Thanks...

I tried searching for the instruction online but couldnt find any...
Yeah I have them on my work computer. I can email them to you.

Got a question about the older 3" OME HD, bought at Northridge so it has teraflex LCAs and whatever else Dave's experience has led him to put on, Im running 35s but at highway speeds it wanders a bit, nothing major but I noticed no front stabilizer. Would that help or is it designed for a hi steer kit? Also, slightly too stiff for my pot-holed town, would it be wise to change shocks or are coils the cause? Sorry to hijack this thread but I saw some experts commenting.

Thanks for any help or suggestions

Check your castor if it is wandering. Should be approx 4.5 positive.

Too stiff and OME are rarely ever used. Normally the complaint is the OME is to soft , responds to slowly.

Thanks Ill check it out after work, I have the HD version without full replacement bumpers so maybe Im too light but could you recommend bilsteins or an upgraded rancho shocks or are the stiffer coils the culprit? I understand a straight axle jeep on 35s will bounce but my lower back has been suffering

The Hd springs are very close to the same spring rate as the standard coils just the HD coils are taller.

If you want to change shocks I would suggest Bilsteins.
