    Searched a ton, found a lot of useful information but wanted to get input for my specific situation.

    Bought some OME 90000 nitrochargers on 886's from a member here, they have 50k miles on them. I'm assuming they have a bit of sag, I want to make sure I get a full 3" lift. I don't have any weight in front but am planning on adding a bumper in a few months.

    Kinda confused on what to do about the driver side lean. I know a lot of people just put 1/4" spacer on the drivers side strut, but I'm thinking about using the "trim pack" to fix the driver side lean in addition to adding 1/4" spacers on both sides to get the full 3". OR I can forget about the trim pack and just add 1/2" spacer to driver side with 1/4" spacer on passenger side.

    Any thoughts on this set up? Too much? Newbie trying to get it right the first time.

    It's not low but assuming they weren't beaten up offroading then he should get some decent life out of them...hopefully they were priced accordingly.

    What's a 'trim pack'?

    It's high mileage but I got a package deal on them with rear shocks... just trying to get lift and tires done with a college student budget. I have a job lined up for after graduation next year, will probably be replacing them once I can afford sandwiches and stuff haha.
