I have a 2003 wj with 170... On it, new stabilizer and front tie rod. Runs amazingly.. But my question is, is it worth buying this loft for 715 plus tires and wheels with the jeep being this old?? And also how well does the old man kit handle?? I'm looking to get at least a 285/70/16,under her, this possible?

170k is nothing if you take care of her. Can't comment on the lift though, sorry. The OME kits are rumored to be damn good quality though.

If you are planning on running the Rocky Road Outfitters 3.5" OME "Trailblazer" kit, I would recommend you do some research into the integrity of the company and the likelihood that you will receive your product. There are hundreds (or more) negative reviews for this company.

I have this kit under my rig and I love it. It's worth every penny. People are going to tell you all different things about what size tire you can shove underneath. It was recommended to me when my lift was installed that 285 was too big without a lot of trimming/cutting. I went with a 265/75/16 and still had to trim the front fender.

That looks perfect, where did you purchase it from?? Also what tires are those

[aleet25]

I got mine from 4 Wheel Parts. The tires are 265/75/R16 ProComp Extreme Mud Terrains.

Go with the HD Springs. It's well worth the money.

I have Old Man Emu products at excellent prices - PM me if you want a set of springs. They are the best springs on the market in terms of ride, handling, and longevity. I have customers going back over 10 years with the same set of springs from OME and they haven't sagged one bit.

OME springs are also exceptional for cargo load capacity so if you do any towing or carry heavy cargo, you'll appreciate their springs even more.

That looks great! How tall of a spacer does it have on top of the ome springs?

I have Old Man Emu springs on my WJ purchased from Kolak above . They ride great. The WJ handles very well. If I had too do it again , it would be the same way.

I have 2" spacers on them.
