Help With WK Lift

I have a 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee that i'm looking to lift, but do not know what lift to go with. I was thinking about the OME lift but I need help with the configuration. I would like to do a "Modified OME Lift" (OME and 2in pucks) but i'm not sure if it would pull the axle forward towards the front axle. Any thoughts?

theres a lot of guys running the modified OME with no rear LCAs to help center the rear axle, usually those running the 4" SL or modified 4" SL upgrade their rear LCAs. the "go-to" configuration for the modded OME seems to be bilstein 5100s, OME HD coils, rustys rear spacer, bilstein 5125s and a rustys rear adj trackbar- with that amount of lift in the rear youll need to center up that rear axle. youll also want to get some RRO or JBA front UCAs.

Yes but a track bar only fixes left to right movement. How do I fix the fact that it's going to pull the axle forward?

Longer control arms will decrease the operating angle of your suspension(not pull the axle forward ) . They will make for a better ride on and off road

Like I mentioned in my post you can address the pulling of the axle forward with adjustable LCAs. However most guys with the modded OME do not do adjustable LCAs.
