    My son removed his, and is happy with it. I, OTOH, do not like the way it feels - too much sway for my taste.

    I would go with 884s. This was my truck with 884s, 5100s, and TSB leaf pack. About level.

    I could use some advice on parts for the rear of my truck: DCSB

    Armor: Steel bumper, all pro skid ifs, tranny, and transfer case skids

    Currently stock suspension, but I'm buying 885 coils and N140S shocks and Kyb top hats for the front

    I don't know what to do for the rear. I have the rear TSB that's all.

    Hey all- FNG here! I'm panging to lift my truck in some ways others not so much... I've been down that road with my Jeep which I put OME shocks on paired with a Rubicon Express kit. It was a pretty mild lift, but with the non bushing UCAs and the OMEs- the ride was stiff as hell until I loaded it (which unfortunately wasn't as often as I'd liked)- then she was a peach. I kinda like the softer Cadillac style ride of the stock sport suspension. My optimal selection of a suspension would be one that has external and simple adjustability.

    So my question to you who have the kit for the Tacos is how's the ride of the OME kit if you're not loaded with bumpers and all the extra weight of armor and a full kit for camping?

    I have same set up with armor plus sliders and tank skid, full ome kit with Dakar in rear, nitrochargers, and 885. I will be exchanging them for 886s because the front end is going to be much lower than the rear with all the extra weight.

    So for rear I'd say Dakar or all pro aal or similar, plus shocks, front I'd say 887 or 886 because you have armor

    885s with no weight is great, I have v6 dcsb, even with front bumper is pretty good. Not adjustable tho

    Do you think 885s will sit really low with the weight vs 886?

    I'm not looking for a huge lift, just a little bit more. Going toytec 1.5" AAL and OME rear shocks.

    Do you think it will be close to level? Or huge rake with the weight of the armor?

    Tagging......I'm interested in an OME lift for my '15 DCSB 6-speed. edit- I have a Snugtop rebel cap on the truck.
    Looking for the full kit with 885 fronts. Lots of talk about removing a leaf from the dakars....is the ride too stiff? I have a lake lot and carry stuff/gear frequently. Since I do things all out or nothing, I will be getting UCA's and longer brake lines for when I do this. Also thinking of losing the sway bar if it won't effect the handling too much.

    I don't think I'll ever be putting anything on the front of the truck but may consider a rear bumper/swing tire mount down the road.
