    After looking at ALL the lifts, I had decided to go with the OME setup. But after talking with the different distributors I got 3 different answers on the lift heights. I want 2.5-3" to fit the tires and wheels I like. So which height should I expect with the full OME setup.

    Make sure you get the top plate spacer to get the full 3".

    885's with no top plate spacer raised my DCLB 4x4 2 1/2" up front , hasn't moved in over a year

    1/4" top plate spacers will get you another 1/2" of lift

    Don't forget to add the 5mm trim packer to the driver's side shock below the coil mount for taco lean

    2.5 is what I would like 3 would be ok. I just couldn't figure why there was 3 different heights on the same parts. This is the first lift I have done and it is for my son. So I want it to be RIGHT. It's a double cab short bed 4x4 with really crappy factory leaf springs. Thats why I had decided to go OME to get the dakars included in the package. And it was HIGHLY recommended by most everyone on the site.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Cause all trucks are different so some say 2.5" some say 3" but realistically w/o top plate you prolly won't get a full 3". Plan to get some new UCA at 2.5" and higher lift.
