General Lift Tips

Hey y'all, so i just ordered my OME lift kit and CBI front bumper and it's coming

in early next week. I'm planning on installing everything over the next weekend

and figured i would ask if anyone had any general tips that you had when you

lifted your truck. for example did y'all lock tight all the bolts when you tightened

them or just use anti-sieze. just curious before i started this if y'all might have

some tips that will save me some irritating little issue before i start.

 

Use the LCA to compress the spring... much easier and safer and way quicker than a strut compressor.

When I jacked my lower control arm it lifted one side of the frame up off the jackstand.

I don't think this method of strut assembly is safe.

 

I'm pretty sure they make strut compressors for a reason. Your call though...

 

Don't forget to disconnect the abs cable before separating the uca from the spindle or you could stretch the wire breaking.
