    Also, if I order the OME shocks for the front and rear, should I notice a softer ride? Any opinions here?

    Also, I plan to order the Boot kit:

    Also, I am considering this kit:

    Is anyone running the above brake line upgrade? Opinions? If I order this, I will probably have a brake shop install.

    Thanks - Bart

    So how long did it take for you to get the springs? I am hoping to get them sometime next week. What will the bump stops do for you?

    Well, they (rockyroad dudes) were fast on the e-mail replies but I ordered on Feb 28th, and they were delivered March 21st. But they had none on hand and were waiting on a truck or something.

    The extended bumpstops will hopefully keep the wider larger tires from rubbing the inside fender or outside cladding. Basically under flexing the larger tires would hit and rub on stuff and the extended bumpstops will stop them on up travel before the tires can hit and rub anything, hopefully. Zeus and others have done this and worked well.

    Energy Suspension Part # 9.9104R (for red ones) - "Designed with a large reinforced metal plate welded to a mounting plate and molded-in. 4 1/2" tall,
    2 1/2" wide. 2 per set" Evidently if you do this all you have to do is take off the old bumpstop and mount and seperate the two so you can use the stock mount with the new bumpstop. Zeus has photos of this: http://www.vehicross.info/gallery/sh...37/ppuser/1999

    Cool, thanks. Hopefully I will get my 912s quicker! What size tires are you running? I am going to go with 265s I think...

    Yeah I was planning on doing what LDub did with the 33x12.5 Nitto Mud Grapplers, on 20x8.5" Zinik Z26 (Chrome with black insert). I have been running 285/60-18 with no lift and if I was going to stay with the stock rims, which I talk myself out of everyday, I was going to go with 285/65-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. I just know myself well enough that if I don't go big, I will go home and wish I did. Go big or go home (and order bigger).....
