Sale pending. @hatterasisland If for some reason it falls through, I would be willing to help arrange shipping.

Update: talked to Kurt and bought the OME light/medium kit including shocks, u-bolts and bushings. Using my stock shackles and pins, and based on what I'm reading, plan to grease the heck out of the shackles/pins/bushings as I put it together. Mine is a late-model '85 and so has the thin...

Do you always have to replace the stock brake lines when installing an OME kit, or only if you are lifting more than the standard 2"?
