    Yep, with LR UCAs and a competent alignment technician, you shouldn't feel it wander when you drive away.

    Install the trim packer in the setup prior to installing otherwise you'll have to take it all off and do it over again. There is a reason why everyone does it and disassembling the coil doesn't take that long.

    That's what I'm thinking. Thanks for the reassurance.

    Now I'm really glad I didn't go for the 285. It would have needed MAJOR cutting.

    Good to know about the Dakar springs and oem bushings...

    But anymore help on the other two questions?

    If I'm planning on running 887 coil springs, which would be the better shock to run? N140S or 90021?

    Is the FK29 Fitment Kit needed right away? Or should I install everything and see how bad the vibe is and then order later? It is the driveshaft spacer for vibration correction.

    Here is what's in my cart right now... What do yall think?

    Not sure on your first question since I don't have 887s.

    I wouldn't do anything to take care of vibes until after you have the lift installed. There is a chance you won't have any and if you do, you want to be able to systematically step your way through fixing it. There are a few alternatives to fix vibes and the FK29 might not be the item that fixes your issue.

    Appreciate the info... Kinda what I was thinking.

    And from what I've read, it seems like the N140S is a little softer than the 90000. But I'm not sure how it compares to the 90021

    All I know is I have the 90000 paired with my 886s and like the feel of the ride. It is stiff though.

    I had the CB drop planned with the lift, but the shop over looked it somehow. I feel the vibrations at take off, but it's not very noticeable. You may feel it if you're waiting for it.

    Yes sir
    The n140s is the original front shock by OME, they're just being phased out for the new nitrocharger which is a bit stiffer. The 90000's are valved tighter than the 90021's which are valved softer and give a bit of a softer ride.

    Edit: quoted the wrong person haha... mean't to quote yotabum

    Thanks, and yes I get what part is which and why. I more meant that I can't talk about the feel of any of the others since I haven't owned them :D

    Website has me a little confused... The sku is OMEN140S but the description calls it the 90000... I think I'd prefer the original N140S or the 90021, as I like a little softer shock and don't do any high speed washboard stuff off-road.

    About to call them and figure out what the deal is.

    I would call them, this is just a guess, but I'd say they're getting rid of the n140s so that they can just have 2 separate nitrocharger shocks; the 90000 would be valved stiffer, and the 90021 would be valved softer. I would think they did this so that rather than having those 2 new shocks and the old n140s, they just have 2 new shocks to choose from
