    I haven't measured, but to the naked eye I'm just a little nose high. I'm kicking myself!

    887's should have netted you 3" + 1.75

    You've gotta be driving around with those shocks almost maxed out. That's a lot of lift.

    That's what I was thinking. My work commute is about nine miles each way on the city streets. Straight shot, very little potholes. Safe to drive tomorrow?

    Getting the billies adjusted first thing Friday morning (the shop is a few miles from my house).

    Blowing up would not be good. I don't want to be on the news. Just snapped a few photos, will post soon.

    Pardon the blurry pictures. How do the CV angles look? Judging by the photos from other people in different threads, I'm thinking they don't look good right now.

    I have had this issue with my OME setup from day one, particularly noticeable in whoops where the front end wants to come off the ground. Really only one solution.

    They look really good, if you were on a lift with the the tires off the ground.
