Looks like you guys had a fun time. I will be installing my OME lift this week hopefully.
Any tips for me ?

Here are some tips we learned:
The easiest way to thread the front coilover out is to remove the two lower ball joint bolts (the ones without the cotter pin). This will allow you to lift up on the spindle while pushing down on the lower a-arm. Then a coilover will fit through the space between the cv and tie rod. You have to remove the front front sway-bar to do this and it may take two people.
Also be very carefull putting on the top rear shock bushings on the driver side. If you drop one, it can roll down the frame rail into a hole in the frame. This happened to one of the guys and it took almost an hour to fish it out.
You can use two spring compressors to remove the stock springs but we used three for the OME springs because of the higher spring rate.
