Post subject:  Installing OME Lift Next Week Questions
Quick questions before I install my lift:

I will be installing OME 927 front springs and struts along with OME rear springs. When I install my lift should I also do a 3/8" clevis lift along with it? I currently have an ARB bumper with an M8000 winch. Needless to say my front end is sagging quite a bit.

I would like to get a 2 1/2" lift after it is all said and done. I know that the OME 927 springs are made for the ARB bumper and winch, but will my front sag any (not giving me 2 1/2" in the front)?

Thanks for all the help!!

I would do the 3 ring clevis lift at the same time if you want to achieve 2.5"s. And after if the rear seems to sit lower just insatll a extra rear isloator.

I gapped the clevis 9/16 from the bottom strut plate to the top of the clevis (9/16'' because that was the outer diameter of the socket I used to make the gap the same on both sides). It resulted in about 3/8 inch additional lift. Also added 1 extra isolator pad to the rear upper spring perch. I really like the set up, the rake it just right, not so exagerated as it is stock. THe OME parts do not sag. I have the CRD springs in fornt, and HD rear. I like it. Takes time to settle and break in, but the ride is still really nice. An ARB and winch would likely make the front a little softer which would not be a bad thing. Get an alignment afterwords. Some times they can get it right, some times not. THe concentric nut for the camber adjustment does not have enough adjustment to get mine back in camber. I have not figured out if Als upper A arms would fix it, or if it is going to eat tires the way it is now. Time will tell.

Oh, and the OME stuff was really easy to install. Comparable to replacing stock springs/struts etc.

Could also change the "cable" to "synthetic rope" and change the "Roller Fairlead" to an "Aluminum Hause Fairlead". That will remove ~25# right off the front and the rope is safer to use.

Well I give you one point for getting a great set of springs, I like my OMEs a lot and did a small clevis, nothing more than the springs in the rear and I sit level with the ARB on there no winch though, no sag,
