    IMO....


    -OME 912? (do I need to change springs or can I add a spacer to OME 913)

    Spacers are fine, I ran them with 33's and run them now with 35's

    -ball joint flip? (will this be needed now if I go bigger)

    I never did flip or diff drop with 33's.
    One outer CV boot ruptured right away..which is pretty normal.
    But not since..save one getting torn by a rock !


    -lengthen brake lines for new height?

    I run stock brake lines on 35's...and did so on 33's with no issues

    -additional trimming of cladding/fender at front wheels wells if needed

    Probably rear of front wells, possibly some metal removal..
    ...just a cross brace..not structural...... shouldnt be required at back wells.


    -adjust torsion bars if needed

    Yup..to achieve overall "stance" of front relative to back...that you like.
    Do THIS before major trimming..so you have a good idea whats required.
    Find an empty parking lot once lift & tire are on ...do some slow tight circles both ways..
    (Forward & reverse...Thanks tom )
    ...this will highlight rub points for normal street use.



    -another alignment when finished

    YUP!!!
