OME CASTER Bushing Template

[Flank]

Hey guys, getting ready to install my lift, and I bought some radius arms used with the OME bushings already installed. Does anyone have the cardboard template for installation that I could either look at during the meeting tomorrow or borrow? I want to check the bushing alignment before I install the arms.

I have one. Do you still need it ?

Yeah, I'd like to get my hands on it before I install the arms - just to make sure.

You can install your lift leaving your old control arms on. Have your rig on level ground & hang a plumb bob type device & mark the old arms w/a vertical line @ the center of the bushings. Take your old arms off & use them to see if your new arm bushings are installed properly. Properly being the front bushing hole center top & rear bushing hole center bottom. If the bushing holes are rotated from center then you will be getting less than full advantage of the bushings. Don't be surprised if you don't get the castor correction you need from the OME bushings. TJM rubber 3* bushings are a much better option. PM me if you need any more input on installing the lift.

Flank, I apologize man, I went to look for the template and realized that the one I have is for the Slee blue bushings

If you use your google-fu you can find a pic of the template, adjust the size of the pic, print it off & use it. If you use the Landtank template you won't get the full advantage of the bushings.

Thanks, guys. Probably a few weeks off before I install. New Fox 2.0's got in today, so I'm pretty giddy, just need to wait to slap them on. Looking at total Frankenlift: Iron Man 2.5 springs in front with Foxes, OME Medium 2.5s in rear with Nitro Sports.
