    I installed an OME lift and a AAL, It went very well alot easier than i thought it would. I put the front end together first and drove the truck around a couple times, no vibes, shakes, or wandering. Then i installed the AAL, i have a very small vibe at 20-25 MPH. I put some 1/4 inch spacers to drop the drive shaft carrier bearing but it seemed to make it a little worse, i'm going to keep messing with different size spacers to try to get it to stop. But i can live with it if i fail :D
