If you go with OME, my research led me to use the heavy duty springs out back. If you do, put the .5 spacer in with the front springs. Mine sets a little ass high and I'll get a light rub under full compression in the RF. I am planning to start using a reciever basket out back for gear once I get my hunting dog that will need to kennel in the back. I will likely add a roof rack or at very least a full size spare so it still may even out some. The chassis balance is very good hauling ass in the loose dirt off road. It absorbs the bumps really well.
The rear brake hose was under a little pressure, I bent the mounting bracket a touch to give it some slack. With a 3" kit, you will need to replace the hose. I like the fact the kit comes with a cross member spacer to correct the driveline angles.
It's hard to swallow the cost on a 4000 jeep but I'd do it again as I feel it's well engineered.

Thanks for the info. I hear you on the lift price on a 4000 Jeep, but the more I read, the more OME sounds superior. I may just pop for it. If I spend half that and am not happy, then what's the point in doing the lift at all?
Did you need to do a transfer case drop or is that what you mean by the cross member spacer? What about their steering stabilizer? Also, are you running an adjustable track bar?
And this video pretty much sealed the deal for me on OME.
