Ive got the ORA 2.5" mudskipper kit and think its great for road use and great for offroading. It came with everything I needed at a resonable price (when you add everything up). The rough country N2.0 shocks are nice and controlled for this lift and I dont think they are too firm. also Rob at ORA was very helpfull.
however, If you feel after a while you want a higher lift or in time they have sagged a bit. you would only need to change the springs or add spacers to give you your 3" lift. on the other hand if you wanted your jim lower this is also possible with the opposite of whats stated above - A real bonus of having the 2-3" rough country shocks

The only slight downside is If your like me and like things perfect , espeically your stearing (its a jimny I know but you get the idea) you may find that the correction bushes do help massively and most people would be happy with it but I think Correction arms would be better. (which you'd need for a 3" lift anyway)
Just my thoughts

thanks for the help mate, how do the ORA 2.5" mudskipper kit ride like?

good value for a basic but complete kit.. as said already it starts getting silly money after that if you want a bigger lift speak to Scott at Mad-4-vits

I really like mine. Not too stiff and to be honest dont really notice much difference on the road from the standard set up all seems smooth.
Offroad - so far so good, havent done serious offroadin, I only installed mine a month ago and havent had a chance to really test it (due to work) but my initial oppinon is its a great kit.
Id go test it right now and give you a better description of the offroad ride but Im currently still offshore working and wont be home till the 15th.

Hope this helps.
