I have 887s and ome shocks still up front but my rears are extended billies

 

My setup is: LR UCAs, Wheelers Superbumps, sway bar w/ All Pro endlinks, OME 886 and OME shocks, Dakar HD. I ran without a swaybar a couple months back and it felt a lot better over bumps but I've had to swerve around deer and cars pulling out in front of me before, so I ended up putting it back on. I have the All Pro endlinks set as long as they'd go, tightened everything down with the front end up so my sway bar won't limit my droop (All Pro rep said to do this, not sure if that's the proper way - could be making my ride worse when hitting potholes and washboard asphalt).

 

If you go better front shocks set correctly, you’ll be able to remove that sway bar again and not notice a difference.

 

I was just on headstrong's site and checking out the billies. I had them on my first gen and really liked the ride, but I didn't have a lift so I used factory coils. Looks like you can pair billies with their coils or OMEs, 888s might sag with weight so 886 might be my only option if I don't ditch some weight. You have any issues with the 887s?

 

Do you have a recommendation? I didn't notice as much body roll as I thought I would with the stiffer 886 springs, but I didn't test it with any evasive-type swerves. Most of my miles are rural highway for work, I really should get a DD so I don't keep racking them up on my truck.

 

I don't have any issues with my 887 s but I don't have as much weight as you do I have an aluminum streamline bumper from SOS concepts

 

I’ve had Icons on this truck in the past and now Kings. Both remote resi with 700# coils but Kings are valved for my truck. To me, Kings ride much better than the Icons. My truck is stupid heavy and I don’t feel the absence of the sway bar at all.

 

Are your nitrochargers 90000 or 90021?

They should be the 90000's with the 886 coils.

Then again, SC roads suck ass...

 

Might be a silly question, but what are you options with shocks in that price range when they're worn? Rebuild or replace?

 

Yes, 90000s. They definitely do, even in my wife's new Rav4 it isn't a comfortable ride out here.

 

Rebuild. I’ve got all the tools, nitrogen, etc to do it myself. @OCD 08 and I worked on my RZRs shocks not too long ago.

 

Nice! I might look into those soon, running kings rear as well? Standard length? I've been pinching pennies for a regear at ECGS so it might be a while before I have the funds to do my suspension.

 

Extended travel and custom valving all around.




Good call on ECGS. They regeared and put lockers in mine...couldn't be happier with their service. Be sure to see about calling in the Raleigh rescue team to save you from the long day in the waiting room (@Sandman614 @Red Baron etc).

Truck is basically now a built and over-capable tow rig since getting the RZR.

 

It might take me quite a while to get there now...

 

You moved back?

 

Plenty of time for break-in

 

Brown Santa not visit you up there?

They both look pretty damn good, not sure if I should go with standard or extended length. Would just need to extend my brake lines but I've been wanting to switch over to SS anyways, so not a big deal. Potentially cheaper route is going with a nice setup up front and throwing the billies with reservoir on the rear, but might just suck it up and do it all at once. Will probably be later this year or next year unless I see a good deal come up. I assume my LR UCAs are ok to use with either kings or fox? Just replaced my original pair when I blew a balljoint out a couple months ago.
