Your truck looks super beefy. I thought those were 305's on there.

Looks great man. I would love to get a TJM or custom bumper in the future.

I can tell from your third picture in the first post that you ned to get an alignment. Your camber is way off. You probably already know that.

Make sure you take it to a decent shop because I took mine to some shady spot who over-charged me and I find out that my camber had been off for like 6 months after they aligned it.

Thanks,
Well in the future I do plan on doing a 1" BL with 305's, that'd really beef it up some more.

But yes, I agree...the alignment is definately off, it doesnt wander a ton on the road, but if I let go of the wheel for a few seconds, it starts pulling off to the right. I'll just take it back to the shop I got my tires from, its a respectable place.

cool, thanks for the info. looks like no spacers for me then. what's funny is that's what i've heard from just about everyone that has done an all OME front lift with no spacers...they get between 2" and 3" of lift. I can't figure out why ARB reps say OME front coils will only lift 1.25"-1.5"...

No its definately true that they give at least 2", more like 3" though. Cause there was a very noticeable difference in the front end height after we got done with the installation....plus with both stock and OME front coils sitting next to each other, the OME is several inches taller---which makes it a pain to compress into the control arms, but its all worth it haha. You may loose .25" to maybe .50" of front lift if you add a TJM and after a few weeks once the springs have settled...but its nothing noticeable. Good luck! (BTW, i got my OME kit from Strapp22 - Great guy) .

Skip it, if it's not rubbing all you're gonna do is end up with one of those geeky looking rigs with the tires sticking out of the fenders... IMO it looks really lame, and it spray's the piss out of people in other rigs... if you were running 35in + tires, I could understand the width, but right now it looks great IMO, probably one of my fave NON-Gen1's yet... really clean lines, and a great stance to boot.

Cheers

I've thought about it but im affraid I might get myself in some akward angles without having the swaybars connected...Im still tryin to figure out the limits of what my runner can do, as far as off-camber stuff goes. I've always been told that its easier to roll your rig (if you dont know what your doin) when you have the swaybars disconnected?
