OME or Ironman Shocks?

[Simon R]

I'm going to be fitting a 2" lift kit in next couple of weeks, but am finding it hard to choose which lift kit package to go for. Have narrowed it down to Ironman $1320 fitted or OME $1550 fitted, surprisingly not a huge difference in price but $200 is still a lot of beer!
Does anybody have any recent recomendations/experance with both or either of these choices?
Have looked at a few sites and some rave about and others bag both, so what is best for a Cherokee?
Cheers, Simon

OME, but buy it from Quadratec and do it yourself

Dont use Iron Man, When i bought our patrol the previous owner fitted a iron man 2" lift.. within 3months of owning it the SWB sagged back to stock and the rear shocks started to squeel not long after.

I run OME and its been great for many years now..

I used Iron Man, got the kit for about $700 and fitted it myself. Drivers side has sagged about an inch and a half than passengers side at the back and I don't carry a spare tyre. Front springs are too firm and don't flex much off road, if you have to choose between the two then get OME. If I was going to do it again I'd get the Rubicon Express 3.5" SuperFlex from wooders.

Forgot to say it has been on for about a year now, drivers side is sitting about 1/2" over stock sport at the back and about 1" over stock sport at the front.

OME here on mine and have been very happy and trouble free. In saying that, i wish i had gone bigger

As TIMS JEEP said, go the rubicon 3.5 or even higher still. ive had an ironman 2" for bout 6mnths now with no probs... go higher, u wont regret it like i do now!!
i think approx goin bout 3.5"-4" u can get away not having to do SYE. depending on what u wanna do with urs applies as well.

I bought a 2" Iron Man lift kit for $950 and installed it myself. As others say they are much stiffer and sagged after a short while but spacers fixed the sag (see gojeep). My advice is go the OME or better if you have the spare cash especially if you carry delicate passengers.
