    Have you looked into Bilsteins? I had 5100s on my old 2nd gen prerunner and liked how they rode better than the OMEs. Also, my OME rear shocks weren't long enough for the Dakars

    The struggle is definitely real. It's like being grounded and watching through the living room window at all the neighborhood kids playing outside.

    I see what you are saying. I ended up getting ARB air locker in the front when I switched to 5.29's mainly because of price and hassle of opening everything up again. I already had an air compressor installed in the truck and didn't wanted to pay extra 400 or 500 for selectable electronic locker because I do have electric factory locker in the rear.

    I have also been looking at the bilstein 6112 coilovers, same price range as OME.

    not long enough? huh. I'll start researching that. Thanks for the heads up I'll see how it goes with Twizted's install we both got 2015. @Twizted you got dakars?

    To clarify - they should mount up, but they're going to be the limiting factor for rear travel off road

    To add to what Danny is saying. If you don't limit strap them they won't last long if you off road a lot. Because there too short . If your carefully and go slow probably not an issue.

    Ordered my BAMF sliders during the Black Friday sales. 25% off, saved some change. I think I’m going to be getting all my armor from him. Mainly because he’s a few minutes from me so I don’t have to pay hella for shipping.
