    About to pull the trigger on a rear suspension order and would like some advice/review to ensure that I have everything I need, and nothing that I don't. My truck has approximately 300# shell and racks with a current rough country lift with 2" blocks. I plan to remove the blocks and do it right, hopefully without the rear sag.

    This is what I plan to buy. Please take a look and give me your comments.

    OME DAKAR EL095 medium leaf kit
    U bolt flip kit with bump stops
    Bilstein 5125 rear shocks
    Driveshaft spacer
    Spring bushings

    Fuck thats a good price.

    To be clear you need more bushings and do the springs and shocks come in pairs for sure?

    I would suggest the wheeler bump stops while you're at it if they sell them.

    Exactly the setup I have on my 2015 dcsb with my ARE shell except for the U Bolt flip kit.... not sure about that one.

    i didn’t need the driveshaft spacer and have zero vibrations. I did add 5125’s to the front with
    885 springs at the same time.
    I’m happy with it.

    Shocks are sold in pairs. Good catch on the bushings. The u bolt flip kit comes with bumpstops.

    Do you have bump stops? Do you mean 5100 shocks and 2885 springs on the front?

    No bump stops, and yes 5100 shocks and 885 springs on the front. Sits level and rides good with the lift

    I just didn’t need the extra clearance in my neck of the woods so no flip kit or bump stops

    Ok. Here is my updated cart. Look like I have everything? I went ahead and added front shocks and springs. I also removed the flip kit for regular bumpstops. Screenshot_20201127-225458_Chrome.jpg

    Looks good but the bump stops say the wrong year.
