    I'm upgrading my suspension to get a little more lift and smoother ride. Should I get bilstein 5100s and set them at 2.5" or get 887 OME coils? I'm stuck between the two

    look for some factory take offs of a 3rd gen and put some maxtrac spindals on it. for the rear you could use a aal or a new leaf pack of your choice. best choice for lift and nice ride

    Some are gonna hate the spindle idea, some are gonna hate the block idea ECT. You just need to do the homework and see what your looking for with it. Most will agree if you go cheap you will probably end up paying to do it right later costing ya more money. You just have to look at your truck and budget and go from there. I would check Headstrong Off road they have some good info to you get going. Good luck!

    do it right, do it once.

    Get the best aftermarket coilover system you can afford.
