Default Northridge OME Long Travel Install Question

My OME long travel kit from Northridge just came in, and will be intalling it one weekend coming up. I feel comfortable putting everything on, but the adjustments scare me.

How difficult is it to dial in the front control arms, and the F/R track bars? I'd love to be able to allign it myself, but also willing to pay 4wheel parts in Raleigh to do it for me.

Thanks. I have both of those bookmarked and have read through them several times.

The kit now comes with lower arms instead of upper, so I suppose the same process for castor just on different arms?

Yep, just reverse it.

Front Uppers:
Shorten to raise caster
Lengthen to lower caster

Front Lowers:
Shorten to lower caster
Lengthen to raise caster

the lower arms are even easier to install and adjust. in fact, if you set the length of them to 23" eye to eye, you'll be good to go
