    Never enough
    So it's almost time to pull the trigger on a lift for my 2015 Double Cab OR. I'm definitely leaning towards a 2.5" OME lift and just wanted to hear the community's opinion on best site to buy the lift. Doing the whole shebang, front and rear, Dakar leaf pack, UCAs, etc. There's a ton of sites out there and the prices are comparable across quite a few. Who has best customer service, shipping costs, complete kits, etc?
    Thanks in advance for the input!

    I’ll be putting in an order for a full OME kit as well within the next couple months. Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road has been great to talk with. Everyone I have seen on TW recommends them.

    I bought from Headstrong Offroad. Marie went the extra mile to help me by answering all my questions. I've also placed orders with Wheelers Offroad, they're great as well. Cant go wrong either way

    Wheelers off-road is right there in grants pass. I've ordered from them multiple times with no issues.

    Depends if doing the install yourself or having a shop do it. Guys above listed the order and do it places.
    I am old and too hot in FL so had 4wheelparts do all of mine - they have all the parts, tools, lifts, and do alignment so was easy decision for me. I used 5100s in front with stock springs and they set them up twice for me to look at to get the correct rake with the rear Dakars.
    Just a lazy mans option.

    Thanks for the advice everyone! Didn't realize Wheelers was literally less than 5 miles from my house. I'll be stopping in to talk to them for sure. Headstrong looks like a great place to purchase as well. Appreciate all the input

    You live in grants pass. Get them from wheelers. They’re literally up the street... you could probably just pick them up.

    Not to mention they’re great to deal with! Got my OME setup from them and it only took a day or two to receive it. AND you get candy!

    If you're in GP then you gotta use Wheelers, and if you need them installed you gotta use Mike's Toys.
