Going to stick this here for future reference for mainly me. But possibly Nick, or anyone else running ORI's.

Thread has a lot of useful info on adjusting ORI's as well as vehicle specs and how the shocks reacted to what they did.
I plan to get Nick to come over next week with his tank and help me play with these things a touch. Mainly lower ride height. It was a little firm riding at Gulches IMO, so I may play with the dampening a touch also. From the looks of it, the pressures on the low side should be pretty much spot on for the weight of this unit. May do some more adjusting at OSCAR if it doesn't act like I want it to. I may not screw with it too much until OSCAR though because we all know Gulches is not a place to tune shocks. It's gotta be the roughest place ever.

My ride height took 275psi to achieve. My dampening is set at 90 and it is very soft but still has a smooth transition into the hydraulic bump. The hyd bumps are also adjustable although I left mine in the pre set position as I barely get into them with my rear crossmember being in the way for now.
There is also a dampening screw that adjusts what sounds like would be the valving in a coil over (for an example)
From what I am reading the Rebound is adjusted from the bottom. And is semi adjustable by that screw.
The compression is adjusted from the top cap and is internal. You have to drill holes for less than stock compression or put a cap screw in for a firmer compression.
On a further note, they apparently run antifreeze in the upper cap for fluid...interesting.

Everything is pretty much done less the end cap on pass side, new lower heims to replace bushings on axle side, and the tie in to the ram mount. Should be all finished up this week.
Still waiting on body armor and what not from the paint shop. Hope to get that this week. Then next weekend play with shocks and put all armor an stuff back on. Then it will be picture time then beat down time at Oscar.
Pics don't really show what I was after but there is about 6" of room at full stuff. Shocks have about 3.5" showing still but the bottom out point on an ORI is still 5/8" of shaft showing. Needless to say, there is plenty of room for up travel. Should be no issues with interference.
I'll try to take some legit non camera phone pics when I get it completely done this week.
