Diary of a Madman..... OZ-T's build and pics

Not really , if you have 2" or so of factory rake and then lift the front and back 2 1/2" each

 

They are stating +1.75 F and +2.75 R, so that would seem, you know, using maths and all, to raise the rear an additional inch more than the front.
But I have not yet measured the stock height as it sits now, and then factor in the cap...

 

Hm, interesting point.

 

Indeed. But the effect on the long bed may be less pronounced than on the short bed because of both the additional weight of the longer frame and bed, and the additional moments that this additional weight causes to act upon the rear leafs and compress them.

 

Excellent point! I hadn't thought of that.

 

Well now you have.

 

Indeed, there is no disputing that, good friend.

 

1.75 is BS

885's get a DC 2 1/2"

 

Well WTF. So much for "facts" on the internet.

I realize some of this is guesswork anyway.

 

The ARB / OME specs say 1.75 with the 885's but I think they spec that height with the max load on the front which with 885's is 120 lbs additional front load IIRC

Hmm, not finding that on here, and this is updated to 2015. And it states 1.75 for both 885 and 886. It would be nice to get to the bottom of this. But needing LR UCAs for 1.75 would be surprising.

Ah, that's the shit. Thanks. A bit cryptic, but better than the other sheet. They need a technical editor.

 

Bookmark a copy of that application guide , it has part # for every bushing , pin , and spring retainer clip you might ever need to prefurbish you some OME goodies

I'm hitting the rack

Later

 

LOL. Malaysianing, here we come again...

Saved a copy to my hard drive.

Late.

 

1. You have not removed your antisway bar, have you? I see you had relocates at one point. Has that changed?
2. Just looked back at your Leer interior pics, and can see vertical reinforcement posts at the front corners, and I assume they are at the back corner posts too, da?
3. Post #1 is...well, the list is a bit dated, I believe
4. Yeah, those behind-the-seat bins do not fit my nifty little Craftsman Metric+SAE toolkit, it won't fit anywhere, not even under the driver seat like it did in the vintage gen. That tray on the passenger side is useless.

 

Sway bar is on with relocates

Yes

Wut

I cut it out

 

Thanks
Thanks
Nfabs back on? Headache rack?
Yes, I was making an implied reference to your toolbox mod...

 

Nfabs sold , headache rack is in the carport rafters

 

Good song
