Wow, just about everything you've done to your rig are the things I'm planning to do to mine as well. I'm also planning on 33x10.5's, OME springs, crossover steering, etc. I'm glad I found this thread!
Did you need a body lift to clear your shock hoops?
I believe you said you have 5" shackles on the front. Do you have 5" shackles in the rear too?
Are you happy with the OME's so far?
Sweet rig. Keep up the good work!

I guess you are fine with the dropped pitman arm. Nothing seems to be hitting the springs, frame or oil pan.
Some people doing small lift or no lift run the straight pitman arm. I saw a bunch of those builds with RUF and even stock springs, no lift, using crossover hi steer and a straight pitman arm.

Sorry for the super delayed response...No body lift, shock hoops clear body(barely) and yes they are 5" shackles all around. The OME's are unbelievable smooth and work great on the trail.

It looks like you're using the factory mounting points for your rear shocks, is that correct? Just gettin' ideas for my rig for when I finally get to working on suspension.
I'd be happy to come up to your area for some wheeling once my never-ending project gets finished. Looks like you have some fun trails.

Waiting to finish the paint and then installing my OME lift. I bought stock OME shackles, bushings, shocks etc. I'm worried about getting crossover working. You put 5 inch shackles to make it work for your rig. I wonder if I can use the same hardware ARB sent me and just get longer metal plates??
Any driveline angle issues? Did you use wedges?

Nice set-up man. I am planning some of the same modifications to my 85 SR5...but first I need to do the brakes, suspension, some front end work, some steering work, etc., etc.,....
I guess thats why it's called "my project"! Any ideas for a front bumper or are you just going to leave it the way it is?
