    Nice set-up congrats! Are you going to get UCA's or run with the stock control arms? Also did their kit come with u-bolt flip kit and extended brake lines? Just curious because I have front coilovers/rear springs/leafs and don't have UCA's yet. I bet it'll look and ride great with those.

    I will do the install and see if I need the UCA's immediately or not. If I don't I am going to not push the budget and wait a month to order them. The kit came with extended length u-bolts and rear brake lines. I will post some pictures as soon as I get it installed. I need to schedule some time with a friend who has a vehicle lift to make this easier then installing in my driveway.

    This is the contents of the kit I ordered:
    Bilstein 5100 adjustable front struts, your choice of OME coils, one 1/4" top plate spacer the drivers side lean, RCD/Bilstein Extended length rear shocks, OME Dakar complete replacement leaf spring packs, extended length u-bolts, OME carrier bearing drop bracket, bushings/sleeves for shackle side of leaf pack, and 24" SS rear brake lines.

    What was your reason/decision going for the OME 2887 coils!?Still trying to determine myself what coils to invest in the future.Congrats on the @HeadStrong Off-Road purchase!:thumbsup:

    I did not go with the 886s because I don't plan on running a plate bumper/winch setup. I am thinking about going with a hybrid like Pelfreybilt and they are only 100 lbs and a winch. The 2887s might sag a little up front with the setup but not much and should hold the extra weight not problem. However, if I am wrong, I will buy some 886s and install later down the road when I get the bumper/winch combo. That might be next year though, poor man budget here.

    Appreciate the info!I have no plans on running a plate bumper(front) so the decisions on coils in the eventual future are decision that i'm still trying to determine and understand.I have Pelfreybilt front IFS skid already installed ,mid skid and sliders to be installed soon.Plan on a standard rear bumper in the future!Pelfreybilt is just simply a class act!

    We do offer the uca's as an option with our kit and the majority of clients end up needing the uca's when they run the 887's (depending on the overall weight of the truck and any add-on's that it may have). The kit does come with the extended brake lines since we include the RCD/Bilstein 5100 rear shocks. We do not have a u-bolt flip kit as an option yet but hope to in the future.

    Yeah I remember that but sometimes I can be hard to keep it all straight since there are so many options.
