Anyone?

Im running them with a Rock Krawler X-Factor 2.5 and I really like it. I have the compression set on the softer side and I'm still playing with the rebound. I'm 90% there but really loving the adjustability. After about 5000 miles I wouldn't change a thing.

@Speedy3 I haven't installed mine yet. They are sitting in the garage waiting for me. I'm thinking about running them without any adjustments at first. Any advise that you've got on the shocks or the install process is appreciated. I don't have any experience with adjustable shocks so it'll be interesting.

No advice as far as the install goes except to ask if you got the reservoir brackets, you can see them in my pic. I’ll also post my current settings for you when I get home.

Yes, I got the install kit for the shocks which includes the reservoir brackets. The settings would be great! Thanks!

$2,194.14 That is my thought......

Wow!

I love those shocks. I have a set sitting on the shelf at the shop waiting to go onto my jl. Not cheap at all but tons of adjustability for the money plus internal bypass. I've had them on a whole lot of my jk builds and on my Tacoma. It's one of my favorite shocks out there.

Are you still liking the OME's? Did you settle on a setting you like or find anything that would make you want to change the setup?

 

[Speedy3]

Still love em and have no buyers remorse. I'll snap a pic when I head out in a few. I think I have the settings pretty locked in but they're sooo easy to adjust I play around with them every once in a while..

I have just ordered a BP-51 kit for my JL.

What actual lift height are people getting after the installation?

Whats your feedback after having it for 8 months?

What made you go with these instead of Kings? Just curious as both are way up there in price point.

It's about a 4-4.5" lift. I added 1/2" spacers to mine. I am very happy with the ride. It feels great on the road and on trails. I haven't messed with the adjustment much. I'm going to experiment with it a bit more next time I'm at Rausch.

I have run Old Man Emu on a Land Rover and JKU. With my JLU I wanted to keep it all ARB. I like the quality of their products. That isn't to say that Kings aren't amazing. You can't go wrong with either.
