    Great looking truck! What size wheels/tires? You've got the exact setup I'm working towards.

    I'm amazed how many VAG owners there are on here. I've run into quite a few people from Vortex posting on here.

    Thank you!

    SCS Stealth 6 (Matte Gunmetal, 17x8.5). The tires are 305/70/17-mfg says they are 34.1" ;)

    Thank you!

    I have to count myself as a former owner. As much as I've enjoyed the Audi's I've owned, I just never drove them enough.

    Thank you!

    I have a Shrockworks bumper. The rear hasn't happened yet. Soon though-I am trying to decide between a couple of the local TW vendors.

    After having the OME lift on my truck for 30k miles I finally took my swaybar off yesterday. It's a night and day difference! The on road handling is still great. The potholes that used to jar the truck don't even phase it now. I can't wait to get out on the trails and see how much better it handles.

    I took mine off today and have experienced the same thing. I got the 886 OME and is has been so stiff. Jarring at every pot hole and riding super rough offroad. It drives so much better now. I am aware of the alleged "roll" problems:homer::tinfoilhat: but are there any potential strength or alignment problems?

    I rode in Colinb's truck a couple of times and his truck does roll a bit more than I would be 100% comfortable with, but it's not something that you couldn't learn to handle.

    The 886's on my setup provide for a much more stable ride. I've tossed it around a couple of corners like I did before and noticed just a slight bit of lean, not enough to call roll.

    You're good on the strength part. We haven't removed any of the structural elements from the suspension.

    Yea i have the 886's as well and it drives now like it did when i had is stock. it was so rough with the sway bar. Good to know that it will not effect the strength at all. Thanks
