Default Cincy Mod Party in the next few weeks anyone?

It is on it's way! Pulled the trigger on an OME HD kit with spacers and Nitrocharger Sport shocks and JKS track bars. Installations are fun when shared by many..especially if they know what they are doingWho wants to have a mod party in Cincinnati? I'll supply the beer! Oh and I have standard tools as well.

I have been running the OME for 2 years and its great! If Cinci wasn't so far away I would be there with tools to boot.

It seems like a really straight forward install. Let me know if there are any watch outs!

I think the sports are different than the LT's if you have the long travels there is a lot of things to do.

If I remember right the only pointers are keep the sway bars disconnected and the track bars off that lets the axle drop fully and the springs slide right in. Watch your break and ABS lines at full axle drop. Then pick up a heavy duty ratchet strap from TSC $17 if you don't have one this allows you pull your axle back into place and hook your track bars back up. If I remember correctly about 3/8" longer than stock will get you very close.

Don't mind my resurrection of the thread. Just wanted to shout out to Cincy peeps. Riding a 2010 2dr mango that I picked up a few weeks back.

Haven't done any mods yet, mostly doing some comfort stuff first. Power Locks, cruise and the such.

Lift installed last week and it rides great. I got about 3.75 inches out of the lift. I will be in if anyone is having a mod party in the future. Lot's of fun.!

Cheers,

Chris
