    Just picked up my truck from the Shop and it is all lifted. Had the complete OME lift installed complete with the following:

    Dakar Leafs
    CB drop
    front rear shocks
    885 coils
    New light racing upper control arms

    All I can say is wow. She rides waaaaayyyyyy better than before. Seems to glide over bumps now as apposed to the more abrupt impact I felt previous. I put about 60km on them today testing them on the highway and on one of our industrial park roads with a fair few pot holes. Rides way better than before with ZERO vibrations.

    Next up some new tires which will be next week.

    Thanks to everyone who addressed my questions regarding lift and tire questions. I have had alot of them.

    Here are some pics.
