    That's a 0 (ZERO) and a - (MINUS), indicating one leaf pack is spot-on, while the other is a little weak. To not cause/exacerbate Taco lean, recommend using the 0 on your driver side and the - on your passenger side.

    Thanks guys. That makes sense. Hope I don't end up with anti- taco lean

    You shouldn't. Mine arrived the same way and, to be honest, I don't notice ANY difference in pre- and post-lift lean.

    - OME trim packer for drivers side lean
    - OME 60091 Nitrocharger sport rear shocks

    So when is comes to needing extended rear brake lines do we really need them with OME shocks? Does the shock limit the travel enough to where it doesn't need any longer lines?

    There is no need for them really. Most do it for peace of mind.

    I'll be getting myself a full OME kit in the next month or so and will be getting new UCA's too. I know people seem to prefer TC over the LR ones, but are the LR's really that bad? It would be a good way for me to take a couple hundred bucks off of my lift if it's the case. Thanks!

    The LR UCAs have gone through some improvements over the past few years. They fixed their bushing issue and now they include a zerk fitting on the balljoints. I've had mine for a few years now (with the old style bushing) and I just replaced the bushing and balljoints last month. No complaints here.

    Wheelers Offroad sells them. They come in a set (for 2 shocks). Not sure if you can buy for just one shock.

    No issues with my LR's for the past year, bought right before they updated to the added zerks, not happy about that.

That includes the new brake lines...speaking of which..I'm so angry at those little Japanese kids on the other side of the world that put the tops in a 3cm by 5 mile cave. That. Was. A. Bitch.

    I totally agree. I just finished. Taking a break, then gotta bleed the brakes, put the wheels back on, and torque everything to spec. Oh, and btw, Georgia decided for some reason to randomly give me $700 more in tax returns yesterday!!! So, I'm lookin at getting either the 885/885 CO's, TC UCA's, Borla CAT Back, CAI, or 2 new wheels/tires to start that set. I'm so undecided!
