OME Nitrocharger Sport 880/881

Ok and do you just have stock shocks in the rear?

 

I have OME nitrochargers all around.

 

This is the kit I bought. I also installed a 3 degree axle shim in the rear for better driveline angles. Some people need it...others don't. But if you do, it will raise it by another 1/4".

 

I got the same shocks and had 880s with a stock bumper. I then replaced the bumper/winch and replaced the 880s with 881s. I didn’t measure the difference but here’s how it is now. Tires are 285/75/16 KM3s.

 

how do you know if you need the axle shim? Or is it just a precaution

 

That’s a sweet setup. I like the ditch lights

 

Some trucks develop a vibration after a lift. You will then have to use a angle meter to determine what degree shim you need. Sometimes it also requires you to shim your carrier down a bit as well. It's kind of random and not everyone experiences it but if you do it can be a pain in the ass to remedy.

Oh yeah, you will also have to take apart your leaf pack to get the shim in...basically redoing everything. Joy.

Oh yeah, and I had to order another set of u-bolts and the leaf pack centering pin because the shim made it so that they weren't long enough since I cut them after the first install. Double joy.

 

Dang ok well that’s good to know… I have an extra pair of long U-bolts I’ll keep around just in case.
