    Been driving this set up for a week now. OME 883 coils, drakars w/ aal, & nitrochargers. Rides great. However I do have a lean which I didn't have as much before.

    What size tires? Build looks great. Lean doesn't look bad either

    Thanks! Currently on 265-75-16 ko2. I'll have to get some measurements after some more miles to see what I need to do. I've got a set of 285-75-16 at the shop. Anyone else's opinion on 285 vs 265?

    I went with full OME lift as well, and to me the 265's looked to small on the truck. I switched to 285's about a month later. No rubbing issues and I havent noticed much of a drop in mpg

    No opinion on the tires except I think the 285's would look dope on your truck.

    I run 285's minor rubbing on full lock when compressed on rt side, but it's only rubbing the plastic fender liner. I do have the pinch weld smashed flat and some other minor trimming around the plastics, just need to do a little more trimming. I do have 1.25" spacers though....

    Relentless front and rear bumpers, Warn M-8000S Winch, Relentless RockSliders, bigger tires, bed cover RTT ... and more big changes in the works.
    help please....my truck, 2004 double cab V6 TRD offroad, has relentless plate front bumper and relentless plate rear bumpers with a winch (synthetic line) and rock sliders. It usually has a bed slide, bed cover, rack, and RTT plus other gear. I like the stock ride height, but now that all the stuff is on the truck it sits a little lower. I don't want too much of a lift (maybe 1" over stock). I like the OME setup.

    Which OME springs will return to factory height plus a little with all the extra weight?
    If I get the Dakkar rear spring will I be able to maintain the same ride height as stock?
    As the gear goes on and off the bed I would like to maintain the same ride height, can airbags be added with the OME rear setup to do this?

    the Dakars are going to give you roughly 2.25" of lift. I got about 2.5" and just have the shell on as far as extra weight goes

    EDIT:
