So I got my OME 2.5" installed yesterday. First off, not to piss those of you off who've already drilled the holes above the rear shocks, but I've got to say if you invest in some PB blaster and a set of ratcheting box wrenches, it is entirely unnecessary to drill. I didn't have a cheater pipe to put on the wrench but I'm sure that would have made it even easier.
On to the questions. I indexed my new torsion bars into the same spot the factory bars were. When I started cranking down on the bolt, I turned it just a little deeper than where it was on the factory ones. I noticed my CV boots are now leaking grease. I DO have the slee diff drop installed so I'm very puzzled why they are leaking.
I talked to Christo, who advised that I should have at least 2" of droop when the wheel is lifted off the ground and if I have any less than that I need to release some tension from the t bars. I did such and now it seems like I only have about 2" of lift in the front.
1. Why is this?
2. Did the rest of you who installed the same kit measure your droop?
3. Is it more important to have equal droop on each side or equal ride height?
4. From the outer fender lip to the top of the wheel cap is 19 3/16" on the front left, and 19 3/8" on the front left. To anyone who has this lift and still has their wheel caps on; do those numbers seem about right?
