I don't think you can go too high with OME, they only make about a 3"
lift anway. It used to be limited to 2.5", but I think they've raised
the bar. Also, not to confuse matters, but I had a Teraflex 4" 4ST lift
that was great, too! It was matched with DT3000 shocks that I'm still
running on my Rubicon.
