lift finished w/ pics
I finally got to install my lift this past weekend. Friday did the rear (OME hd springs, comfort shocks) and front install of SAWs.
Saturday I installed the diff drop kit and adjusted the SAWs. I ended up level w/ the rear w/ 1-7/8" of thread revealed.
Today, I had the alignment done and took my first test drive. This is so much better than stock, better ride and handeling and it looks bad ass
For tires I got 285/75/16 duelers.
Last Id like to thank everyone from yotatech and 4x4wire for thier input and advice; w/ special thanks to Mike (x-treame) and Schaefer for the great service and parts.

Im not 100% sure but I would guess 2-3" in the rear and about the same in the front. I didnt take ant measurements ahead of time (I dove right in without thinking) but Ive been told that the OME hd springs give you close to 3" but w/ only 1-7/8" of thread on the SAWs I may be lower.

The suspension is stiffer, so potholes are a little rough but handling esp. cornering is much improved even w/ a taller stance. I havent been off road yet so I nont know about usable travel., but I def. have more clearence.
