    I'm trying to figure out which way to go with my suspension. I'm leaning towards either the OME or Dobinsons.

    I am running full SOS skids, sliders, camper shell, decked system. I will eventually get a SOS HC swingout bumper, ARB front bumper, and winch. I have no plans to run bigger than a 265 tire.

    Front:
    I'm thinking OME 886 or the Dobinsons HD b/c of the eventual ARB and winch.

    Rear:
    I've been reading that I could add the EL46XL to the EL096R's(660lbs) for more weight, I've seen 15% increase which would put right at 760lbs. The Dobinsons are rated for a constant 880lbs.

    From what I could find on the web, I'm already at 400+lbs(200 for the cap, 200+ for the decked system) not including anything else for camping/trips.

    I'm more concerned with carrying weight than the lift. A 2" lift will be more than enough for my uses.

    Any help/suggestions is appreciated.

    This is how she sits now.
