    Oh well then excuse me...


    Tell me. What rear OME shock do you have??????



    Oh right...none...ever..in your life.

    Gtfo

    :luvya:

    Hell yes I do. You're getting a new bigger shock (and hopefully new eibach coil) vs relying on your shitty stock stuff that's almost 15-20 years old.

    Yea..Id be willing to bet money that new 5100s are a hell of a lot better then any stock shock.

    I run OME on one corner, Bilstein on another, Icon on the 3rd and King on the last.
    Gives me the best balance between price, performance and reliability.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Hopefully next group buy will be around Xmas so I can talk my girlfriend into getting them for me. Even though she hates my truck. says I love the truck more than her. Lol

    This, you'll use the sliders before the skid, if you take the right line at a reasonable speed. Plus you at least have SOME skid protection, albeit weak, whereas you have zero protection on your rocker panel. Jump on the next RAT group buy, been really happy with the quality of mine.

    Yeah... Sounds familiar :) she is warming up slowly. Mademan925 gave me some good advice on how to get wifey on board with truck stuff... It all starts with a special lady day... Or month depending on how much $$ you are spending :)

    For sliders your guys recommend bolt on or weld? Most likely would be going with demello they have U brackets for their bolt on and require 1 hole to be drilled. believe the bolt ons are strong enough to lift the truck with.

    I've never really welded before but my friend has a wire feed MIG welder I could use if I go weld on.
