    13937753_10107521970697289_1931633486973093650_o.jpg 5100's with OEM coils do NOT have an inherent issue with "clunking".....OEM coils work incredibly well with Bilstien shocks.

    U-bolt flip kit eliminates the stamped steel bracket UNDER the rear axle tube. You get instant ground clearance. That bracket has been known to cause hang ups on rocks, in mud, etc....It takes about 2 seconds to see the value in one with an actual visual on an installed flip kit.

    OME coils on Bilstiens is an EXCELLENT way to lift a truck. The "clunk" problem is with OME coils on OME shocks.....More specifically, it's the OME shock itself that is the source of the problem. OME coils are no better, nor no worse of a choice to be paired with Bilstien shocks....They BOTH work well. Coils are coils.....So long as you don't preload them beyond their intended installed length, no issues with OME or Eibach...I do NOT like stock coils preloaded to gain lift. They work, but subject you to coil binding, harsh ride, etc....

    My personal favorite is 5100's and OME 885X's.
