It's Old Man Emu and comes with everything I need ( leafs, coils, shocks, quick disco's, bumps stops, track bar and a couple of other things. I believe OME is top of the line especially for ride quality which I'm looking for. I have heard nothing but great reviews about it. I have heard mixed reviews on the zone lift but I definitely think they're a lot better than RC or Rusty's. I might go 31's if I decide to trim but not sure yet.
What kind of shocks are they. Standard white body?

Newbie information wanted
Hey everyone, this is an awesome site and ive been wheeling since last summer and just bought a new 94 XJ. Im looking to install a 4.5"lift myself but not sure where to even start. Could anyone provide a good link that would have step by step info I could utilize?

I installed the Old Man Emu (OME) kit from DPG on my kids Cherokee. The ride quality great. She uses it as a daily driver to compute to college, i wanted to replace the stock sagging springs with something safer, If i had to do it all over again id pick the same lift from same company.....oh, i did. Just lifted my LJ with an OME kit from DPG.
Someone asked about the shocks...DPG uses Old Man Emu nitrogen shocks for the kits they put together.
Only other kit i have personally ever used was SkyJacker for a YJ, and im much happier with OME stuff.

I have the 3.5 inch ultimate OME hybrid kit from DPG. I have to say the leafs are a little short so while the ride is good it could be better with SRB or leaf sliders.

Long arms at 3" is not really a great idea. You'll have issues with the arms hitting the "frame" on up travel

Adjustable control arms. Got pictures of your articulation? Your axle won't wrap under the body with the stock control arm configuration. That's impossible. Your lcas will hit the shock bracket, and that's as much flex as you're going to get.

at 3" i'd stick with adjustable short arms. True long arms extend back too far at 3" and will hit the frame on compression.

I'm working my way up to 33s with the same lift bump stopped with longer shocks and break lines and then hope fully better control arms and a no lift shackle relocation.
