Right I may get a winch so I can do some more intense stuff and have that safety blanket
The standard kit can do either a winch or bumper up front separately. If you do both you will want the heavy springs up front.

The size I mentioned earlier is a 33.2 inch tire and should fit with the Old Man EMU lift. Hopefully that will help out. Also no UCA is required for install and alignment!!!
I know this thread is a bit older but looking at the old man EMU technical data, see attached. It say 2 inch lift kit but the lift height says 0 - 3.5 inch, can this kit actually will get you to 3.5 inch height?

From what I understand the coils are 0-3.5” but the leafs are static 2” at full lift on the coils you would probably be level instead of raked. You’ll also need some upper control arms if you expect to be in alignment and not wreck tires weekly.

Where you got this information I can tell you is incorrect sir. The front is lifted by 2.4 and the rear by 1.6.

Pretty sure the OME kit is not adjustable and that this...

So the ad is incorrect? I know they do offer a set of adjustable coil overs that go 0-3.5. I have the fox kit and it’s 0-3” but factory it’s set at 2”.

The adjustment for the OME BP-51 is primarily compression and rebound. The preload adjustment is only for load carrying according to ARB

So Bladimir, you’ve really kind of struck the mother load of all things Old Man Emu by running into @Frenchy - if anyone can help you figure it out, it’s their number one fan, Chris. ? Nope, he doesn’t work for them, but man, he sure knows the product well enough to get you headed in the right direction.
