Thoughts?

 

If you do the 3" lift I think you'll also need new UCAs. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

Get UCA's for the 3" lift

 

Yeah the 3" OME will definatley get a UCA, but i would probably not with the 5100's @2.5. Is the 3" worth the extra $500? Purchasing tonight!

 

I would go OME over billies at 2.5 myself

Plus the LR UCA's from Metal Tech

 

The setup I just installed:

OME 885's: $190
Bilstein 5100's: $200
1.5" AAL: $70

Total: $460 + tax

Didn't need new uca's, alignment was well within spec - but this is a 2.5" lift, not a full 3"

 

What are your alignment numbers?

 

I can't remember exactly, but the caster was 1.2 I think (a little lower than "ideal"). The other two were just a hair over zero. Truck drives great though, nice and straight and no wandering.

 

hey man, where did you purchase this setup? and how was the install?

 

I live in BC, Canada, so just some local suppliers (north shore offroad).

 

Hey dude. Deff get the ome kit. I just ordered my ome kit from toytec today and cant wait to install it. I also got the ucas from the group buy. They told me the kits are same and will feel the same but for a true 3 in and not have to have a bigger spacer i got the ome. plus the ome has a smaller spring rate then the eibach kit so softer on rides. More money for the ome but with the tc discount its not that bad. with the ubolts and axle shims and dif drop and kit, there was only a 70$ different between kits with shipping. Get the ome like me. Post pics when installed.

 

Make sure you use the tw discount. I almost forgot on my order lol
