    Going to change my leaf springs, and found OME Drakkars. But this is going to put 2.75" of height on. Now that doesn't bother me, but. Do i need the OME coils, new shocks and struts, and brake line extensions( sorry dont know what this part would be called) And is there anything else i need? If so, what, and what brand should i get, i.e., shocks, coils, etc.
    i am new to all this so try to dumb it down for me please.

    Thanks for your time

    Full OME kit. Buy what works together.

    Absolutely love mine!

    You will definitely need new shocks in the rear.

    - Coils in the front depend on if you want a bumper and winch up front (extra weight means higher rated coil; OME has 4 for your model 884 885 886 and 887)
    - no diff drop
    - Carrier bearing drop recommended
    - New u bolts for the thicker Dakar pack
    - extended brake lines in the rear at least.
    - new UCAs if you are looking to lift over 2.5"
    - can re-use the stock bump stops but I replaced mine since I was doing everything and wanted to do it once and do it right.
