    Yes.
    somewhere between 1000 and 1650, I'm not sure exactly because it was some 24 bottle cases, and some 36 bottle cases. It was only riding about a quarter inch off the bump stops.

    Stock 3 leaf (including overload) an a 2" wheelers AAL.
    Dakars are in my near future.

    Yes.
    Three inches of lift in the rear is a lot, unless you're also looking at longer travel shocks back there

    I was looking into getting bigger shocks as well as extended brake lines. I want the front and the rear to go up 3 inches from stock

    Yes.

    This is just about 3" up front, with a 2" AAL in the rear on 31" (265/70R17) Tires
    It's almost perfectly "level"

    You said no more than 3"

    and you can leave in your factory overload for more height , like it says in the description

    Dakars are about 2.75" of rear lift I think. With empty bed.

    @tacoma16 Negative, I thought the shaft was walking on the top hat. I removed everything and reassembled with new bushings & spring isolator. everything was cleaned properly so no dirt/rust. I have a felling the LCA is the corpirt, but man WTF I have 20K on my truck..!! Any other ideas..?

    On the shock, yes goes "Clank" over speed bumps faster than -1mph that's normal, I know that..

    @Flowin Ok, can you elaborate a bit..? Do you have a picture or diagram of the bolts..? Give you an idea, if I go over a speed bump one tire at a time, at the moment the last tire goes over I hear a "thump thump" on the pass side. It's like if the truck was flexing and something was loose moving in and out of its place.

    @mouse007 i can't see it being your lca with that little miles. If you look under the truck there are a couple cross members that are bolted in place. One is right where the cross over exhaust pipe is holding the transfer case. 4 bolts there. For the transmission it is slightly behind the fender cab mount I believe. I can imagine there being 4 bolts there too. Not exact there.

    @mouse007 I can't say for sure, but it's definitely an easy option. Tighten up some bolts and your laughing. However I can't see the frame flexing that much over a speed bump to cause the noise. Ya never know though.

    Thanks to all for the info in this thread. I ordered up a full Ome setup with 885x, dakars, trim packer, drive line drop and lr ucas. I need to grab some center pin collars in case i need shims. After install I'll decide on bump stops and extended brake lines. I'm excited to get these oem rear leafs off the truck, whodathought a snug top would work so well as a leveling kit!

    How often does the "over speed bump goes clank" happen? I just got a 2015 DCSB and was gonna get the OME, but really don't want that. Does this happen to all OME lifts? I'm debating whether or not to get the Fox. I just want to do it right, but wouldn't mind saving some money.
