Hey all! I have been a year long lurker and have finally joined the forum. I have a 2002 4 banger and I need advice with a small lift. I recently took my TJ out with some co-workers, see my very muddy profile picture, and had a blast off roading. I now have the urge to put a small lift on my TJ. Because I have the 4 banger, I do not want more than a 2 - 2.5 inch lift (I really do not want more than a true 2.5 inch lift I am about to put on new tires and plan on getting BF Goodrich KO2 in 31s and I do not want my tires to look awkwardly small). I have read that the a very popular lift kit is the OME. I have also read that a very popular shock is the RS5000X shocks (I currently run these with no lift and really like them). I would like to order the springs from OME and the Rancho RS5000X shocks. Although, I am open to other suggestions for springs. I have searched for a build your own lift on the forum, but I am still uncertain what all is needed for a lift. Lift kits are all new to me, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge, I want to know what else I need to buy for a lift besides the springs and shocks? I would appreciate any insight you guys have!
As an example, I love @MountaineerTom LJ that I found in a post. This is what lift I would ideally like to achieve.
