    Honestly, not sure. I read on some other forum of other users who have gone from 5100's to OME kit and appeared to be much happier with ride quality. Now of course that's just their opinions and up for interpretation on comfortable ride. From what I have seen, there is only $100 difference in price between the 2 packages so not sure which is the right one for me yet.

    The 5100s are more of a lift than an upgrade. The OME is an upgraded suspension and I feel was much better than stock. I get compliments often how nice it rides. Well worth the cost.

    No, not at all. Sometimes less is more.

    I'd also be curious if there is any substantial difference between the Headstrong leafs and the Dakars.

    So the 5100 kit offers more height than the same spec'd OME kit? How much more?

    That's a great explanation to help me better understand. Thanks

    The OME’s have a slightly larger shock diameter then the Bilsteins

    OME lift, Light Racing UCA's, Leer Topper.
    Just ordered my OME/Dakar medium kit today. If I add the 1/4 spacer on top (1/2" lift), will I be level or still have some rake front to back?

    I put the OME 10mm on both front struts today with the trim packer on driver side. I’m .25” rake roughly judging by my eye. My cv boots touch barely so I’ll be sliding them further down the shaft to fix the rubbing

    That's a great reference guide, thanks!

    Yea, unless someone has a real strong argument for the Bilstiens I'm sold on OME/Dakar.

    Your truck looks fantastic, especially with the copper Ray10’s! Sorry if you’ve already answered this but did you have to CMC for your lift + 285’s?
