yea, I'm freaking tired of waiting for parts. I think I'll relocate my rear brake line today. anyone know if I need to mess with the front brake lines at all with the droop I'll get with the ome struts?

I thought the spacers were supposed to be here the other day but I missinterpreted the thing and they were shipped that day so they should be here today or tomorrow at the latest.. just need to wait for the struts after that

brake lines should be fine, just take them off the clip and go.  there seems to be plenty of extra flex line for the 1.5 inch extra droop.

once usps says it's with them it's outta rr's hands, i ordered my body lift and it was in canada maybe 7-8 days after the order was placed.  i was surprised after hearing all the crap about deliveries taking forever!  maybe i just go lucky, too bad they didn't ship a midget in the little box to install it too.......

well, the spacers are what usps has ahold of which I bought from boondox and the struts I got from RR and I have no idea where they are. I didn't want to be flexing the brake line all the time so what I did this morning is cut the brake line mount off the axle and tack a piece of angle iron in there. makes the brake line less vulnerable, allows it to fully travel and then some with no stress and the metal lines won't move. had to undo the clamp to lower the axle all the way so  could cut the mount reclamp and weld the piece in.

between that, my longer diff breather, and my relocated E brake lines I am 100% ready for the lift in the back other than putting bump stop spacers in but that will be quick

the ome struts are here and so are the spacers! the only problem is that I was sent strut extenders instead of camber bolts. I am a bit perterbed about it but not too bad.. if it doesn't work out it's a $20 value because they are worth more than the camber bolts. I'd rather return them and get the bolts I ordered but like I said, it's win win. if I can't get ahold of boondox about it I guess in a year or so I can add the strut extenders to my ome's, extend the front bump stops, get longer rear shocks, extend the bump stops and lift it even more!... I would have to buy or  make axle drop brackets of course. I hope shredder's reading this because that way boondox won't get shorted $20 for giving me the wrong part... I'm not really that upset. even if I put it together without adjusting tha camber it shouldn't be that bad since it's badly undercamed stock which wears my tires like crap. well, that being said, I'd really rather have the camber bolts... by the end of the month... hopefully the lift will be installed in the beginning of july

well, it's been allot of planning and it's the drivers side front away from being done... almost got the coil out before I called it quits tonight. the spacers fit like crap in the back but now that they are in they will work fine. on the front they fit PERFECT! here's a pic of the progress. still don't know what I'll do with those extenders I didn't order

Send them back to Boondox and ask for the camber bolts like you ordered.

I'd call first and sound a bit annoyed because your truck is sitting there with no way to be aligned correctly because THEY sent you the wrong part...  I've done that before and gotten free shipping, etc out of the deal.  It's true.

Looks good.  Did you use OME springs in the end?

How does the ride compare?

thanks, I used stock coils and boondox spacers. the stock struts were shot as were the shocks so it rides really nice with ome struts and pro comp shocks. you have a more positive feel of it. nice and comanding. the only thing is that it's a tadd touchy on the steering but I think that is the camber being a tad dpositive that is causing that. it rides pretty good.

Yes, that will be the cause.  If you can't get the camber correctors out of your supplier, try sales|removethispart|@drivewire.com.

I can't find the parts on their website, but, for my X-90 I bought:

5.81250K Suzuki Sidekick
Eibach Alignment - Camber Kit

$26.75 incl shipping in the US.

As the Gen2 uses the same OME struts, the same camber correctors should be ok.
