I just recently completed my lift which is an Old Man Emu MT64 setup with UCA's from ARB which just hit the market. There are plenty of lifts out there, some good and others not so much and I chose this kit as ARB if known for anything is quality product. OME is not directly ARB but their suspension product of choice.

The MT64 is the non rest setup and I went with the 0# Front and 0# Rear springs. I originally installed the front at the lowest setting, +1.75" to see what that was like as I appreciate the factory back to front rake, but then reinstalled at the full +3" in the front which was definitely level. So level in fact that the natural difference in fender gap front to back would make it look nose high on the slightest of uneven surfaces. I then went in again and ended up at +2.5" which I think is perfect if you appreciate that downward front rake.

I'm running Toyota Trailhunter wheels which are a +20mm offset and 285/70R18 Toyo AT3's which are one of the "lighter" 285's out there.

These pics aren't the best and clearly the ground isn't level, I'll upload more later.

Looks good. I’m fairly sure I saw it in Arlington last Saturday.
Did you install yourself or have a shop install the lift?
 
Loving this thread, I have a set of the MT-64 and their UCU ready to install at Westcott Designs this upcoming September. Initially I bought the WD lift kit and sold it brand new after doing more homework. I then wanted Kings 2.5 but I was told not the ideal choice for Midwest winters and salt. Then I settled on ARB OME. Figured if it's good enough for OEM Trailhunter trims, good enough for me. An amateur at best lol. So then came the decision MT-64 or their BP-51 full coilover setup. Price was not a deciding factor really here for me, it was more so not really messing with any suspension settings beyond initial setup on any of my mountain bikes equipped with fancy Fox Shox Factory forks, set it and forget it kind of guy. So after some back and forth, I settled on the MT-64 setup that I bought during the 4th of July sale from SRQ Fabrications, best price I've found (drop shipped from ARB USA anyway).

Here are a few good reviews I found of the MT-64 that helped my decision.

I was up there, lat morning-ish. Self install, I now know all of tricks and can drop the fronts in about 40 minutes per side (have R&R'ed them a few times to get ride height where I want it). If you were doing it yourself for the first time I would expect it to take approx 4 hours learning your way through it. If you picked up a set I wouldn't mind helping out or providing tips.

I was in the same camp somewhat. I was a little apprehensive of spending that much money, but the deciding factor was adjust ability, but not in a "good way". I knew if I had two-way adjustable shocks I would be forever tinkering it with it, trying to get it perfect, etc., and I would always think it wasn't quite right lol
