    Tires: 35/11.5/17 Toyo AT3s Wheels: FN FX Pro Gunmetal 17s with TRD center caps Zinc Metallic lettering. Yukon 4.30 gears with TruTrac Front Suspension: OME 887 w/5100s, Freedom Offroad UCAs n Superbumps Rear: Archive Hammer Hangers,Dakar Mediums, Bilstien 5125s Ubolt flip n Superbumps, Headlights: Selfmade Retrofits URD shortshift kit Airaid CAI No name throttle controller
    My current setup is The standard 5100s on all corners. Up front I have OME 887s along with Freedom Offroad UCAs and Wheelers Superbumps.
    In the rear I currently rock a flat TSB pack with a 2" Torch Offroad AAL proping the sad/sagness up.
    I recently ordered OME Dakar medium leafs, Bilstien 5125s (33-230337), Wheelers U-bolt flip and rear Superbumps with 4+" braided brake lines for all 4wheels.
    I'm wondering if I should return the 5125s for B110s after seeing others run them and how much more extension they get.
    I don't really offroad but wouldn't mind spending $50 more bucks and waiting another week if those extra couple of inches might save my ass on one rare occasion.
    Do you have to do a shock mount relocate with the B110s?
    I also have 12.5" colored replacement boots for the shocks ordered.
    Will those boots fit B110s or will those be to short?
    With me about to have all of the rear suspension off am I missing an opportunity to add/change something that I may be overlooking?
    Opinions are welcome.
    Thanks Tacoworld!

    I was in this boat too for a bit. I ended up with the B110’s. I can’t comment on how the two differ for ride quality but I would assume it’s the same since the valving specs are the same. I also have Dakar med leaf springs.

    They bolt up with no issues. You will need to get some extended bump stops and longer rear brake lines. I used some GM bump stops as they longer and are progressive. They are about $60 vs the fancy $200+ ones that everyone here runs. I also took the opportunity to do a shackle flip as well.

    Here you can kinda see the bump stop I have. It just uses the stud on the bump stop and drilled a hole in the stock bump stop frame stop.
