Than decided it was time for some lift. Contemplated getting RE 3.5" Superflex kit. Ended up getting 2" OME medium duty. Found a cheap set of BFG Mud Terrains on Craigslist
Soon:
*Trim and TJ flares
*JKS Discos
*Flowmaster Catback
*Herc interior and bottom lower portion of the exterior
*Gas tank skid and TC skid
*Surco rack
Future:
*8.8 swap
*Regear to 4.56 or 4.88 and lockers
*33's or ?
*Bumpers (Warn maybe?)
Hey, how much lift did the OME kit give you in the back? I will probably buy some HD OME leaf springs and coil spacers to make my 2" lift. (shocks in the mail)
Haha sounds like a good plan. I'm going to most likely wait till spring to do my trimming that way I can do some more rust repair while I'm at it :thumbsup:
Good looking rig! I'm just getting going on mine too. I've had it for a while as a driver while I build my mustang into an 800 rwhp & 700+ torque street legal drag monster. Now I am moving to this project and will be on the look out for a new driver if this gets to be more toy than transport
I'm starting small with a 3.5 Rub. exp. lift and will have a similar build thread if I can get enough posts to allow photos

How much did the OME set you back and where did you get it from? Would you recommend the medium or heavy duty? I have heard the OME lift is better than stock on road. What is your opinion?

If I remember correctly the kit cost me about 850 from Quadratec. I went with the medium duty because I usually don't have any kind of extra weight in the rig. If you haul any sort of substantial weight in the Jeep or tow with it, I'd go with the heavy duty :thumbsup:
The on road characteristics of mine are better than it was when it was stock. Nowhere near as much body roll. It just feels more stable overall, the shocks are great. It does ride rather stiff though, but I think it's a great kit
nice looking rig! i have very similar plans for mine, except i'm probly going with a junkyard lift. i wish i could get an OME kitfor my 93 but OME doesnt import kits for jeeps here in venezuela only for toyota an nissan and such... anyhoo, nice work!
Rims were around $200. Hooks were $75. Hitch was $200 (had it installed) Lift was $850 IIRC. Tires were used off Craigslist for $375. Baja lights were $25 at walmart.
The paint that is recommended is Krylon Fusion satin black :thumbsup:
Flare duct taped back together. Managed to run it over It's held on to the bracket with a zip tie and a wood screw at the moment. Nice!
Ouch. Primered up waiting for paint :cheers: Not fun when it's about 5*. I had to dry the paint with a hair dryer
Oh yeah! Had Christmas lights on it, running through an inverter.
So that's all for now. The job is starting up in January, so more mods should follow. Next up is exhaust (FM 40), then gas tank and TC skids (Tomken and Warn respectively), and then the Surco rack and CB.
There definitely is! That's a sharp 88 you have there sir :cheers2:
