OME EL096R and Bilstein 6112 measurements

So I wanted to give you guys some measurements on height with an empty bed. I’m running OME Dakar EL096R heavy rear leaf springs with Bilstein 5160 in the rear and Bilstein 6112 in the front on setting 6/5. I normally run a HD Diamondback cover with a steel KBVoodoo rack/rooftop tent, but I recently had to take everything off as I’m moving. These springs have settled in as much as I think they will.

Front Driver: 22.5 inches hub to fender
Front Passenger: 22.75 inches hub to fender

Rear Driver: 24.5 inches hub to fender
Rear Passenger: 25 inches hub to fender

So it’s basically a 2-2.25 inch rake with an empty bed presuming a 2 inch front lift. Which ain’t so bad...

But yea wouldn’t go serious off roading in an empty bed.

 

I like the rake in it. I have a hard shell so interested to see what it’s like with your rack and tent on.

 

Full loaded it’s pretty heavy when I’m going camping, maybe 600-800 pounds or so in the rear. I get down to about 23 inches in the rear with that.
