    Sorry if this has been coved.. I scrolled through the show me thread some but just have a few unanswered questions. Some areas talked about longer brake lines, shims for angle driveline spacers ect. What's really involved with installing the OME LKS kit?
    Will the ome lks kit level the truck? Or do I need spacers?
    I got front and rear springs and shocks with the kit.
    I read the rear springs being called Dakar, are there different rear springs.
    Just stuff like that. Thanks in advance.

    3" lift EIBACH coils w/ 5100's front, OME/ Dakar leaf springs w/ toytec adjustable shackles at 1.5" and 5125's out back. 33x10.5x15 KM2's Relentless DIY steel bumper.
    Not sure what "LKS" stands for but the OME suspension is a great setup it just depends what coils you bought? 880's will level the front with the rear and probably put you a little nose high. If you got 881, 882, or 883 then you'll need some rear lift to match the front unless you like the brolean

    Thanks for the replies. Lks is the light kit hks is the heavy kit. I got 880 because I do not have a bumper or winch.
    So Dakar is just what they call the rear springs ok thanks. I thought maybe there was standard and Dakar.
    So with the Dakar rear springs and 880 up front should it sit level ? I hope

    Probably gonna have some rake. The dakars give about 2.25" of lift for 1st gens and the 880's give about 1.5" lift after settling (from what I've read). If you want it to sit level with dakars on the rear then your probably gonna need 881's to give the 2.5" lift needed to match the rear.



    Example...

    I have eibachs which give me 3" lift up front. I also put the dakars on the rear for 2.25" of lift. I was sitting perfectly level with this setup.

    Never mind the fake tires and wheels in this^ photo, it was a photoshop effort.
