    No, not with anything beyond a garden hose pressure. I have been driving around in torrential tropical downpours though, does that count? :D

    I'll go use the search function in a bit, just wanted to report that they had indeed started squeaking without using any type of prevention.

    A slew of pricey stuff my wife hates me for.
    I used the 1/2" with the 886s. You need the extended stud kit for the 1/2". If you use the 1/4" spacer the studs you have will be fine.

    Keep in mind you'll get twice the thickness in lift & you don't want to go over 3".

    I got 3" with 885's on my AC, trim packer took care of the lean issue.
    4" from the dakar's in the rear. Instead of taking a leaf out I wanted to see what the 1/2" spacers would do for the front. the 1/2" spacers gave me another inch, so 4" over my worn out stock suspension. 4", IMO, is way too much for the front. CV angles were garbage, they would bind, just not good. I took them out and opted to take a leaf out of the back at a later time.

    What he means is if you get the 1/2" spacer itll add closer to 1" of lift(more like 3/4") and if you get the 1/4" spacer it'll add closer to 1/2" of lift(more like 3/8"). If your total lift goes above 3" there will be a steeper angle on your CV joints which can cause them to wear at an accelerated rate.

    I went with 1/4" when I ordered mine, I was worried the 1/2" would put me well over 3". I'd rather stay just a little under 3" than go well over. Will see how it goes when I put it on next weekend.

    I've got 1/2" with 885's waiting to be installed. I'm figuring it will put me at 3.2" with a LB. I might swap (1) 1/2" for a 1/4" then do 1/2" driver side and 1/4" pass. side. Anxious to see how yours looks.

    The guys running OME shocks should get the OME 5mm trim packer for driver's side lean
