Raises the tri-link up enough that there is no binding on the bushings. Been running one for a little while now. Mine actually sat a little higher after install due to the tri-link pulling and keeping the rear down. |

Wasnt there a guy somewhere making a new tri-link that was lowered? Or did I imagine that? Sent with the power of children's screams!!! |

at what lift height does this become necessary? |

Well that can be debated for pages I'm sure  But when you get 2.75-3 inches the Tri-Link has some bind to it by then. 3.5-4 inches its on a bind just sitting still in the garage. With that said I ran at 4 inches for at least 150,000-160,000 and didn't have one. I also went through a few Tri-links as well

Think I'll give it a go and share my results with you all. Tom or John did you notice improved rear flex? |

Didnt really check or measure for flex. I'm sure it helped ! When I unbolted the Tri-link from the Diff it was under tension. It sprang up when the last bolt came out. |

You guys think this will help my boomerang last longer, or is it even necessary with a plain OME lift? |

I installed mine with a Junkyard boomerang about 1 1/2 years ago, and its still holding up. My rear lift is a 2 1/2" spring lift with 2 extra isolators for a total of 3 1/2"s. |

Really like mine - I had to add a couple of washers to the rear mounting bolts of the sway bar due to contact with the extension piece. |
