    Anybody know the stock height from center of hub to fender the front end is?

    I want to see exactly where I sit right now so I can try to get back to that with springs.

    Yea I'll probably do the install next week. I have to do some stuff at work first, but then I have 2 weeks off. Install of the suspension will be easy by myself, but the bumper is gonna be fun to do by myself with an engine hoist lol

    I'm trying to order a set of OME Nitros for the rear. Most places that sell them only advertise the sport shocks, however, I found a place where you can get sport medium duty load or sport heavy duty load (keep in mind we are talking shocks here not springs). So what gives, is there such a thing as medium/heavy duty for OME shocks?

    Another question, how do the sports compare to the old style of nitrochargers? I will probably go with the sports but people say there is a night and day difference and that the new ones ride like Billies... Anyone care to enlighten me?

    This is literally the exact set up I'm looking at for 2015 DCSB. What made you go with the 886's? I'm looking at the 887's. Hopefully placing my order for all that stuff here soon.

    I got the 886 because of the bumper and I might add a winch eventually. If I recall correctly, the nitrocharger shocks don't work on the rear of a 2015

    There is some debate about that, some fit fine, others don't by a hair, and it may require grinding down the gusseted portion of the bottom shock mount to finesse them on so the very bottom of the shock tube does not hit them. I believe there are pics of this a few pages ago.
