Default One of a kind DII Suspension setup?

Alright guys....some pics to come very soon.

Ive ordered the parts and only half has come so far but anyway here we go;

I already have:

2x 751 OME Springs
2x 781 OME Springs
2x EE 1" spacer

What I ordered (from RTE and EE):

1x rear spring retainer kit (EE)
4x DI spring seats (give .75" raise and eliminate slack for spring retainers)
4x Biltsein 7100 remote res/long body shocks (custom valved, etc., RTE)
1x Slickrock front swaybar disconnect kit

And accessories;

-RTE ABS extensions
-RTE extended brake lines
-Biltsein shock reducing spacers
-RTE front lower shock mounts
-RTE cross member spacers


So...what do you guys think?? Insane cheap bastard approach if you already have OME springs......I want SR springs but they will have to wait...for $60 I just bought new DI spring seats and called it a day.

....any questions, comments, etc.? Btw....is this the first setup of its kind??


I will use this thread to post the upcomming pictures of the installation and comparison pictures.

How long are the RTE ABS extensions? I got some from somewhere else and they are WAY too long and a PITA to stuff and secure all the spare wire.

Alright guys....time to add some pics.

The shipment with the shocks came in today. Here are some pictures of the shocks, comparisons between the long body and remote res shocks and some shots of the slickrock quick disconnects.
