Okay folks, will be installing OME coils and shocks in the back, SAWS in the front. Pointers I've run across-

1) make sure the longer of the two OME coils is on the gas tank side of the vehicle, regardless of what the label says.

2) Spray penetrating oil on everything the night before to ease loosening of bolts.

3) Install SAWS valve facing inboard.

4) Measure before and after install to get an idea of lift.

Any other tips? Did you guys disconnect the rear brake lines during the install?
Make sure you put the Taller OME Spring on the drivers side. I have to pull mine off tomorrow to make sure I did when I installed them a year ago. either they are in wrong or they are sagging. gonna throw in some trim packers while I'm at it.

The first time I did mine they rear springs were backwards, and it was instantly noticable.

You guys look like a gang or something.

How do I get jumped in?
I know, I used to recognize everyone from their avatar, now they are all the same so you guys are like a bunch of cloned stooges now. I may be forced to DONN my special 4ROC emblem as my avatar.

People, people.....

The avatars aren't a permanent fixture, they're out in force in order to, shall we say, 'promote awareness' of the 4ROC movement.

Man, I've been out in left-wing USA way too long if I'm starting to use phrases like 'promote awareness'.

yea, I usually hear that one and being the engineer that I am, it means nothing so me and my buddy's usually just look around the room and give the"jerkoff" motion with our hands when the higher-ups start with that crap.
