OME lift install on '97 Runner

Hey all,

Anyone have any suggestions, or links to installation instructions for Old Man Emu coils and shocks? I'm about to do the install myself, and I'm a pretty handy guy under the hood, but I like to be thorough. Any hints as to what to look out for (DANGER, do not undo that bolt!) before I go at it?

Also, I'm thinking of going with 1.5" front and rear, heavy in rear and medium up front. Any issues with switching it up like this?

Thanks all, you people rock!

My experience with my install. I also installed coil spacers, so disregard that info. Your install will be MUCH easier without the spacers.

Diff drop would also be a good idea:
