Old Man Emu Ultimate TJ/LJ Kit through DPG Offroad

[Don_L]

Curious to see if anyone in here is running this set up through DPG Offroad:

Interested in knowing ride quality, stiffness, height etc.

Except for the JKS rear TB, I'm running pretty much everything else, sans the shocks which are OME's first gen nitros. By far, top shelf product. Ride is much improved. Don't think you'd be disappointed.

While I'm not sure if anyone is running that exact setup, I can tell you that many of us (myself included) run the OME 2.5" lift kit which that lift is based on.

He's just pieced it together with a bunch of other components that work well together.

The OME lift is widely regarded as the best 2-2.5" lift on the market, and I can attest to that. It rides like a Cadillac both on-road and off-road. You will not be disappointed with an OME lift, not at all.

I'm running the same exact kit on my LJ. 75-80 MPH on KO2 33" no vibes at all! Even when I pick stiff set up rides so smooth that I do still amaze by it. My LJ gain around 4.5" of lift, the coils gave you around 1 inch more than what it rated. The JKS Tracks bars does not interfere with the diff covers at all. JKS Quick Discos are nice feature to have if you off road, Motor mounts are a blast to put in but is totally worth. I was quite indecise on the body mount but since the mod list is endless, Tummy Tuck step one is cover, so went that direction. Installation of this kit took me 14 hrs as I'm very picky and clean and take care of details more than what I should. is a mid hard install. I have the same for 7 months now, Offroad mid to hard trails almost every weekend and highway drive to get there and return home and still solid. In general I'm very please with this lift and recommend the same. You need to set some time and call Dirk to pick the spring rate, it's not going to be a short phone call, but you won't regret. Dirk has lot of knowledge on OEM and was very patience with all my many questions and I'm pretty sure he will guide you to what is best for your Jeep application. Also has to said that this kit install instructions include a helpful "cheat sheet" but if you ran into any issue he is available to help you with as well.
Let me know if you have any question and I will try to answer the best I can.

The kit includes OEM Springs and shocks, JKS Track bars, Quick discos, rear swaybar links, body mounts, and motor mounts spacers that can be upgraded to Brown dog motor mounts.
As you, I can attest is widely regarded as the best 2- 2.5 lift and have excellent on and off road ride quality.
