no worry's at all Steve.NVSteve wrote:Thanks for all the info, Ash. When I had the suspension installed, I told them to install the old dust covers, per Blinks experiences. It didn't even dawn on me until you asked me about them, after which I ran outside (love the September snow) and took a quick peek. Sure enough, no dust covers. I could see that from the photo I posted, but I just had to check the other side as well. So, I pulled out the boxes with my old components and took out the dust covers, which are a Rancho red in color-good thing I'll have wheels hiding the clashing colors. And that washer that the dust cover attaches to seems like the key to my problem, so it'll be an easy fix. And a free one since the installers messed up. Had I not been so concerned with my trip, I probably could have rationalized that I had no dust covers.
So, false alarm...for now. We'll see what they discover on Tuesday.
Forget that. I'm staying inside where it's relatively warm (need to fire up the furnace most likely), going through the million pics or so I took from the last 3 days. The snow isn't sticking to the ground in town, but hopefully it is in the mountains. If it clears up tomorrow, I'll take a few snaps of the mountains & post them here.V8Pathy wrote:good to know it was an install problem.
how about some pictures of UT early snow
It has been great around town. I still don't notice any difference between the OME and the Rancho I had previously. The only difference has been better response going over ruts, bumps, potholes, etc. The OME just tackle such things with ease, whereas the previous springs & Rancho shocks would bottom out and bounce a bit...pretty much over anything. I also have zero complaints with highway driving.Fofiddy wrote:So of all you OME converts out there: How would you rate it for a daily driver? all around comfort and long trips?
Hell yes. If you have to replace the shocks anyway, may as well replace the springs while you are at it.I'm almost at 50k and it's time for the scheduled shock replacment. I gotta crap or get of the pot on this one.
Go to ARB's website and look up local dealers in your area. I bet most of the places that carry these will have similar prices. The killer would be the shipping, as some companies gouge people more than others. I bought mine from these guys: http://www.rocky-road.com/Who's found it for the cheapest, where?
Still got to mount them and align the SOB
Pretty sure I've mentioned in previous posts where I got mine in this thread. It's in there somewhere.Fofiddy wrote:Who's found it for the cheapest, where?
