I have the Old Man Emu 2.5" on my 93 YJ (30 x 9.5 BFG's) and enjoy it very
much although I believe it is the most expensive of the group you mentioned.
I got it because of the greasable leaf springs. Putting it on wasn't too
difficult, save for the rusty bolts. You would want to drop your t-case with
this.

Ride characteristics improved, more of a 'floating' than bouncing. We are
driving Jeeps so "soft/smooth" is a subjective thing.

Happy Trails :-)
