    I try to keep it off belts, especially the timing belts. Don't want slippery belts. Just yank the lower hose off and let it go into a clean bucket and you can pour it back in after.

    Woods down where? We don't have 'woods' in southern CA lol.

    Thats funny you mention it though, that was a common term for me in Missouri and TX and but I don't think I've used it in 15+ years

    @Empty_Lord just ordered the OME lift, do you have to unbolt the lower control arm to remove/install the front struts, I’ve watched tutorials where the do and they don’t

    Joshua tree forest :notsure: if you're out in the desert anyway

    We do have heavily forested areas in the mountains but when I think of 'the woods' I think of flat areas with a dense amount of deciduous trees

    Did you get a leaf pack too or just coils and struts?

    If your coils are coming already assembled to the shock you literally just bolt that sucker in. 3 bolts up top and one through the bottom.

    guess it's just not a common term out here.

    "the sticks" was another one my parents used a lot

    Those are more time consuming but still just nuts and bolts. If you have a 2nd pair of hands it will go much faster.

    It helped me to have a second person to shove the bottom shock bolt in, as I had to stand on the rotor to get the lca down far enough. I guess it would be easier if you loosened the cams but eh, whatever.

    Or the people that used it after him. Like 90% of the water in those things is recycled.
