OME's for 2016

What does it matter if they are monotube if they don't perform as well? What's the point in a shock that is supposed to perform better under stress that under-performs anyways?

Also, you state you want to get these to lift your truck, but why get them if you can't use them at heights to achieve a lift without killing your ride quality? If they're valved the same and ride the same as the stocks, why waste your money?

 

@Quicksand_TuRD I really like your truck. What size tires your running?

 

They don't under perform, they are monotubes. Monotubes perform better off-road, they don't get as much shock fade because the fluid doesn't heat up as fast. They just ride a bit stiffer.

And You still get the same lift height, but instead of preload the coils, get longer coils and set them lower. Same lift, less preload, better ride.

 

You have a 1999 and your commenting on a 3rd gen thread. Makes sense.

 

And your point? 5100s and OMEs are available for both trucks.

OP wanted suggestions for shocks. I was giving him a good option that would save him a bit of money. He doesn't seem to want them, so it's all good.

 

I may actually look at getting the OME kit for my truck if the ride is that much better. Is the lift dependent on the coils with the OMEs?

how much lift did you get from the 885 coils? I purchased the OME kit from the group buy on TW and chose the 885's also. Was planning to use the stock UCA with them. Not sure how much lift i will get because I hear conflicting stories. Went with 885s because I wasn't planning on adding an aftermarket bumper.

 

I'm not sure right of the top of my head, I didn't measure before. I can get you a measurement later tonight.

 

thanks would really appreciate it. I would be satisfied to get the height you got on mine. your truck looks amazing.

 

did you get the 1/4" spacers and trim packet?

 

i was told i didn't need it. I'm a total newb to all of this. This is my first truck ever the group buy stated it was a full kit.

 

I got the 1/4" spacers on mine with the trim packer. just so you know lol

 

damn really? i heard the fixed the lean issue on the 3rd gen damn it. dumb question alert ahaha so i just need one spacer and trim packer right?

 

I'm running a spacer on each and the trim packer.

 

so 2 spacers and 2 trim packer?

 

no, One spacer on each side, and the trim packer on drivers side.

 

Very happy with my OME lift. 888 springs, 90021 front shocks and removed my 3rd leaf on the rear Dakars. Looks nice and rides even better.

 

Do you happen to know the wheel specs offhand? The stance looks perfect.
