OME 2.5" Heavy Lift is On

[Polak]

Thanks to everyone from the Hoosier Cruisers that helped out. And a BIG thanks to Carl & Outback Offroad for the shop space, tools, rear lower control arms, etc....

The lift was a used OME 2.5" Heavy. I don't have after market bumpers so I netted more lift, until I start adding all the new goodies, later.

Here are the result shots:

Wow! That netted you ALOT of lift! I am going to have to measure mine to make sure I'll still fit in the garage after the lift. Looks good.

Vibes and caster?

Vibes and caster?

No vibrations and handles fine. I did install CC bushings, well, kinda. The front arms (and actually the rear since mine were bent) from the donor went onto mine with the CC bushings installed already, rather than doing a bunch of pressing.

Wish I would have known you were doing that. I would have joined in on the project. Looks great AJ.

Looks great!

What's the story on the EB?

How do you figure that when there is nearly an 1.5" difference front to back. Look at his measurements, picures are almost always deceiving.

I suppose, I guess that confused me. Mine looks like it's waiting to take something..... nevermind.

Wow! daytime pics of the rig are looking great. I like those tires too!

Looks awesome! You got a lot of lift out of those springs too! What kind of wheeling do you do to upsize to 35"s?
