    I just have front shocks that will lift the front end an rear shocks. You would need to get a leafpack or blocks(not recommended) to lift the rear an upper control arms for a good alignment.

    Yeah, I picked that up... just meant I thought my process had me boiled down to 6112/5160 vs Stage 2 and now OME is back in the mix!

    Ultimately it's a question of WHEN to spend the $$. Still have $1.5K plus install on my bumper/winch/lights to hit the books, Toyos are starting to wear thin and was planning on upgrading tires to bigger Wildpeaks when I need new treads (soon) but can't do that without more clearance. Committed to working with @Texoma but Triple-C isn't super convenient to get to so fewer trips is preferable. It's also my DD so road ride is important. Now I'm back to contemplating just going with the spacer lift for the time being to put some distance between expenditures and save some peace at home...:confused:

    Makes sense the ome 886 coils are designed for the heavy weight of the armor. Ride was good up front the HD dakars make for a stiff ride I recommend the medium duty dakars for a good ride.

    It's a process. Pull the bed off. Have to break the leaf pack down to a single leaf. Cut the old shock mounts out and clean the area. Weld in the top mount. Jack the axle up one side at a time and measure distance to full compression so that the shocks have no chance of bottoming out. Tack in bottom mounts. Flex test to be sure nothing rubs or contacts shocks. Reassemble leaf pack. Put bed back on.

    Fox is another option that is in line with the 6112's

    Gears or flex, the age-old question.

    I was thinking the sane thing the other day when I was asking about improving travel in the rear. I'm thinning if I can improve rear travel I could get less front wheel pickup

    Some HD hangers an longer shocks will really improve the flex. Something like a billy b-100 has a extended length of 26-27in ome is 23.
