I have OME on my 4.5 re superflex kit and love them. I drive over 30 miles a day so they handle great on the road and have yet to be limited on the trail with them.

Sweet ride Silverxj. I can't say I've ever seen a Cherokee prerunner before. That looks like alot of fun. Have you ever jumped it? got a pic?

Thanks 2000XJ and Jdogg, you had to suggest the expensive ones eh. I guess you really have to pay to play. OME it is then.

I dont know Jason, I dont know what the differance is between them. I just was going to get it because i only wheel once a week and i drive 80 miles a day. pluss the super ride is cheaper.

Once a week... man, I'm lucky to get out once a month.

Run a search, there's a been a couple of threads on here in the last two weeks about the SR vs SF kits. In a nutshell, the only differences are the lower arms, swaybar disconnects, and front bumpstop pucks. Both kits will use the same springs and shocks.

Considering you rig is a '92, I'd recommend the kits with the new rear leafs, and when you compare the 6030 SF kit against the 6025 SR kit, there's only like $40-$50 difference in price, and you get better stuff in the SF kit.

Maybe I will go with the superflex kit, because i was going to get some swaybar disconnects anyway. Jason where are you looking, on the RE website the dif between the 6025 and the 6030 is $110. Would it really give me more flex than the super ride kit? How offtain do the bushings have to be replaced or whatever with the superflex kit?
