the money and time has finally come. Tires arrived today and I'll be picking up the lift and spacers on Friday.

Saturday is Doomsday...gonna get all installed with the help of a buddy (extremely experienced mechanic) Wish me luck.

So far, I have a flowmaster super 44 and tinted front windows to match back.

This may help on the install. Even if it is not a JBA lift, many of the instructions are similar and will assist you in doing your install.
They can be found here. HOW TO: 2.5 Inch JBA Lift
Download them and print them. Torque Specs are at the bottom of each one.
Also read the notes I posted in the thread.

Preciate it man I'll definitely look at that if we need it. The guy helpin me has installed a few of these lifts. I went with the OME so hopefully everything will go pretty smoothly.

BlueKJ. Are you friends with 1BadKJ? I would assume so since you said you'd stop by lol

Me either lol

you're gonna love the ride, once the alignment is done. It'll feel a little squirilly till then.

Thanks for the info man. I can't wait till tomorrow to get working on this thing. It feels like I've been waiting forever to start doing some real modding to it

I've been saving up for a lift and the OME seems like a solid option. Thanks for the free preview of what could be for me :lol:

No problem brother. I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures and explain where I had problems (if I have any, hopefully not) and you'll have some good reference. You can also look at the instructions that Scar0 sent me and those should help you out too. They seem pretty solid.

Finally got everything ready to go. OME 1.5" (2.5") lift, Duratracs 245/75R16, and 3/8" spacers to hopefully level out the front.

I'm debating if a truck wouldn't have been a bad idea...

Looking good, Arctic_Libby! Can't wait to see it installed. Take some before & after photos for us. :BANANA:

Scar0 · **Posted:** Fri Mar 01, 2013 8:09 pm

Waiting is the hardest part... :JEEPIN:
