Ome lift help!

I dont think so, take the old ones off and make sure the 'cut' marks are the same, and as long as it lines up good on the strut, I'm sure you're safe. Either way you have a 50/50 shot lol.

ok so the lift is installed and JEEZ there's a HUGE difference! I love it! But one little niche, i've cranked my bars 11 turns and im about 1/2" off from being level. How much can you crank the t-bars? Thanks guy for suggesting OME lift, i love it already. Took it on a test run out on some trails last night with the nose down haha, i'll put pictures up later Since it might be my time to start a slow build thread

You can crank the torsion bars but the more you raise them the stiffer your (ride)suspension will get... You might need ball joint spacers to get it to sit level where you want.

I had the same problem when I was running OME suspension.
There's a post on here labeled "2nd gen lift" that has pics of how mine looked with the bars cranked a bit and you can tell the nose is still and inch lower than the rear.

Hope it helps

Check FOG build he has the same lift but he added the ball joint spacers and I think his sits pretty level

I have the 2" spacers from Toytec. Mine sits perfectly level. I woud prefer tht over cranking the torson bars and making your ride stiff.

would you recomend the 1.5 in BJ spacers from 4crawler or the 2 in from toytech? I know 4crawler is $100 a pair, what's toytech? I'm still running stock T-bars, could that be part of the problem too? How hard/time consuming is installing BJ spacers?

EDIT: Ok i checked prices, 4crawler is cheaper. But anyone know their shipping time frame?

BJ spacer install-30 minutes per side at the most.

Toytec spacers were $129 for the pair. Pricey, but I was able to pick them up the day I ordered them since Toytec is less than an hour from my house.

4Crawler is a good company as far as I know and I imagine shipping would be standard ground 3-5 days.

I also have 21 year old T-bars, so unless yours are somehow far more beat up than mine after 240k miles I doubt that is the issue. I do have a brand new wet of OME torsion bars going in soon though.

I've ordered from him before no problems took about 3 days I think. His business is in Cali and I'm also I Cali, I bought the front diff drop kit and panhard drop bracket ...... He's a good guy
 
Yeah my plan was to get the spacers thursday, then drive to probably S&S tire to swap the treads onto my rims then have them align it all in one stop. I feel like the time to do the swap will be more than 30 per side. So if i understand i need to remove the tire (duh) then remove the upper shock that i just installed, then remove the BJ, grind, replae BJ w/spacer and re-attach the shock, tire back on, roll? (I'm just trying to get a step by step, i've read through the link you sent me too.)

Once the grinding is done, the rest is fairly plug and play. It really should not take long. Unbolt, install, rebolt.
