Are Old Man Emu lifts good?

After extensive research, Old Man Emu was my top choice as most Toyota enthusiasts recommended it. The thing about this kit is it does not ride the same as stock, it rides way smoother. The lift kit is perfect and should have come stock with this kit.
Are BP-51 worth it?
The BP-51 shocks can be setup for that creamy soft feel on the highway, but that can also result in poor handling where the vehicle can easily be destabilized. There’s a fine balance you can achieve to mix the comfortable ride with good handling, our trucks with lots of gear, dont like too soft of a setup.
Is Ironman suspension any good?

Do I need aftermarket UCA?
It’s more for alignment unless you’re looking at Total Chaos. 3”+ of lift I would get aftermarket UCA’s. As @T-Rex266 said, an aftermarket UCA is primarily for alignment but the TOTAL CHAOS UCA’s do offer some extra benefits. If you’re running 2.5-3+” of lift then I’d recommend considering upgrading the UCA.

Installed OME 2″ HD suspension and Rubicon Express 3/4″ coil spacers and got about 3-1/2″ total lift. Ride is very smooth, probably better than stock. Recommend using OME steering stabilizer as well. Unless you have alot of heavy after market gear (bumpers, winch, tire carrier…) the heavy duty OME will get you 2-1/2″ of lift.
How much lift does a heavy duty Ome add?
Unless you have alot of heavy after market gear (bumpers, winch, tire carrier…) the heavy duty OME will get you 2-1/2″ of lift. Between that and the additional 3/4″ from the spacers I had alot of drive line vibration until putting in a SYE kit and custom CV drive shaft.
