[QUOTE="ejschultz, post: 7685361, member: 603800"] From what I've heard, you'll have a factory like ride with about 2" of lift. OME springs are pretty top notch. I'm riding like a dump truck, more or less. I'm going to blame the short arms, springs, and shocks for that one. I would have went with Blisteins, but they're notoriously shorter than most shocks, limiting flex. Most "good riding" shocks are a little shorter. I can't complain though. I knew that going to a little over 4" on short arms would do that. my front lowers meet the unibody at almost a 45 degree angle. The body is taking a lot of the impact from bumps rather than the suspension. My next step, a few years down the road, is going to be front long arms. It's not as crucial to get long arms in the rear, but I may eventually upgrade there as well. I'll probably look into IRO for the front long arms and Clayton for the rears. It seems to be the best mix out there. IRO is pretty unbeatable on their front LAs and the Claytons get great reviews for ZJs. The flex I had there was pretty much my maximum with my front discoed.
