Good list, are the front shocks and coils preassembled or did you get a new strut mount and will have them ready to go in?

Good starter list but without knowing what brand / which springs hard to say if thats what you need.
IF OME 927/948 combo then good to go, but what shocks ?

They are coming separate, so I will have to assemble. Do I need a new strut mount, or asking because of the spring compressor? Have the spring compressor, so hoping thats why you ask :gr_grin:

Take to a shop to have them compressed, never do it with those cheaper small compressors
Use your old top " strut " mount

Tom,

Going with OME 948's and OME 927's.
Teraflex 3" bumps up front.
Shocks, havent fully decided still
Energy Suspension isolators ( tops and bottoms since I have 145k and never been replaced ).
1/4" top plates from JBA.

Actually though that just brought me to a question. Tom, would you know the thickness of OEM rear lower and upper isolators? The ES ones are 13/16th. As discussed in PM's I wanna be level or as close to it. Thanks

OEM iso's are about 1/2 inch thick

Wish I had a hydraulic spring compressor! I used the ampro,I think was the brand. They worked fine but you always feel close to death using them! lol

 

[Zero402]

Just order the shocks which made me think of another question.

What length bolt are you guys using for when you installed the 2 hockey pucks? I don't know the thickness of the spring pad. Thank you.

2.25 inch long bolt
regular bolt, no carriage bolts etc
HUGE PITA to remove if you ever have to when using a carriage bolt
spring pad is not that thick, so 2.25 is plenty long enough for lock washer and nut on the bottom

Buy one now and it can pay for itself over the NEXT ten lifts installed.
