All, I’ll be doing a full OME install next weekend! Shout out to @cruiseroutfit for supplying a comprehensive kit and great support, thank you. I’ve listed key topics below, please let me know if there are any other gotcha’s that I might have missed.
Springs
1. All fasteners have been pb blasted over the past two weeks, everything seems to break loose.
2. Fixes side spring pins are stuck, I’ll be cutting them out with a sawzall.
3. Springs need to be installed with arrow pointing to fixed side on truck.
4. Rears are both marked O so can be installed on either side.
5. Fronts are marked + and O, + goes on passenger side.
While I’m in there
1. Replace all soft brake lines
2. Wire wheel and paint U bolt plates
3. Inspect and paint frame spring mount points
I think that’s it!
Any feedback is welcome.
cheers, James
