What for?

Not having a dig, but having not experience the nine levels of adjustable ride i'm still pretty happy with the way the OME stuff rides. Surely its just another thing that can go wrong?

Can I ask why you have narrowed it down to either of the brands mentioned? As for OME being Australian you may find its only the design is Aust and is manufactered offshore, correct me if I am wrong?

I have the EFS kit, the AEV one looks to be the most comprehensive I have seen from JeepKonnection, Rubicon Express from Wooders, Superlift from Ozadventure4x4, TJM does a lift.

Are you after max lift for the price, max articulation, a balance between both?

I am not Knocking your desicion of the two you have narrowed it down too but would be interested to know?

OME is made by Monroe but to ARB's specifications. I can not comment on where they are made though.

I am very happy with my OME setup

the benefit of it being adjustable you can dial in your ride depending on your driving conditions. eg. if you are towing you have the ability to stiffen the ride and same applies if you have no load you can soften them up for a more comfortable ride

I have a AEV front bar and winch JK UL CRD.....So I have OME heavy front & medium rear springs and I am somewhat disapointed. Sure it's great to get a 3 to 4 inch lift with the 2 inch lift kit for $1k, but I now I need adjustable Pan Hard Rods to centre the Diffs 3/4inch(about). Yes, I have fitted the rear bracket extension.

Also my jeep also leans at a slight angle towards the drivers side, I checked the old original springs and they appear to be different from left to right side which probably compensates for the fuel tank and driver on the right side. Correct me if I am wrong but I cant remeber any difference between the left and right OME springs. Also with the body sitting over to that side anyhow, the panhard rods might help correct that as well. Don't like bagging anything but it seems there was not much thought put into these kits......Please tell me other people have this problem as well.

Anyhow the good news is the minister of finance has given the go ahead to buy the required parts after the Thialand trip in June. A week without my Jeep......... I will have to hire one over there.
