OME lift w/ BFG's (pics)

I installed the OME 885/895 combo as recommended by ARB if not intending to go with a winch, and just the ARB bumper in a few weeks. I installed using only the instructions i found on here. The living post thing was a great help. I had a shop do the spring compressing for $56. It took me about 6 hours to do 95% of it by myself. Installing the new front coil springs was a a real hassle. Turning the wheel all the way i have no rubbing ( i will have to see about full turn while articulating though). If you are questioning whether to do it yourself or have a shop do it for 500-700 bucks, if you have the tools, jack stands etc. needed, just do it yourself.

Before (stock, dog likes to wander around):

OME medium/medium installed (not near as much rake):

Can someone tell me how to put the images in the post and not as attachments, i know it makes them easier to view if that is the case...
Need to have them hosted on the web somewhere like photobucket.com and then once uploaded there just copy the IMG code and use the image button above and paste the copied image in the tray and the picture will be in the post.
Hope this helps.

And, since you're now using PhotoBucket, you might want to select the "Message Board" size (640 x 480) as your upload size. Anything bigger than that will display a picture on the screen that requires repetitve sideways scrolling to see all of it.

640 x 480:
