through!

The problem is making them a bolt on mod since you have the front CV axles to contend with.
