    I also told Justin to get married. I figured it could keep from giving out candy to little kids. Poor guy can't make a decision on his own.

    WAFB- Ch. 9- BREAKING NEWS! New
    Orleans (AP)- In the lead up to the BCS
    national championship game on January 9,
    University of Alabama football practice was
    suspended for two (2) hours today when a
    ... player discovered a white substance on the
    field. Alabama coach Nick Saban called law
    enforcement to investigate the matter. After
    a scientific analysis, experts determined that
    the unknown substance was the goal line.
    Practice resumed after law enforcement
    agents determined the team was unlikely to
    come in contact with it again.

    I've got the same setup: 885's, OME shocks, LR UCA's, on a DCSB 4x4, and my angles look fine as well. They're increased, but it's not bad.

    I was asking cause my lca's have a pretty steep angle. I was wondering if. I was going to have problems once I got a 4wd

    I think the extra weight of the axles / diff / drive shaft / transfer case makes it sit a little lower than the same spring on a prerunner.

    I'm pretty new here. Originally from Mobile. In NY now for school. Just bought a 2012 4cyl AC 4x4. I've seen that some of y'all have the OME lift, and that's what I plan on getting. Just wondering if you've had a good experience? Any vibes or anything? Are you running the stock UCA's, or would you recommend upgrading?

    UCA's, yes, to get alignment correct in the front with respect to caster. Not enough caster makes it wander-y.

    Vibes, this seems to be on a case by case basis depending on who knows what. I did carrier bearing spacers, and that didn't work. I did axle shims, and that did the trick. You have to get a spacer for the pin that holds the leaf pack together as well, to make sure that it seats correctly in the spring seat on the axle.

    As far as the quality of the OME kit, I've been happy. It's stiffer than stock, but the added damping definitely helps running a heavier / larger tire. I ran stock wheels / tires for the first few days after installing the lift, and it rides a LOT better with the 285's.
