    I've got a 4th gen, can use heavier applications than the 3rds. Few my Asian buddies I ran with had 3rds also.

    Might try the 700s and lower your preload, try keeping front a little lower to add/control the wieght for a DD mode.
    Not having the v8 these OME 886s gave me 4.5" in the front, why I'm a little ruff.

    Oops, glanced at your profile picture a little too quickly.

    I'm sitting at just under 2" of peload right now. Would like to keep it there, or less, after adding all this additional weight so I think 700# will get me there.

    I know a decent amount of people have run 4th gen shocks on the 3rd gens for longer stroke lengths. I plan on outboarding my shocks instead. Been talking to Milo at Milo Fab to try and get that ball rolling

    Yeah I should transfer my build thread in the profile.

    If you need help with things, usually off on the wkends, might be able to get some of these Taco guys to help.

    Also, try the haggis and black pudding at a good restaurant. I thought it was really good as long as you don't think too hard on what it is.

    Haha, yes it was one for the records. We crammed so much in, I still need to finish writing down what we did each day before it starts to get fuzzy. At least cell phone pics helps with that.

    Blame Americas tire for the excessive amounts of shine. It was rather funny watching the noob there try to mount 285's on a 7 inch wide rim. Even his co-workers were dogging him! :rofl:
