    Are OME lift kits decent for light offroading/trail-riding? Do they lift a full 3''?

    Just a bunch of old crap
    OME shocks/springs up front with aftermarket UCAs, and Dakar springs in rear with OME or 5100 shocks and you're riding niiiiice both on and offroad with or without loads/towing.

    Pretty hard to beat the ride quality and capabilities for the money.

    ICON's and Dakars for me, with the Desert Racing UCA's.
    Be prepared for a little over 4" inchs of lift with the Dakars, and they do not really settle, they are hell for stout.
    Would have it no other way though. Truck has a really nice rake.

    That's good. I noticed slight vibes on mine, nothing major. I didn't listen. I have to get that bumper and winch quick because those 886s are way to stiff.
