    Anyone ever dealt with stiff coilovers. Specifically OME 886s. After 3 years, it doesn't look like they are going to smooth out, and getting jarred by potholes and messy roads is getting old.

    Mine are sorta stiff still, I think I finally got used to them on mine. You could always try the 887's, they ride like the 885's they're just taller so you can keep the lift with all the armor on the truck.

    Yep, one day if the money tree gets some fertilization I'll look into it. I have notice that if I drop the PSI in my tires down it helps a good bit on the stiffness

    My ICONS are stiff, if you want plush you would have to get them custom tuned. Like Chris said I deal with it and figured I'd use the money elsewhere, like more armor

    Why in the world are you running load E tires?

    They are great for sidewall protection but 99% of your driving is on the street. Your just making it rougher on yourself!

    I was thinking along those lines. New springs aren't much, but maybe if I just slap a bunch of armor on it the ride will smooth out due to all the weight.

    Same thing here, not alot of peeps make that size so you have to settle with the E rating. It is a nice peace of mind know the sidewalls are so beefy though. I've got chunks missing out of mine and there is still plenty of meat left.

    Armor helps alot. I noticed a big difference when I got my ifs and tranny skid on.
