Well, it was freaking hot in Austin on Sunday, but I was able to install the OME lift on Penny. I don't have the rear loaded down yet, but she sure has some stink bug going on.

I have a drawer system that I need to put in and will eventually get a rear bumper.

Be sure to retain a MINIMUM of 60mm droop up front. If you're going with the AO drawers and a rear bumper with swing arm you'll sit just right after these are installed.

I really like your LC's color alot! ;)
 
I installed my OME heavy this weekend too. I used the 866s and netted about 2" in the rear. I was hoping for just a bit more, but overall very happy. What springs are you using? So far the ride is really nice. I will post some photos in a new thread soon. You have any measurements of before/after?

Looks great!
 
That looks awesome! Man, that is high in the back.
 
I was thinking of cranking up the front, but I adjusted them to 2" over the stock measurements of 19" and 19.25" (center of wheel to fender). Maybe my stock t-bars were not cranked up to begin with?

This setup rides extremely nice. It's firm, but not harsh. Does not wallow like it used to and my 65 mph vibe is gone.

The rear springs are 864's.

Me...I usually carry a ton of stuff when we go on trips and wanted the extra capacity. We'll see how she looks when I load the drawers and fill them with crap.
 
Yeah, or the AO rack light brackets! :flipoff2:

This is Amerika Dan, let's speak in inches around here..... :D
 
Looks damn good, and I agree, that ranks up with white as best color (US-spec)!
 
Looks great David. I like that color too. Mine just happened to be the Thundercloud Gray..... I like the 'Mocha' however... :D
 
I see an Inti Roof Rack in the background....... :D

Dave,

just get a cabinet, a fridge, a trailer, a 24 gal Aux tank, a rear bumper, and some camping gear...trust me, you'll have no more "high ass end" issues:grinpimp:

Brett, that looks like a TON of weight back there. I hope my 60L Norcold and drawers dont' weight it down that much.
