    Another item I noticed about this lift shit: Rear ride height is WAY dependent upon whether or not you have a full tank. Front is level within 1/8" right now. Rear is level within 1/2" with a quarter tank of gas, filled her up and now the driver side rear sits 1.75" lower than passenger :eek:

    Icon resi shocks, wheeler's 1.5" AAL (had TSB springs already)

    Before anyone asks, the AALs are equidistant from the centering pin both ways, so I don't believe there's any way one could be installed backwards.

    Edit: I feel like a bonehead. I recently switched parking spaces at my apartment and this new one isn't completely level. I'll take her up to the car wash a little later today and re-measure on perfectly flat surface. Parking space is probably just flexing it a bit.

    Yeah I'll measure it later.

    My only real remaining concerns are:

    - One leaf was stiffer and designed to go on the left to compensate for the taco lean, if that's the case, instructions or some kind of marking on the leaf would've been nice.

    or

    - Received a 1.5" leaf and a 3" leaf by mistake.

    We'll see what the measurements say.

    In most cases, one leaf has a little more arch than the other. Before installing, you lay them on top of each other, and check wich one has a slight amount more arch, and install that one on the driver side.

    Shit. After I measure later I'll get in touch with Wheeler's if there's still a big difference and confirm/rule this out. May have to tear the rear end open again to reverse that.

    Would it kill 'em to include a note stating this?

    Ok, crisis averted.

    Just took it to the carwash, the grocery store, and parked in my old parking space when I got home.

    Measured at all three locations, rear ride height was 1/4" to 1/2" different with a full tank of gas...I imagine with a near-empty tank it's level. Front ride height was within 1/8" both sides at all three locations.

    My new parking space was flexing me out and freaking me out. It has been fired.

    Is the bushing on the lower shock mount supposed to be super tight on the OME rear shocks? I had to hammer the living crap out of it to get it to line up. :confused:

    It was on Oswego's, we did the bottom first, wiggling it in place, then compressed the shock and mounted the top.

    Alright thanks. My mind is at ease. It seems weird it would be so tight. Wouldn't that limit the suspension? Maybe they need to break in?

    Typically, I've heard most guys pry the bracket open a bit with a prybar and then just let the bolt draw it back closed over the bushing.

    Oh yeah, and when you get done...PICS!

    Thanks. That's what I'll do for the other side.

    I can get pics of it on 3 wheels

    Did you have problems aligning the axle up with the leafs after you put in the aal?
