    I am looking at getting either the OME Suspension lift kit or Bilstein Adjustable lift kit with 5100 shocks. I have been reading that both kits are really good for the cost, but it seems like most prefer the OME Suspension lift kit.

    I also really like these two kits because I am on a budget and I am trying to get my best bang for the buck.

    What are your thoughts?

    Thnx for the input guys!

    Pro Comp has a great price and was leaning towards those at one point. But def set on one of these two. Thank you for the input though. You like your Pro Comp lift?

    cant go wrong with either. have you thought about pairing 5100's with OME coils or Eibachs? thats also a very popular choice around here

    Nah I didn't really think about that. I am still trying to learn about the different types of lifts, so didn't really think about combining the two. I was basing my decisions off of the lifts kits from Toytec. But thanks for the great idea, def will have to consider that one.
