Default Northridge stuff on!

I received the last piece of the puzzle (my LOD bumper) and finally got the OME lift, Warn winch all mounted up. The bumper came crated up nice and safe which was awesome compared to heavy steel products I've ordered from other vendors which come in cardboard only and usually tore up! Took about half a day for everything but well worth the result! Had to give props to David at Northridge for the package deal.

Smokin' rig dude. Looks like you don't have any droop from the additional weight up front. That's great.

Thanks all, the OME ride is so much nicer, nothing but coils and springs. I didnt notice much if any difference in the axle centering and I have yet to check the toe-in but the alignment feels ok to date but I will be checking it in a day or so. They're was almost no difference in the positioning of the steering wheel and if anything I'm being overtly critical of any changes trying to anticipate problems. The hardest part was getting the bolts to do a license plate mod so it attaches to my roller fairlead when on-road.
Overall worth the money and the driveability. My WJ was a mess with a 3" lift and I waited not wanting to ruin the factory ride lifting but now I'm glad I did. Without the rake it looks night and day different, turns heads now! If your on the fence like I was there's no point in not making the leap.

That is really nice customer service having the winch installed on the bumper upon arrival. Its generally only a few bolts but it really shows care for the customer.

The parts all came in seperate, I had to mount em' up. He made me a deal as far as buying the combination of items. The winch came all by itself in the WARN box which was well perpared to handle anything the UPS guys could throw at it
