Is the OME 2" or 3" ??

I getting ready to begin the never-ending mod process.

Currently I am set on an ARB front bumper, w/out a winch (for now). Skids, a full set (not sure which brand), and an aftermarket roof rack.

Right now I am currently trying to settle on a suspension lift system...

Old Man Emu comes highly recommended, the system I recently got a quote on, provided 2" or lift. Some people say they are getting 3" .....just wondering?

Another question I had about the system was whether to go heavy or medium in the back. Sure there will be times when I am carrying a heavy payload....camping trips, expeditions, but 85% of the time its just going to have the weight of the mods, and one driver....and thats it.

I got 2" (51mm).

You can see my "Build" link below.

I also use the ARB front bumper and an after market ARB roof rack.

I got 3+ inches with the OME "heavies," and that was even back when I still had the mega-heavy Warn winch bumper on there.

Re: Is the OME 2" or 3" ??

I really dont know how much lift I got because I did not measure stock. What I can tell you is with the lift I measured from the ground to the bottom of the fender flares centered over the tire and I have 39 1/2" in the rear and 38 3/4" in the front.
