[Although there is a similar thread out, I have some different questions...]

I have a '92 XJ Laredo with about 150k mi on it, and am looking at
putting a mild lift on it. It's a daily driver that occasionally goes
off-road. I'm not planning on a heavy winch or bumpers.

I'm trying to choose between a 'standard' 3" lift (probably RE) and
putting an Old Man Emu system on it. Either way the Jeep gets new coils
up front, new rear leaf packs (no AALs), and four shocks.

I have a couple questions about the OME lift:

(1) What kind if height increase have people actually gotten with the
medium OME components?
(2) What tire size can I get on it with the OME - 30" or 31"?
(3) Is the OME t-case drop really needed for this height increase?
(It's seems to be included in all the system/install prices quoted.)
(4) Is the difference in ride as great as advertised?
(5) Is it worth the cost?

Thanks!

1. 2-2.5" with the regular duty lift, 3-3.5" with the heavy duty lift.
2. 31's *may* fit the regular lift but you'd be restricted in flexy
situations
3. It's a crap shoot, install the lift and drive it - install as necessary.
4. Everyone claims that it is better than factory, never heard otherwise.
5. Quality lift, not absurdly expensive - if it's the right size for you I'd
say yes.
