just finished my OME lift weds nite. learned a few things that i thought i'd pass along.
PB spray every nut, bolt, screw, and clip you even think you will remove.
if a bolt breaks when you are taking it loose, don't use an easyout it won't work, drill and tap it, use a plasma cutter to get the easyout out if you do.
use a strut/spring compressor on the front, Auto Zone has one for $35, didn't have to take anything loose but swaybar and shocks to get spring out and in with 1.5" spacer lift.
make sure that all hardware is in the boxes before you start.
check all bolts after you finish twice.
anybody else with more please post.
