Has anyone used a spacer lift kit with a OME lift kit already installed ?
I think I seen one for sale like that curious how that worked

started putting 4link on, had to leave it, didnt think it would take this long. The driver side arm is in, passenger side doesnt line up on the body end, need to move the entire body towards the passenger side to get it to line up. Anny suggestions ?
Would be WAY too much lift
think about it, OME 927s give you 2.5 inches of lift add a spacer lift of 2.5 and you have a lawn ornament
NOW with that said, the Frankenlift is sortof kindof like that
Reason why you get over 4 inches of lift when new

Common occurrence, just shove body over a bit
Ratchet straps or have a big friend push on the body.
Can also put jackstands so the rear axle is just off the ground at full droop. Put a dolly under each rear wheel. This will make it easier but I was able to do it with a friend pushing on the body.
feet pushing to one side :happy175:
tried the feet thing and not even close haha. ill have to mess around with the jack, then try having a buddy push, then rachet strap if all else fails. I have 4 inches of lift in the back and the arms are at 17 3/4. Seems a little short compared to what ive heard but i buess well see

Got my official notice regarding the rear lower control arms.
Haven't actually driven it all week as I am swamped by work and spending the rest of my time stripping and sanding my deck.

They have a link on the recall notice for a reimbursement program for those who have already replaced them. Worth a look, I would say.

Me too. Maybe when I take it in I can bribe one of the techs into disabling the damned TPMS system. Tired of dumping time and money into it.
jack under the pinion got the other control arm lined up. Both arms are at 17 3/4 inches, seems a little low for 4 inches of lift in the back but the short test drive i did seemed fine, felt good over rr tracks and way better on take off/stops. Only got it up to 45mph but no vibrations.
Instead of ordering a shed I ended up building one with my gfs brother. First time for both of us.
16x12ft and probably 18-20ft tall. The town kept dicking us around on the permit for the 20x10 shed I wanted to order. They also wanted a 3ft concrete foundation for anything over 200sqf. Glad we went this route as I have way more workshop space and the 2nd floor will be all storage. Luckily they did approve my permit for a sub panel so I can have 220v for my welder.
This is why my lower control arm build has been taking so long.

Replaced the upper control arm on the rear. Nice and quiet now.

As long as your pinion angle is good
