2002 TJ OME Lift
by Steve Leslie
Installation performed by Steve Leslie and Dale Majka
This series of writeups will cover the
installation of an OME 2.5" lift (springs & shocks), front & rear extended bump
stops, front & rear adjustable trackbars, JKS "quicker" disconnects and a 1"
t-case drop on a '02 Jeep TJ Sport. This installation was performed on Feb 28th,
2004. It was straightforward, but time consuming....and quite tiring I might
add. Luckily, we had an awesome day for it... it was absolutely gorgeous
outside!.

Dale helping me out with this install which also made the whole thing go
quicker.
