    The same shit everyone else has.
    I’m hoping a little cab mount work and I’ll be fine. I’d like to avoid touching the pinch weld.

    What is your lift and is there a link to the CMC? I have read about it and would like to get mine up more and do 285s also next.

    I did some stuff.
    My lift is OME 886s (I have a front bumper and winch), OME nitro struts, taco lean spacer and for the back it’s OME Dakar leaf pack and Bilstein 5160 shocks

    There’s a video on YouTube on how to do it.

    I had to beat mine down. But I coated it in flex seal and now with normal wear and road dust it looks natural

    Nice. My wheels are 8” et-10. Hoping with the alignment cams pushing the wheel as far forward as possible I don’t need a cmc.

    What kind of gas mileage are you getting with your 285's?

    Did you not like the 5100s or what was the reason you swapped?

    I did some stuff.
    I haven’t done the exact numbers but I know if I fill up Sunday evening I can drive to work (25 minutes one way at 55mph+) and home all week and not need to refuel till Friday. These trucks aren’t known for MPGs especially With the V6 and 4x4 but I would assume I’m getting around 16 on the hwy and around 14 in town.

    The 5100s are great don’t get me wrong but you can’t use their lifting function when using OME springs, actually you can but the ride quality is complete shit. You can use the second notch with 885s and be fine but I installed a front bumper and winch which meant I needed a stiffer spring for the extra weight. So I upgraded to 886s. Most vendors do not recommend using the 886 spring with anything other than OME nitrocharger struts. It’s something with the valving inside the 5100 that can’t handle how stiff the 886s are. There are photos I’ve seen floating around of the base rod for the 5100 bent over or shoved up inside the cylinder. That being said you are free to use what ever comb of the springs and struts you want but I don’t recommend it especially if you go off road like i do.
