    Currently I have a full 3" OME suspension lift with 881 coils and the have the small spacer on top of each shock to lift it a full 3" per toytec. Recently I've noticed my front shocks making squishing noises when going over speed bumps etc. ((Worn out?))

    Would like to take out the small spacers and run Bilstein 5100's vs the OME nitro chargers (90004 model). The price difference is around $150 more for the OME shocks. Will the 5100's be good to pair up with 881's and also be OK with nitros out back? Just not sure if mixing two brand of shocks would be a good thing or not.

    On a side note I'm also getting jba high Caster control arms in the mail today. Let me know if I'd run into issues by running those with the 881 coils and bilstein's. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Just trying to determine on what shocks do you actually go with.
