    Hey guys i am wanting to know your opinions on what is the best way for me to get more travel in the front. At the moment i have OME 885 coils and stock bilstiens. Whats is my best option for getting the most travel possible without doing a full long travel suspension. Coilovers? New UCA? Also looking to get a couplle more inches of travel in the rear. Thanks

    I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure just getting some OME 9000's should give you a few inches with those 885's?

    oh I did not notice the stock shocks part. IDK about inches but you might get an 1" or so and UCA's might help as well. There is no getting more than 3-3.5" or so from a 4x4 with just doing springs and shocks

    Longer axles. It's more than feasible to get more travel. Hell even AllPro has a LT kit and a few other companies too for the 4x4's.

    Right but, just giving an example it's not that limited. You can also go mid travel with Fox's too...

    How much travel from those? Any side affects for the front axles with that much travel?
