Installed my frankestein lift

Finally got around to installing my lift... when I bought my truck at 40k miles it had a leveling kit and rear blocks on it. The ride was so tough I was F this I gotta get a real suspension. Did my research for awhile and OME was the right choice. Had it on my jeep and it was in my price range unlike king.

So I started by looking at the buy sale thread everyday on the hour to see if I can get a good deal on anything. Realized if you don't jump on something quick you're SOL

Started with OME 886 coils and Ome struts
Then bought Ome rear shocks
Then all pro expedition leaf pack

Then was like damn I need another pair of shocks that are going to fit my rear lift

So I sold the Ome rear shocks and bought the fox 2.0 rear shocks with remote reservoir from Marie at headstrong offroad

Then bought LR UCAs
Then the diff drop kit and relocation kit

All in all the final lift installed:

Front: LR UCAs, KYB top mounts, OME struts and OME 886 springs, stock bump stops, toytech front diff drop kit, drive shaft carrier bearing drop kit.

Rear: Allpro expedition leaf pack, fox 2.0 remote reservoir, stainless steel brakelines from OCtaco on here, stock bump stops, ubolt kit.

Posting this cause it was hard to find research on some of these parts

added pics below

 

OCTaco is the brake line guy

 

My man!

 

I know I know. I put at the bottom I'll take some in the morning it'll be better with sunlight

 

maybe i need to talk to him I've ordered 2 sets now from wheelers and they can't get it rt. The first set was entirely wrong and the second set has one wrong and idk if the other one would work or not. I ought to call them for a refund but just don't feel like dealing with them

Its definitely worth it man. It's good quality, like great quality and got them shipped to me quick! But if I was in your shoes I'd get a refund especially if they haven't got it right yet and get some of OCtaco

 

thanks and i believe your rt i'll look into the refund first

 

He even gets the correct measurement to fit your lift haha! Lmk what you end up doing kinda curious haha

 

I'm going to try for the refund it's just been busy here with Christmas and all. I've got alot to get done just installed ditch lights, and have a header, rear lights, sliders, and skids(yet to be ordered) to get installed plus work on other trucks I've got a complete cmc to do in a couple of weeks busy busy

 

Looks good, I don't see anything green, or bolts sticking out of it's neck, just a good combo of parts.

 

Don't make me show you the green zip ties haha

 

gotta take that sway bar off. Its a night/day difference!

 

Sweet set up! Can you post your hub to fender measurements front and rear? Also, how much weight are you carrying?

I'm on the fence about Dakar or all pro expo springs and this info would help.

 

Yeah I plan on it, some members on here said keep it on during winter months with snow

 

Yeah man pm me and I'll get you the info in a hour or so if I can find my tape measure

As of right now I'm not going to carry nothing but in summer time Ima run my topper and maybe a rtt

 

I am not sure about that. This will be my first year with a lifted truck in the winter.. but my sway bar has been off since my lift was put on in April.

 

Hmmm I think Ima wait for the snow to stop then Ima remove it cause when reading a lot of info on here a lot of people remove them eventually or right away

 

Thanks! All pro has them sale through tomorrow so I need to decide ASAP.

Did you have any issues with the install? I read some people ran into issues with needing a new driveshaft since the springs moved the axle too far to the rear.
