    Looking to replace my OME nitrochargers they have served me well but are about done. I was thinking Ironman or dobinsons as well as OME again or Bilstein. Not looking into reservoir style shocks since I dont want to have to rebuild every few years. I dont 4x4 hard but spend a lot of miles on dirt and mountain roads.

    Thr Nitrogas or IMS from Dobinsons would serve you well. They're both super long lasting and no ride complaints.

    What front setup are you running?

    I have bilsteins up front w coils, standard 2 inch lift. I have the ironman leaf pack also which gives me 2.5ish lift.

    Do you think the IMS is worth the extra cash? Im keeping this truck forever and dont mind spending money but if Im not gonna notice with typical driving(i do drive a lot on rough mt roads a lot) the lower cost pair look great.

    Twin tubes are pretty much gone with the dodo for offroading, no idea how OME still does twin tube but I'd strongly suggest only monotube like the IMS.

    The dobinson looks on par with Fox 2.0's, it only shows a long travel monotube for me on their page?

    I've run twin tube rears and now monotube bilstien and it makes a big difference on gravel. If I did more than 30 mins of gravel regularly I would run resi's.
