OK, need opinions please.
Leaf springs are shot, I have waiting in a pile 2 1/4 spacers and red rubicon shocks for the front and rear. Don't know if I want to go 3 1/2" overall lift as it is hard for my wife to get in and out now but I want to lift some as I replace the shot stock leaf springs. Long term I only want a total of 3 1/2" until I get a different DD which will at least be 1-2 years out.
I have come down to ZONE through the boards or a 2 1/2 OME from a dealer [mainly been looking on Morris 4x4 from a google search].
I know OME is good stuff, not knowlegdeable about ZONE [or much else with this XJ] but looking for thoughts.
OME vs ZONE
if OME were do I buy?
Need to do something now, headlights are pointing off into the horizon.
Ready to order in the next day or two.
Lastly, anywhere around B'More area that can install as I am still dealing with a spinal fusion recovery? Looking for reliable and reasonable.
Thanks, I know this isn't a question thread but you all seem to know a lot bout your XJs and always have opinions for each other...whether that are asked for or not.

I've got the OME kit from Dirk at DPG. Expensive for the whole system but if your just looking to get rear leafs then look at Quadratec. There are pictures of my Jeep in my profile and the part number of herald springs are listed in the garage area under my profile. After the springs settled it sits 3.2 inches higher than stock.
