    Not exactly :D, rectified that one little problem there. ;)

    Something wasn't looking right when I was about to reconnect the spindle, I was thinking "WTF :confused: that doesn't look right" THEN I put the SPC logo facing outward towards the tire, and slid it as far out as it would go on the ucas. :)

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Really enjoyed this thread, it combines ALL the redundant questions into one convenient package. (Not being a smartass either) There's some great info./opinions in here. I just ordered the OME885 kit w/ Dakars from 4wheelparts (was 10% off, missed the deal but it was still the cheapest w/ the leafpack), LR uca's from Metaltech4x4 GB, CB drop from Beefedtaco, and some odds'n'ends from Toytec (I'm gonna end up using the 1/4" spacers for just under an inch of addtl. lift up front) JUST A HEADS UP - most of the OME "kits" (with the exception of Toytec's) include the old style N140s front struts. I had to request the new 90000 series and paid an extra $40 for them, but they have way better valving and heat disposition.
    I will try to make a detailed install thread with pics, step by step for everything, as I will be doing it all solo (including assembling the shocks). I'll put the link here when said thread is completed. Thanks guys.

    I installed this on my truck yesterday. The front was a breeze but I had a hard time with the rear shock of all things. The eye on the lower end seemed too wide to fit in the lower mount. It took some persuasion to get it in where the hole would line up to get the bolt through.

    Looks like the ToyTec ULK with Total Chaos UCA's. I have the same lift with Light Racing UCA's.

    Did you order from Toytec or Wheeler's? They include the new shocks, since it's pieced together form scratch. I (unfortunately) got mine from 4Wheelparts, and saved about $100 comparatively, but ended up paying an extra $20 for them to swap out for the 90000 Shocks. Oh, well. I put it all on last night, and love it so far. Pics/specs to come soon.
