    The 888 OME coils suffered from the tiny CBI front skid and sliders :rofl:

    I'll be upgrading the fronts before a bumper.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    what is radflo? just fyi, if you are going with reservoirs in front, make sure the mounting system plays nice with whatever bumper you plan on getting. i had trouble with the brackets icon provided because they wanted them where the front bumper was bolted. RRs also take up space. without RRs 265s were fine lock to lock on stock wheels. nowhere close with RRs.

    to be honest, i dont think i would do RRs again. all they are for is cooling, which we dont need with our kind of driving

    It's a newer American made company, I've seen some impressive reviews. I would still use a king coil, because they do not have their own coils. We will see when it's closer to time. I want rr so I can run the hell out of it.

    Did some more :sawzall: last night. Along with a bfh I think the 285s now clear the back of the wheel well. I need to pick-up a heat gun to clear the front a little more.

    I cut 5" up from the bottom of the inner fender, cut the pitch weld even with the inner fender and bent it over. I cut the flair on the inside of the well almost straight down. Last, I cut the cab and bent it up about an 1". Now the cab, cm, and pinch weld are all flush. Looks very clean, well on my way to 35s with proper offset and bs wheels!:yes::welder::sawzall:

    I'll put some more pics up later.
