Default Ome Lt installed!

Installed my lift package yesterday that i got from northridge4x4 as well as some spidertrax spacers and removed stock front driveshaft. Waiting on my coast front driveshaft to come in on thursday then my tires sometime hopefully sometime next week.

Well now about the install, it was different do to the fact that the package was slightly different from the one wayalife recieved. It now comes with lcas instad of upper control arms which was fine by me not a really big change. The one thing i didnt expect though was that the bump stop extensions in the front werent just push in ones, i actually had to drill a hole in the bump stop plate located on the axel and mount a bottom stop for the stock upper to contact if needed.. Also i had every tool I needed except a 16mm box end wrench, I thought i could get by with just a socket and ratchet however no, if you are doing this lift get yourself a 16mm box end. I was able to use crescent wrench for the parts i needed the box end for.

In conclusion besides having to drill 3 small holes all for actual mounting hardware not too big of a deal and the lack of a 16mm box end the install itself wasnt too bad. Since i did it all myself i thought it went pretty well.. and as others have said i concur it rides much better than stock and right now with no bumpers or gear it sits almost perfect.
