    Gentlemen,
    After googling, perusing facebook groups and this forum until my brain is fried, I've come close to a decision on what lift to install on my 3rd Gen 4x4 DCSB, but want to check and see if any of you guys recommend any different - or additional - parts before I pull the trigger.

    A little FYI - I live in SE Georgia, flatland, paved and clay roads. The truck is my daily, but my plans are eventually to add a C4Fab low profile bumper (advertised @ 75lbs, so relatively lightweight), winch, and (when being used) a bed rack and RTT for weekend/vacation length offloading and camping up in the mountains or possibly making trips out west for big vacations.

    So far I'm thinking:

    -OME kit, nitrocharger 90021 shocks, 888(?) front coils. I haven't decided on whether or not to get the standard or HD Dakars.
    -ECGS Bushing replacement for needle bearing, removal and install tool.

    I'm up in the air on whether or not to get HD Dakars or not, and whether I'm going to need rear shims, extended bump stops, or UCAS? What do you guys think?

    Lots of reports of OME coils settling more than expected, I would keep that in mind.

    Generally 1 degree shim for every inch of lift is advised, lots of people to 3 degree for Dakars.

    I would pony up the cash for UCAs. Worst thing is a lifted truck that isn’t aligned correctly and with the lift you are looking to get you’ll likely have issues with Stock UCAs

    Yep, I am sure there are better options out there now, but I have used them on several trucks over the years and never had to worry. I am also not rock crawling or doing anything outrageous though so YMMV.
