Removed front suspension and attempted to assemble new springs, but due to the heavy springs I had ordered, our compressors weren’t working on them. Ended up breaking four spring compressors trying them. Had to get them professionally assembled on Monday for us to install.

Removed rear suspension and installed the new OME (Old Man Emu) suspension. No problems with the rear install.

Amy was nice enough to lend me her Nissan “Jacked” Titan to drive to work on Monday since my truck was still apart.

Had a shop assemble the shocks and springs for the front suspension and successfully installed them in on Monday night.

Here’s a comparison in front bumper height between my FJ and Amy’s.
