Looking to pay someone to install complete OME kit w/ uca's (2nd gen)

You could fit those stock with wheels and trimming. Even with lift, gonna need wheels/spacers and trimming.

 

Okay thanks, with all the advice I've gotten I think I'm gunna go for it myself and try to get this done. Also, if anyone's interested I could make a build thread too since I have wheels and tires, my lift, a bruteforfce bumper, raptor style grille, color-matching, headlights and taillights, a new stereo, and some other little things planned too

 

You probably won't need the Top hat spacer with this setup.

I have a runner with the 886/90000. Estimate 4-4.5" lift. Full armor. 35s and v6.

 

Oh hmm, I think I will just to stay on the safe side but thanks anyways

 

That spacer will net you 1" lift by itself... FYI.

 

If I do go with a spacer would you recommend a 1/4 inch spacer then so it could almost guarentee 3 inches of lift

 

Last time I did a UCA on a second gen, minor bending of the fender well let the bolt come out nice and easy. Shouldn't have to go crazy on the sheet metal

 

Okay, thanks

 

I would try no spacer at first. I have a heavy front bumper with everything. Almost 4.5" lift without any spacer.

Edit... easy to put 1 in if you want taller.

 

Do you think 3" of lift might be possible if all the extra weight up front I have is a bruteforce front bumper? I have an 05 dcsb 4x4

 

I have a shrockworks, one of the heaviest made, winch also.
Pretty sure it will have height.

Putting in spacers later is pretty easy to do.

 

Okay, thanks for all the info

 

Almost forgot. If you do put Top hat spacers in, you will need to put longer studs in the mounting plate

 

Ya, if I were to buy them i'd just get them from Headstrong Offroad, their spacers come with longer studs

 

What shops have you called? I am also looking into installing a set but haven't even gotten around to calling. I'm only about 25-30 mins away from you in Pittsburg.

 

I called Diablo Offroad and Performance and they told me it'd be around $1,200 total with an alinement. Called another shop who I can't quite remeber the name of but I'll let you know if I can think of it and they said something like $1,500. Also called Western Alinement Services, they said a front wheel alinement is only $55, I figured that was a pretty solid price. Basically I haven't gotten anything under the 1,000s for strictly installs so I figured I'd just do it myself.

 

Thanks for the heads up. Yeah man those are all rip offs. Its almost the price of the parts themselves. I was looking into installing the 6112/5160 set up and worry about the UCAs and leaf packs later as I dont have any larger tires or added weight as of yet.

 

Ya if you're just looking to install shocks then I'd try it yourself first, I was a little skeptical but with all the tips everyone's been giving me I feel pretty confident that I can get it done.

 

I need to go back into self employed at them prices they want to charge.

 

If you're going to do it within the next couple of weekends I'd be down to do both of our car's together
