    True........but I still find it funny how many folks think the 5100's are a hardcore shock. A friggin 45 mph pothole popped my passenger side 5100. Haha

    yea i've decided to go with a full OME setup to replace my 5100's that i have in the front now. They have about 15k miles on them and they have gotten extremely stiff and the ride sucks. Hopefully by this summer i'll be able to get the 600 bucks together to get the 881s, nitrochargers, and have them assembled by wheelers

    Don't forget to check pricing on OME products at Cruiser Outfitters. They usually have some of the best pricing, and nobody can beat their customer service.

    I'm running 882s with a 10mm trim packer up front, rear Dakars with no AAL (yet) and 1.5" over stock shackles from Allpro and I'm running 33x10.50s. If you want 33x12.50s you're gonna need to do some pretty serious trimming.

    I trimmed my flares a little and modified the pinch weld and so far so good.

    where's the best place to get an OME set up from? complete

    i need all new shocks, front coils and and new leafs (along with misc hardware)

    my rear shocks are blown and it's scary to take corners with any speed unloaded

    i don't necessarily want a lift but 1.5" would be ok

    what's the best leaf pack to go with?

    Posted this already. Check with http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/
    They can get you every OME part that you will need and their pricing is really good.

    i'd go with option 2, as you have a v6. the fronts will settle some, and you'll have a good ride. you planning on any hd bumpers?

    both cruiser outfitters and wheelers have just about the same prices. Cruiseroutfitters assembles them cheaper, but the coils and shocks are slightly more so it comes out even...

    no, not planning on a bumber any time soon, but the HD kit says it can handle it

    if not, i could always swap the front coils down the the road if i got a steel bumper

    I'm using a 10mm trim packer for a Jeep JK. Works great. CVs are ok but not great. I have diff drop.

    so that goes in between the coil and the strut top???? i want one for ontop of the whole assembly... still adds lift but doesnt change the coil rate or ride quality.
