    Quick question Madjik, when installing your OME kit, did you only grease leaf spring and shackle bushings, or did you also grease rear nitrocharger bushings before pressing them in? thanks in advance

    Complete OME kit w/ 881's and dakars. All-Pro Sliders, CB, HAM Radio and various other minor stuff.
    For me, I greased everything with high temp/ high pressure grease on every moving part. Makes for a very easy install.

    ^ This

    I always show off when meeting TW members.

    Hell, Squeaky Penguin was in my truck when I took it out on the highway for the first after the lift install (to see about vibrations). And I shifted at 3000 rpms.

    Those came out pretty even..more than mine did. I'm off by 1/4" plus or minus all the way around...
    So you gained 2" in the front and 4" in the rear...rear must have been really flat to begin with :laugh:

    How is the rake looking? do you think we'll need to put the AAL in?

    Take it FWIW... I'm "eyeing" up the end of the tape measure with the center of my hub and trying to accurately read it at the bottom of my fender flare... all the while being stuffed in my tiny garage.

    Unloaded it looks perfect IMO. I have to take it off road with a loaded bed to see if the AAL need to be inserted. Or wait until these leafs begin to sag.

    But as of now I feel like it's well dialed in.

    Ran Kingston Peak on Saturday. It was my friend's first annual wheeling trip with all the techs and front end personnel of his shop. The black Xterra was a really fucking sweet rig, the driver of the white Jeep was hilarious and the last time I went wheeling with the guy driving the silver Pathfinder, he was 4 years old sitting in a car seat in his Dad's (owner of the shop) Land Cruiser (pictured). My best friend's Blazer is a lesbian. We call her Big Blue Lou.... or Lucifer.

    First wheeling trip with the new suspension. Very mellow, just a bit rocky with only two spots where I actually had to think about what I was doing. Great views... and it snowed on us at the peak.

    Love the suspension.

    Nice, but you ran it the wrong direction :D
    Kingston Peak is one of my favorites, I've left many signed rocks at the pile on top.

    I've always hit it from the Apex side myself (all two times in the past 20 years). So I was wondering if it was kosher to run it from the Alice side.

    There were many other parties running it in the same direction.

    And yeah, I'd have placed a rock on the rock house but it was cracking lightning and half snowing when we got to the top. Decided to stay in the truck... because I'm a freakin' genius that way :eek:
