Guidelines Needed for OME suspension install on 95 4Runner

My suspension parts just arrived, OME Option2/Gen2. I'm pretty stoked about getting everything in there, and seeing how it rides/looks. Anyways, I'm a competent mechanic, but would like some guidelines, maybe some links to other posts about the install, I know I've seen them, can't seem to find them anymore...
Any tips would also be awsome....

Thanks alot...

I just had mine done this summer. I had it done at a shop for 100 bucks so i thought let them deal with the pain. It rides a lot higher and a lot nicer. My folks live in Sicamous, maybe I'll see ya on the way through.

Mine cost me $65 to get the HD rear springs installed. Then another $65 to have the HD removed and medium springs installed. The HD springs are too hard unless you carrying a heck of a load. You'll also have do a panhard rod drop or one of Schaeffer's longer rods. The HD lift will pull your axle far enough to one side that your tire (driver's side if I remember correctly) sticks out of the fender well and it'll be twitchier on the highway. The mediums are now perfect and work without the BJ spacers. You wouldn't believe the terrain they've seen and only dragged butt once (with a full load of well sampling gear, camping gear and three total passengers).
