I'm thinking that I hope you have 400 bucks for new CV boots. Assuming you have someone do it for you.
You'll see. Time will tell. Do you know what droop is?

Steve, do you know what's the worst to expect from this reversed install? Should I be handling this immediately (like tomorrow before work) or do I have time to think about doing it like next month or something?
Thanks!

The Bilstein Cup goes down and the OME cup goes up. If you put the OME cup down you will not get any lift.

I wouldn`t think it would hurt much for the time being and just staying on the road but if it was me I would be jacking it up at sunrise.
You must also be doing this
because that really sucks when you think you got it and later learn :cry:

If Brian's cups were down, then maybe that would explain why I had 2" or less lift w/ 882's and no winch.... Hmmmmm...

Schaefer... Do my boots look to be at too much of an angle??? I thought they looked fine compared to some that I see on the boards.
As for droop, Im guessing I wont have very much. That sucks.

Someone give me some stock measurements of clearance and I'll see what I really have.
Its funny, but, after all this time with the OME setup on, once I added the cornfeds, I honestly have the best ride I've ever had.

Unfortuently I have no job and no money, so I guess that wont be for a long time. hah.

Do you realize what you have stacked up there:

2 1/2" of lift from the Spacer
If it's an 881 1 to 1.5" of lift.
So you must have at least 4" but more than likely 4.5". Jack the front up and see if it droops at all? Seriously.
You have some weird VooDoo there if your not getting these numbers.
