    Think I could get a $125 out of a used set of front Billies w/eibach coils on them from someone off of Craigslist? 4wheel parts has front 5100's for $79 then I'd order some OME X springs to regain some of my lift up front.

    Man I don't know which way to go. I'm wanting to get rid of my sag but don't know which way I want to go yet. Idk if I want to just stay with Bilstein and try a different coil to see if it holds up or just spend more $.. If I order some OME coils, I can keep my Billies set to 0 instead of the .75 that they were initially set to with my Eibachs. Some stuff is just worth not trying to go cheap because in the long run you'll be doing it again. Giving the fact that I only have about $300 all together in my lift thanks to my free AAL in the rear and selling my factory shocks.

    I'm running 5100 in the front set at 0 with OME 887 coils and still have about 3in of lift with my bumper, winch, ifs skid, and sliders. You can probably get the lift you're looking for from the OME 885s, I know Bill @Bluegrass Taco ran those coils for a good while.

    I'm looking at the Mt Bachelor, it's $1300 from them and they occasionally have sales. Figured that was about the going rate, not much if any different than your tent. I have heard great things about the Smittybilt as well.

    I agree! I’d like to compare mine with @MedlinAround and see what the differences are

    But I'll have to get new leafs as well so that's $1800ish, a few of my RTT for that.

    I had 885X coils on billies @ 0". Rode great and gave 2-3/8" lift. With aluminum bumper, Warn winch w/synthetic line, full skids (aluminum), sliders, the lift dropped to 2". 887s put me back to 2-3/8".

    They've been on since February of last year. I'll get hub to fender measurements when I can and post them up, but I wanna say they were both around 22.5in-23in. Running factory UCA's as well.

    I think I may go with the 885x's. May just put em on these billies for now and set the setting back down to 0

    I saw Nik being interviewed by Tv news by Whas-tv channel 11 (Louisville) He gave an intelligent, informative comment.

    This bothers me....

    Kids his age should not have to know about live shooters at their high school. Kids are forced to deal with life or death situations far too soon. Kids deserve to be kids.... Best they do know, but It's a terrible shame violence of this nature gets so close to the kids....

    Hold him close and tell him how sorry we all are he has to endure such a tragic event. I can't imagine what went through your mind until you met up with him.

    My thoughts and prayers go out to the entire community.

    I’ll let Nik know and we really appreciate your thoughts and prayers Bill. Yes he did good during that interview. That was right when I finally got him yesterday and we headed to the truck. The news guy was super nice about it and polite and Nik wanted to do it. School had been cancelled today so we’re going to go play around Shawnee National Forest today after my VA appointment in Marion, IL. It’ll be enjoyable! And away from news, media, twitter feeds, etc!

    Since AllPro has went to :poking: with everyone. Anyone know if there's a promo code or does Wheelers usually run a sell on Dakars?
