OME HD front and back, OME shocks, Long Travel in the back,Teraflex bumpstops in the front and Daystar bumps in the back. Moabs with MTR's. got a bit of rubbing up front that I can trim or melt away plus I am going to need to pound the pinch welds.
Started at 32" ground to center top of wheel well. Ended up with 36" when all was said and done, nice! Thought I would throw in pics of my CV's just so you can see where they are now.
BTW, those MTR's are LOUD!!! :lol:

already did 1 conduit nut when I did the lift, we will see what happens down the road after she settles. Also got the alignment done yesterday too. Got a free 6000 mile checkup so when it settles I am going to take it back for a tweaking. Speaking of alignments, here are my numbers. I am not sure how good/bad they are. If anybody wants to let me know I would appreciate it. Looks like all the green ones are in spec but the caster is in red on the right and cross so I am not sure about those.

front left:

Camber -0.4 (green)
Caster 3.5 (green)
Toe 0.13 (green)

Front right:

Camber -0.4 (green)
Caster 1.2 (red)
Toe 0.08 (green)

Front
Cross Camber 0.0 (green)
Cross Caster 2.4 (red)
Total Toe 0.22 (green)

That alignment is toast. They need to tweak the caster.

It must pull like crazy to the right :shock:

BTW- Cross-caster is the difference between left and right. Caster will not cause tire wear, owever, it will cause a pull. If they tweak both sides so it's evenly matched, IE 2.0 degrees on both sides (that's where ThunderbirdJunkie's sits) it will drive better. Also...if they didn't get the toe the same on both sides...they are lazy.

ThunderbirdJunkie hates lazy alignment guys.

I barely notice a pull to the right and I will make sure they get things right when I bring it back after it settles. Thanks for the input.
