Price: $827.99 Pros: made in USA, smooth ride, looks good Cons: a few issues installing the coil springs (bump stops in the way, springs are really hard to compress so they fit) Recommended? Yes
Comments: A great kit, gave me the lift i needed for my 31" tires, plus a smooth ride, and it loos pretty nice as well. Shocks are sturdy and well built, the kit is a little pricy though. Purchased from Quadratec, Made in USA. Only issues we had while installig it were that we had to lift the jeep up pretty high with the jack and jack stands so the axles would drop low enough for the coil springs; we had to use some clamps to compress the springs so they would go on. Not a major issue though, everything else went on easily in about an hour. All in all, Great quality, looks, and a nice ride for the price.

Price: $1,200.00 Pros: NICE ride for everyday! Makes the Jeep better off-road too, of course. Cons: None I've encountered yet. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Tried another brand but it was too stiff, about bounced off a road just because of washboard surface. We don't intentionally go rock crawling so don't need a big lift. The OME lift fits our needs and stretches our off-road limits but can still be driven everyday in town. In town driving is every bit as good as the OEM suspension. Looks good, too!

Price: $775.00 Pros: Nice lift looks great. Cons: Could be more comfortable and handle the bumps better. Recommended? Yes
Comments: Not as comfortable and durable as I was expecting. It's still a pretty rough ride. I was not impressed with the fact that my new coils were chipped up in the box either.

Price: $700.00 Pros: durable, full kit, easy install Cons: none really Recommended? Yes
Comments: Excellent lift kit - gives the WK nice bold stance, got about 3.5 in front 2.5 rear.. gives about 1'' additional articulation. The cream of the crop for WK folks, my only regret is ill have about 150 lbs of skids and gear bolted to this thing, should have gone with the HD. But it rides amazing and it preforms above expectation offroad. An excellent product.

Price: $1,420.00 Pros: Improved stability, firm suspension. Cons: Expensive Recommended? Yes
Comments: OME say 2" lift, when i measured it, it was 3-3½".
The original WK suspension is way too soft for me, with the OME lift it completely changed my Jeep. Now its firm and a joy to drive.

Price: $715.00 Pros: nice complete kit Cons: expected more down ward travel Recommended? Yes
Comments: I got the medium duty springs. I was expecting them to be a little bit stiffer but I think it will keep the wife happy for now. It raised the front 2.5 in in the front and 2 in in the back. I measured the down ward travel in the front and it was only 1 inch more than stock. I was expecting 2 inches. There is plenty of threads left on the shock but you need to tighten all the way or you will get clunking in the front.

Price: $900.00 Pros: Fantastic articulation and great ride both on and off road Cons: no upper or lower control arms come with the kit. Rather expensive for what you get, but it is very well made. Recommended? Yes
Comments: I purchased the OME ZJ/LJ springs with OME shocks. The kit is very well made and installation is fairly easy. For best results, I recommend using a JKS adjustable trac bar and JKS quick disconnects.
I also recommend using sway bar collars to prevent the sway bar from shifting from side to side, which appears to be a common issue with lifted TJ’s

Price: $800.00 Pros: Good ride (light duty), quality system, lives up to its reputation, flexes well Cons: Light duty not quite 2", less when skid plates are added Recommended? Yes
Comments: Not realizing there were multiple versions of the kit available, the shop I worked with ordered the light duty kit. For a stock Jeep it's ideal, but I have many skids and need some additional stiffness. Suspension rides as good as new Jeep did. Quality system.

Price: $800.00 Pros: Once I had them installed I found the ride was softer then most other lift kits. This lift kit was made to fit specific years of Jeep Cherokee. I like the look of the ride now, its taller and allows for a better response. Cons: Unfortunately the warranty on the shocks is ONLY for 2 years. I found the overall cost of the system very expensive and not always winter friendly. The first year that I had the system installed the rubber in the suspension squeaked loudly and just annoyed the hell out of me!! Recommended? No

Price: $630.00 Pros: Lifted higher than advertised. Ride is firm but still comfortable. Cons: None discovered so far. Recommended? Yes
Comments: This product (I installed the Heavy Duty spring rate) came with 4 nitro-charged shocks and 4 springs. The kit installed very easily and actually provided a 3.5" lift. Ride quality is firm but sure-footed and provided plenty of clearance to make way for the 35" tires that followed. No rubbing issues whatsoever, however I have not had the Jeep at full flex since install.

Old Man Emu OME 2
Price: $1,400.00 Pros: Soft ride and "proven" Quality Cons: None so far..... Recommended? Yes
Comments: New Updates:
The OME front spring (616) netted a 3 inch lift and the rear (617) gave me a 2 inch lift.. Jeep leveled out perfectly. The NitroChargers are very solid and smooth working.
I also had the JKS rear track bar brace welded on the RA tube.
The ride still gave me some "wandering" at lower speeds..
Got the a BDS HD SS and Teraflex adjustable front lower CA and now all is "perfect". (Caster back to OEM spec) Because of same OEM size tires and rims the scrub radius hasn't been changed at all...(DW contributor)
Because of my knees I cannot do these kind of mods myself anymore..Had it all done by "Unlimited Offroad Centers" out of Fenton, MI.. These guys know their stuff...
