    should I go with :

    Ome shocks and coils 888 with Dakar’s

    Bilstein 5100 888 kit with Dakar’s kit from HS hat comes with carrier bearing and ss brake lines

    Bilstein 5100 888 with uca and add a leaf from HS no carrier bearing or brake lines but I could add those separate if you think it’s recommened.

    Bilstein 6112 combo. Haven’t done much research on it but heard good things.

    All 4 kits fit in budget. Bp51 is a little too pricy as much as I want it. I also plan to put 285 70 17 on and I plan on doing ecgs bushing too. I will mainly be daily driving hardly off roading. Looking for reliability and durability.

    Why lift it if you don’t go wheeling just curious? You’ll end up spending a lot for it to ride like factory or better. Once you start it’ll never end just my opinion. Good luck

    OME has never failed me and seems to be what a lot of people are happy with,

    ^^this is what im running damn good for the cost and since I got the leaf pack and uca's out of the way, I can upgrade to kings or ADS in the future with very little issue.

    Save up for BP51. Those shocks are sexy and will be on my truck in a couple years.

    Yea I was leaning heavily towards this kit. How much lift did you get from it with 888 at 0 and how much did it say? What tire size are you running too?

    I don't remember off the top of my head. It was on a second gen but it blew up and leaked oil pretty bad. I think it was 90000s with whatever the 660lb springs were.

    Which kit did you get from HS? Which dakar's did you go with, medium or heavy? I was looking at the 5100 kit they have. Didn't know it came with the carrier bearing and SS lines though.

    If you put the 5160s in the rear, you don't need to do the extended brake lines as they have a relocation bracket included.
