OME before/after pics *LARGE DL*

but NOT tow rated!
I know some people pull little M416 trailers or the like with them. This is probably OK, but it's not really rated for anything AFAIK.

don't want to try to pull a 2000 lb+ trailer with it

Looks sweet - I also like the sliders - how do you find the 'decking' - something my wife would like.

FWIW, sig. line indicates home built on the sliders.

Looks sharp and functional.

*decking* is just 14 gauge diamond plate
the outers on the sliders (that the diamond plate is on) are 1 1/2" DOM tube.

NOW: trail test report!

SO... my friend and I headed out to the mountains tonight to test out the new lift and psudo-fixed CDL indicator switch.

WOW!

These new springs are AWESOME!

I was NOT expecting this big a difference in the ride and articulation!

the 80 now goes over the rough rocky trails like a caddilac! Smooth as silk! none of the jarring and shacking that I used to have.

also, I got it crossed up real good a couple times and was totally amazed by my new droop and articulation!

On top of everything else, it drives much nicer on the street! (ride wise... I still need to do caster )

I'm immensley pleased!!!

Nice work!

put on my OME lift over the 4th. I'll post some pics as well, once I get some new tires. Hopefully they'll be in this week, but right now it just looks silly.

Anyway..... try it now....

Good job Chris! I like the look a lot better with the lift with those tires and now it looks like trails should be a lot more fun with the OME suspension. Love those Trxus MT's, and nice rear bumper as well. Thanks for the pics.

Chris, where did you buy the lift?

 

[nyk438]

I thought the OME lifts were higher than 2.5''
