I have a 4" ome kit... Well worth every penny. Love the ride, trail performance is amazing. I don't know anyone else that gets the flex I do with a short arm lift kit. I just did slick rock with my set up... Very impressed. It crawled over everything with ease.

No different then installing any other kit. Shouldn't be to bad with the right tools of course.
OME is VERY top notch stuff. If you aren't planning to go crazy wheeling and are wanting something more for a daily driver and weekend warrior, I would say fork over the money for the OME kit. The nice thing about this kit, is you could always build off of it as well. Toss in some spacers on the coils and shackle for the rear and get closer to 4" down the road. You can seriously feel the ride difference of a OME kit compared to others.

IIRC Ron at Jeepin Outfitters, a vendor on here has done some custom rear set ups. One thing I would advise though, don't use extended shackles on the rear springs. They don't like it. Get what you want the first time.

Do you have a link for this? What else did you have to upgrade with this kit?
