What OME lift for a HDJ81?

Speaking to lifts, check out Slee's site:

I currently have the OME 2.5" Medium lift. I love it -- great improvement over the "cadillac" stock (and worn out) suspension.

My problem is that I just added front and rear bumpers (with tire carrier), and I'll probably be adding dual batteries, a winch, and aux fuel tank within this year. I'll likely end up upgrading to the 2.5" Heavy lift sometime in the near future.

If you just have sliders & bumpers (without winch, tank, or 500lbs of ammo like CDan), the Medium would probably work well for you.

I highly recommend picking up the phone and talking to Christo or Ben at Slee. They are very helpful.

Thanks for the info.
Good point about the dual batteries. I forgot about that. I have two Red tops.
I also have the added weight of a 1HD-T diesel up front. Maybe I need something stiffer up front.

I thought about calling slee.
I will probably order the lift in Canada.
I really don't want to call and waste their time.

Cheers,
Nick

Depending on your load characteristics, you might consider doing the Heavies in front and Medium in the rear.

I believe (from other threads) that the spring rates between Medium and Heavy are the same -- its the length that is different.
