SAW Help!
I just installed the panhard, the OME´s, and the SAWs. On the Saw´s--From the top of the rim to the bottom of the fender flare(the black ones on the SR5 with 16¨) is 13.75¨ I only have 2" of thread showing--I also have a TJM up front. Does this sound about right?--if not what should the correct measurement be?

I think you need to crank it a little more, somewhere between 2.5-3 inches of thread showing to get 2 inches of lift. If you have the bumper on it, it will pull it down a little more, so you have to adjust it for that too.

That may not be the case with his SAWs. I thought the newer SAWs came with a stiffer spring that kept you from having to crank them as much to achieve the amount of lift you want.

Thanks for all of your help--I´m now sitting at 14.25¨ up front--this is with 1.75¨of thread showing--I measured in the dark last night--and was including the ring in the measurement! So I would guess I have around a 2¨gain. Thanks for clarifying that the new springs are stiffer. Now I just need to get the diff drop installed along with the 285´s. I guess that will raise me up a bit more. The stainless brake lines are amazing. Thanks again for your help.

I´ll be happy to--I just moved to Mexico and all of my stuff is packed including my camera cable--I´ll get them posted by midweek. I just took a drive--the lift is fun--Mexico has lots to offer! I can´t say enough about the stainless brake lines--For $85 all the way around--it should have been my first mod! The wrench is still included--its cheap but it works well.

These guys are great--they shipped them the next day--there are two different styles depending on the model of 3rd generation you have. http://www.aor4x4.com/braidedbrakelines.htm:)
