EditL I have since upgraded the below lift and here is a link describing:
http://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=94950
1. What lift Kit / components did you use? Include Spacers.
I selected the 2.5” OME Medium Lift kit.
Kit Included and was installed at Slee offroad:
2 x OME 851 Front Coil Springs
2 x OME 860 Rear Coil Springs
2 x N73 Nitrocharger Shocks
2 x N74E Nitrocharger Shocks
1 x SD24 Steering Damper
1 x CA77B Caster Kit
1 x Caster Bushing Press Piece
I am also using the 1” Mr Gasket Spacers from
www.summitracing.com Part number MRG-1285 up front. See spacer install thread

2. Why did you select that particular lift?
Wanted to keep it family friendly and at the time did not have any armor. Christo advised me to go with the medium in place of the heavy.
Later found that there is no real spring load difference between the medium and heavy lift springs, so I did not change them after I installed the armor and winch, just added the above spacer:

3. What tire size are you running?
BFG AT KO 285/70/R16’s - Real happy with them (See Tire section in FAQ)
4. Rim specs - 16x8 w/ "x" backspacing
Stock Rims, no backspacing
5. What caster correction, if any have you used?
What came in the kit as installed by Slee
6. Have you had any rubbing issues?
No
7. Did you have any Driveline issues? What was the cause and how did you fix it?
Yes- Turned out both drive shafts needed new Ujoints and to be re-balanced. Change in pinion angle made problem more prominent.

8. What is your main on and off-road uses of vehicle?
This is my DD. I also wheel this at Moab and in Colorado. I tend to stay on trails rated a 7 or lower on a scale of 10.
9. Are you happy with the performance on and off-road your for your use.
Yes
10. What would you do if you were going to do it differently?
Nothing
11. Any plans on modifying the lift or other related components (Tire size)?
Considering going to 315 sized tires, but I would have to re-gear (IMO) first. So I would re-gear, go bigger tires and then consider at that time need for 4” lift.
