Had a great crowd today. Included Brian, Dave Logan, Nick, Downhill, Sylvain, Thomas, Dowlen, Tom, Andrew, Tom, Ben, myself. Thanks Guys for showing up.
Thanks again Justin (Offroad Outfitters)
We got one set of springs on, the fronts will be in this week (crossing fingers) and the Sliders should be on the way and scheduled for installation next weekend.

Did you guys get shackles with the lift kit? In the last picture it looks like a new spring and an old shackle. I am almost sure that OME recommends that you at least use their anti shackle inversion kit if you want to use the stock shackles. Either way we always replace shackles w/ OME springs.
Oh and you will want to grab some longer sway bar end links (Auto Zone carries the energy suspension links) that will work for the front but the rears will need to be cut, sleeved and welded.

Michael,
To my knowledge, we did not get shackles with the springs. Maybe someone else can comment.
I will have to check out autozone sway bar end links see what we can do.

They were on the list of needed parts. I thought that they were one of the things that were going to be purchased. You really should put new shackles on with those springs, I agree with Michael.

From the OME Catalog
6: FK08 Anti Inversion Kit must be fitted if greasable shackles are not.

If someone has them I will be happy to install. Getting parts in hasn't been the easiest task these days. The front springs that we ordered and waited on for 4 weeks were shipped incorrectly and were the wrong spring upon delivery. 4wp has been great but as of right now I still need few things from them to complete the suspension. shackles were on the list but a no show to date.

Ted,
Planned working times?
Also, I installed front & rear anti-inversion shackles on the BJ last Sunday. They were stock length shackles and I got the set from SOR (to the house for ~$210 in about 5 days from placing order). It is an option if you need to turn it around pronto.

Ted,
Thanks for the info. Must not be crunch time yet... Melissa has a soccer game mid morning, so we can not make it. Congratulations on the strong turn out you had last weekend.

yea it's getting to be crunch time alright. Thanksgiving is throwing some scheduling challenges in there but we'll work around it.
Thanks everyone for the help, hope to see you in the 7th on Dawsonville

for the same reason you finish the beer in your hand, you kill the old one before cracking open a new one.
