looking to put OME shocks and stabalizer on a 4.5" Rubicon Express lift and i was wondering if anyone has done that already or if anyone has any useful info that they could share about the shocks in general...thanks

YJ or TJ??

TJ uses part number N66L front and N67L rear.  Rubicon Express sells them.  

YJ uses the N33L front and N36L rear.

The steering damper for either Jeep is an OMESD40.

Where are you in Canada?

well that must mean that both are awesome..because what i heard is that not too many kits for a yj flex like the extreme duty 4.5 "one that i am getting and that there is no better shock than the OME ones (assuming that they are the same style of shock that is).... 8)

Actually I bet the OME kit flexes better.  I can't believe the flex out of my OME kit for my YJ.  The shocks are very nice, I couldn't believe how much bigger they were over the stock ones, but that not probably saying much.
