I earlier had the regular OME lift on a grand Cherokee and they performed great. Not too hard and enhanced control. But check the stiffness of the coils you will add depending on whether you have steel bumpers, winch etc

Thanks Aidy, i was going for them until Violetta mentioned the BP51, i contacted ARB, and they are running a ramadan discount on them. From around 10700 original to 8700 now. Plus 400 installations and need to add rear spring. I believe over all price will be around 9400.
Is it worth it, i dont know!! Should i wait and go for the big guys (kings, fox, radflo, etc) or r these as good as them. Hmmmm

OME lift kit for FJ
I had ARB OME on my FJ. Had really bad crabbing where the back of the car car would bounce sideways on a side slope. Personally I would not recommend if doing anything too advanced.

Radflo vs BP51
I have BP51 on a land cruiser and Radflo on the FJ. BP51s are good, not quite as adept as Radflo especially if you get to an area which creates more severe compression and rebound. I have more confidence in the Radflo’s being able to soak things up and keep very stable than the BP51s. However I don’t think you will be disappointed with them, especially for the price.

Thanks guys,
Zeebzog, for me now Radflo is a bit pricey, BP51 is affordable for now, if am going to go for advanced level u think they will do right? I have a very good feedback on them, some even say they r equal to king
