    Fellas,

    Right now I have a spacer which gives me my lift. I want to upgrade my front suspension to increase ride quality, offroad handling, and maintain the ability to wear the 33x12.5x15 tires I have on right now. I drive offroad fairly often but I don't do extensive rock crawling so I don't need much extended travel.

    I plan on getting new UCAs (Camburg are $508 on SDHQoffroad.com right now) but need some advice on if I should go with a preassembled strut assembly (OME or the Toytec/Bilstein both on Wheelers) or if I should go with a C/O (King or Camburg).

    Without thinking about price differences, based only on what I'm trying to get out of the upgrade, what are your thoughts? I'd be willing to add 1.25" spacers if need be (I may anyway) to help with the tires.

    Thanks

    Front spacer I want to replace but maintain lift:

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Coilovers will yield about 2.5" lift max. I suggest 5100's and Eibach coils or OME springs, top plate (depends on what spring) and OME Nitros if you want a full 3". Rear look into some Dakars, All Pro standard or Expos or 3 leaf AAL. I don't suggest blocks.

    Went with OME 882, OME nitro shocks, 10mm spacer, and Camburg UCA to increase clearance from my tires.

    Once I get that all up and running I'll start thinking about the back but will probably go with the OME dakar pack.

    Thanks for the help sirsaechao

    Same here, bought the truck with a spacer and have been looking at the 5100's and eibach coils but wanted to know of any other/better options
