    All right guys please help me decided between these 2 suspension upgrades:

    Option 1: Front-Bilstein 6112s, Light Racing UCAs
    Rear-Bilstein 5100 extended travel, OME Dakar Pack, extended brake
    lines

    Option 2: Full OME setup with 887s up front, Light Racing UCAs, Dakar pack,
    Nitrocharger sport shocks

    Price for both is pretty damn close so $$ isn't the deciding factor here. I don't do any crazy off-roading, just weekend wheelin or playing in the mud.

    Ha ha nope! I'm 96.4% sure it's going to be one of these 2 setups though...

    Option 1! I think the 6112 rides a bit better than OME, although if you can get a chance to ride in trucks equipped both, that would be the way to do it.

    I'm leaning toward the 6112 setup a bit because I would hope that huge shock would ride better than the OME.

    Option 1 was right at $1800 shipped. Option 2 was a bit cheaper. Installation not included.

    literally on the exact same fence, the only reason why i havent pulled the trigger on the 887 is i have been reading about the whole "suck bang" sound it makes over speed bumps. after watching videos it seems a bit violent. i want smoooooth

    I believe headstrong offroad (a TW vendor) sells them.

    I have the TRD OEM version of the 6112s and really like them. Though they are valved differently the Baja Pro setup I have pairs them with a 650lb coil, the Pro pairs it 600lb coil. The OME coil is 580-590 I believe.

    I haven't purchased anything yet. Probably going to with tax return in a few months. Option 1 is probably going to be my choice.

    I think there are a few pics floating around on TW somewhere. For tires I might actually go with 255/85/16. With these I'll still get the height of a 33" but get better MPG since they are skinnier. There are pics of guys with 255s on here and they look pretty good ... plus no trimming! :)
