    Hi guys,

    Going to post pictures soon, I put on an OME lift with 883 springs and nitrochargers in the front and full dakar leafpacks and nitrochargers in the back. When i measure the space from the tires to the fender flares on each side I get 8 inches except for the right rear wheel, it measures 7 inches there. Is there any common reason for this lean to the right rear? I have a ranch camper shell on and no other weight in the pack. The drivers side front spring has a 5mm trim packer.

    The most common question you'll get is:

    Are you sure you put the rear leafs on the correct side? Their side specific. A = driver's side. B = passenger side.

    Check and verify correct part numbers. Even though they may be labeled for pass and driver, the 95-98 leafs were different from 99-04, or they could have accidentally thrown in a 2nd gen spring. Not that I would know personally if it would even be possible to install it.

    Both shackles are in the correct position and articulate freely?

    When you take pics, take a couple of the shackles so we can see if they are in the same positions.

    Also, when measuring, for future reference, do it from the hub to the bottom of wheel arch, as this eliminates differences in tire size. Not that it is necessary in this specific case, but in general, that is how we discuss it to eliminate variables regarding lifts.

    And welcome to TW.
