So I recently just got the 2.5” OME Heavy lift. Ride is a bit more bumpy than the stock suspension, but that’s easy to get used to. Looks great with the 315 Geolandars.

The next thing to address would be the metal tech coil spacers up front which I already plan on doing soon, and undercarriage armor and skid plate stuff. I don’t know much about all of that, but I do know I need some kind of protection under it because of recent experiences (diff seal broke and got filled with sludge and mud later on the trail, oil pan dented and that seal broke too). So hoping for a solution to protect under the car from more damages. Let me know if y’all have any suggestions. Thanks

Skid Plates from someone here that has started making them. Don't recall whom, but they are full skids.

Lower your tire pressures to 32 PSI range to make the ride more tolerable since you have no winch / bumpers / armor yet.

Make sure to re-route your differential breathers to up high on the firewall so you don't suck in the water and mud you seem to want to play in. You dunk a warm/hot differential into a cold pond and it will cool fast enough to suck in crud from the pond due to the rapid temp change unless your diff breathers are clear and higher than the water levels.
