    Just installed an old man emu lift on my 2016 off road. Followed the low range off road videos to install it, but we didn't have to take apart the sway bar or take off the skids. Made it much easier. This might have been because there were 3 people to hold stuff / pass up the coilovers on the front.

    First question: the rear shock bushings seem to be off centered from the washers. I tightened the nuts until the bushing grew in size, but it is squeezed out on one side of the washer. Both driver and passenger have this problem. Imagine drawing 2 circles with centerpoints a few mm off.


    Second question: in the low range video, they mention that you must tell an allignment shop that they need to loosen each cam and bounce the vehicle. Can someone explain why? I assume I must still do this, even though I never loosened the allignment cams.

    Here are some photos:
