Old Man Emu 2.5" Suspension System Reviews
My YJ drives like a new Jeep. I had a previous lift kit that may as well have been made from stone. Now it's smooth enough to fall asleep behind the wheel, and it articulates like never before. I wish I would have purchased and installed this kit years ago. I would have saved a ton on chiropractic care. BEST UPGADE EVER!!!
Improve the ride quality of me jeep a lot. i combined this kit with Crown automotive HD shackles and a 1 inch body lift and im running 33 inch tires. only complaint is the shocks do not have a metal dust shield and pictured, they have a plastic dust shield and rub the paint off the shock over time.
Would be nice if it came with directions such as which bushing goes where. They are numbered for some reason.
Questions
Mild Lift Height: At a modest 2.5 inches of lift, the change in driveline angles on a Wrangler YJ is minimal enough that most setups do not experience severe driveshaft vibrations or binding.
Kit Design: Old Man Emu designs their 2.5-inch leaf spring packs to work within factory geometry tolerances, so separate axle shims are typically omitted unless a specific vehicle's weight distribution or slip yoke creates an unexpected driveline harmonic.
If you happen to notice a slight vibration after installation, you can always measure your pinion angle and add steel shims separately, but out of the box, they are not strictly needed for this kit.
Yes, the OME springs are fully compatible with the Fishbone Offroad FB27251 Shackles.
For a 2.5" lift on a YJ, a track bar drop is technically optional but highly recommended for the best handling.
