Expected some rake with the OME 885, but is this normal?

FYI , I'm at 22 3/8 with 885's on my DCLB 4x4

 

just got mine done tonight, OME w/ 885 and JBA UCA. Seems a bit different...


and

 

I gotta agree that's quite a bit of rake. I think I currently sit at 23.25 with my coilovers cranked to 1.25" in the front.

 

23.25 is like 2 1/2 - 3" of lift yo

 

Anyway it could be due to the shocks being installed incorrectly?

 

No

 

If no possible explanation, think I could contact OME direct to see if they'd do anything?

 

I would contact ARB USA and ask them

 

One thing to note is that if you look closely at the front rim in the after shot, I'm standing a bit further away. This helps to realize the front gain somewhat.

 

Lower strut mounts were installed upside down.

 

They should be up like a cup

 

well post pics with the corrected issue!!want to see how the stance is now

 

Shop can't fix it today and aren't open tomorrow! Gotta wait a darn week because I'll be traveling. I'll probably throw in a 10 mm spacer just for good measure.

 

I'm not sure how they could have thought the cups should have gone in the other way , they have an obvious cup side to house the coil

 

No kidding.

 

I would make sure you are compensated I'm some way for your trouble. That's unacceptable. Raise hell if you have to. At the very least make sure you get the labor money back for the front end.

 

On the phone he [the mechanic] told me my stock were facing down, and that the picture he reference also showed down. That was a complete lie.. ARB (shoutout to Mitch, he's been awesome) forwarded me the graphic that's included.

 

Couple new questions.

- Will the spring rate have been affected by this, giving lower lift once it's corrected? (Springs will have to remain like this for a week).
- I might throw in this 10 mm strut top spacer - Should I be worried this might give me rake to the rear with a cap?
-I need to get the carrier bearing drop installed, I'm getting a vibration accelerating from a standstill. Should I get this done for free, or should I not trust this shop with anything else?

Thanks!

 

spring rate will not have been affected just make sure there was no physical damage and should be fine, sometimes its just better to do it yourself, sorry about that sucks bc im sure you were excited to it done

 

Ya, much higher
