    ...too much shit to list.
    Arguing between OME vs 5100's is like arguing Fox vs King.

    They are both quality products especially for the price you pay. It boils down to personal preference.

    :eek: you say that like its a bad thing.

    the only time I really appreciate my suspension and the slow compression of the shocks is when I'm falling off of rocks
    do you already have the shocks? if not go OME nitro chargers. I wish I had and I know of a couple of members who changed shocks after a year or so because the 5100's were too stiff

    I went 5100s with 881 coils and Wheeler's 5-packs in the back. I have found it to be a balanced ride, some might say stiff but I like it and so does the wife. Also I find this combination to be very compliant in slow speed rock crawling.

    Of course my old shocks felt like I was driving in jello.

    another thing to consider:

    The 5100's have a nice zinc coating that resists corrosion.

    The OME's are just painted, so if you live somewhere where they use salt on the roads the paint on the ome's will not hold up well.

    Doug, what kind of skid plate/shield do you have on the front? I like the way that bumper looks, and it looks like your license plate is just on a p iece of sheet metal or something?
