    I got them on eBay, I think the brand name was Tyler. I would’ve like Bushwackers but these were like $180 versus the $500 bushwackers. Thank man, my plan is to add rigid radiance light bar and fogs with blue backlight and I just ordered some @mesojdm ultimate turn signals!

    887s roughly give you 2.5-2.75 according to manufacturer and anything above 2.5” will be close to needing aftermarket UCAs according to the shop I use who are big time in off-roading community. I played it safe with the 885s and love the stance it provides. The ride is far better than stock I feel as well.

    885s with AAL will look just as good as with 1.5” blocks in back but will ride better with AAL. Those tires will definitely fit, I have 285/65/18 with 5100s and 885

    Any nose dive under normal braking> comfort compared to stock?

    No I haven’t noticed anything, the 5100s seem a little more firm and I think the spring rate on 885 is softer than stock but I don’t have any nosedive under typical braking

    I have 5100's in the back with a single add a leaf and I got just shy of 2" lift. the front is 5100's with OME 887s. I have a winch and SSO slimline steel bumper and got the same amount of lift there too.
