    OME up front, Dakar in the back, Elite front bumper, Warn winch, Tactical rear bumper with tire swing/jerry cans/hi lift, Revenge Fab. sliders, Tundra brakes, Camburg UCA's, Safari Snorkle, FJ TRD wheels, Lights, CB, Switches, skids, LED's... OH MY!
    Hey guys

    I have a full OME 3" lift (heavy springs in the front, Dakars + helper leaves in back) and it's pretty new.

    I put my elite front bumper on and winch and am not that happy with the amount of sag I'm getting.

    Anyone add anything to a 3" lift to get it back to lifted status when weighted down but still maintains the functionality of a suspension lift? I do wheel this thing.

    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Wait, did you get the 886 springs in the front? Pics of your setup and issues would help.

    Yes the 886 heavy duty springs... issue is it sags more than I like... it's closer to stock height with the weight of the bumper and winch than it is lifted.

    Not sure what you want a picture of... just looking for suggestions on not terrible lift stacking options

    Any lift stacking is a bad idea.

    Do you know how much the bumper and winch weigh?

    Probably in the neighborhood of 2-250.

    Yeah I know stacking is bad but didn't know what options i had ar this point considering the OME setup is as beefy as it'll get

    You have an 04? I thought that the highest spring rate for those is 883 or 884(?)

    Your springs are probably defective. Mine were, that being said, to get ome to warranty them will be a pain in the ass. You'll have to dissemble your struts and measure the springs. Then call ome, who'll send you a new set overnight.

    I'd order a different shock with a 700lb coil if it were me, it's the path i took.
