I have the OME lift installed (along with the Slee diff drop... but that's not relavent to this topic) and I am looking at the gain in height. I used the 866 springs. I still have my stock 275/6R18 tires on, and I have yet to get the front end aligned (gonna do it after I get this solved and my new BFG AT 285/65R18 on).
But what I am noticing for a lift is (measuring from the ground to the lip of the fender well)
Before lift FRONT 33 3/8
REAR 34 7/8
RAKE 1 1/2 (rear-front)
After lift FRONT 35 5/8 (+2 1/4)
REAR 36 1/2 (+1 5/8
RAKE 7/8
So I went up 1 5/8in with in the Rear and the Rake change leveled out more to 7/8in with OEM T-bars.
So I have several questions you all might be able to help on:
1) What are/were your stock numbers, more importantly your RAKE as its all that should be constant regardles how one measures the lift as long as your consistent. What Rake numbers are you running with after the lift.
2) What kind of lift in the rear do you see with the OME 866 springs. Like I said with nothing else done, same unloaded vehicle (hell even the same amount of gas) I got 1 3/4in ... not the reporte 2 - 2.5 I have heard/read about.
3) My front is up 2 1/4in, the CV angle looks mild with the Diff Drop... what are other people doing.
4) I am installing a ARB Bull bar in the near future (gotta get painted waitingfor back ordered fog lights etc...) but once its on I imagine I will have to adjust the T-bars again to get the same lift back... anyone do this how much did the ARB Bull bar lower the front?
Thanks all...
