OME lift

OME lift
I got on the phone with Tony today and talked about getting a lift. He was very helpful and walked me through all my options, giving pros and cons of each. After a thorough discussion, I opted to go 2" with the coil set-up on the rear, rather than the spacer "trick the suspension" route.
The order is in and I can't wait for the parts to start showing up!!
I chatted with a local off-road shop about installing the new shocks and springs. They wanted $90 per corner. Does $360 sound a little steep for this installation?

RE: OME lift
$360 is about right for a shop installation.
read this. doing the installation yourself isnt that difficult.

Right, will do! Here's the before with the running boards, and after I removed them. I'll put in the after with the lift as soon as it's done!

RE: OME lift
YES!! All installed, and it is GREAT!! The rear ended up a little over 3 inches higher, and the front probably 2.5. After pulling off the running boards and installing the lift,it looks a lot more like a truck now rather than a soccer mom vehicle .
Of course, now my dash is all lit up like a Christmas Tree, but I have an appointment at the nearest Land Rover Dealer (115 miles away[:@]) at 8am tomorrow toget the Computer reprogrammed to understand that it is now riding on coils, rather than air. That should clear up the warning light issue. They quoted me $90 for that.
I will post some pics as soon as I get them loaded onto my computer and resize them.
