OME 883 Level Lift vs. OME 3" Medium Lift

I was surfing through pictures this morning and decided to compare pictures of an OME lifted Voodoo FJ with pictures of my truck (Titanium) with the OME 883 level lift. I realize there is a difference, but I am not convinced that there is a cosmetic difference that warrants the cost of the full OME lift.

I realize that there is a performance/ride quality difference between systems, but I am not impressed with the cosmetic differences. I have wheeled numerous times with my 883's and I think they do a great job.

Tell me your thoughts as I am on the fence concerning a future suspension upgrade.......

I you just care about purely cosmetic, then I guess you have a point, but the whole purpose of a lift is not purely cosmetic. Your shocks will probably need to be replaced a lot sooner than you would expect because they weren't built for the extra height.

I have the OME 883 front springs plus an added 1/4" spacer on the passengers side to level side to side and nothing on the rear. For me it gave me what I wanted and I am very happy with the results. Would do it again in a minute.
