    Just curious if anyone is running this setup. The local off road shop suggested fox 2.0 coil overs in front and blocks in the reAr. I don’t want anything to do with rear blocks. I was thinking about the front coil overs with rear emu setup.

    I’m leaving towards just full OME kit with leaf pack. My question is, are the fox coil overs that much better than the OME nitro charger and 886 springs? If anyone has pics I’d appreciate a look. My truck is a stock 2015 trd 219F99EB-7754-4464-997D-57D8333E0DC2.jpg

    The fox shocks are valved differently and are rebuildable. Nothing wrong with running fox in the front with a ome leaf pack.

    Cool thanks. So it’s worth the extra couple hundred bucks. Here is the quote

    ARE Z-series shell, ImMrYo mirror lift, always on fog-lights.
    I would be more concerned that those 2 quotes don't match up very well. Why are they charging for a "complex wheel alignment" on the OME side when the alignment will be the same for both of them? Also why are they charging for a driveline spacer on the OME side but not on the other side, again you will have the same need or not for that regardless of the kit that you choose. Also tacking on an additional hour for the OME side. It seems like they are trying to pad the OME side to try to get you into the Foxes and spend more money. I'm not saying that anything is wrong with the products, but rather seems like the shop might be questionable.

    Well he did say they are a fox distributor and I showed him headstrong off road because he wasn’t familiar with OME. Thanks for the heads up, I think I’m just going to buy the kit from headstrong and shop around for a place to install. It’s tough pickings in my area, the shops are few and far between. Everyone I know went to that shop to get work done.

    K & N filter, 275 70 17 Cooper AT3, OME Nitrocharger shocks, 884 Springs, Dakar leafs.
    I would get the fox shocks so you can get them valved the way you want and rebuild down the line.
    When you order some shops can get them custom valved right away.
    I had the OME lift now I have fox 2.5 with the dakar leaf springs.

    I look in the regional section for your local threads.... host a mod day.... pizza and beer could go a long way or you can find a good local installer or shop.
