I've done the "basic" OME lift shocks and springs. I did not install the front upper strut spacer however. I wound up with a 2.5" lift total with the front having the same basic chassis attitude as stock (lower nose). Doing this resulted in my pinion/T-case output shaft angle to be out of whack. The rear pinion is about 4 deg out, upward. I am considering installing the front plates, with the thought that perhaps this could correct for the angle offset a bit. Or, alternatively, install the JBA Y-Link extension as is allows for a bit of adjustment of the pinion. This all came about because of some funky vibes about 75mph. Also found out my T-case was shot and installed a new one (my diff guy did anyway) Thoughts?
Another thought entirely is going big and doing the bolt on 4 link...???
Also, is it necessary to pull apart the entire front end (like doing the new springs/shocks) to install the upper plates? Or, is there a quick "easy" way to get those plates installed?
