    How's the ride? I haven't run an OME setup in years but from what I remember they always valved their kits very well

    Here is a random pic dump from my OME install. Went with the 888's, and also elected to run Total Chaos upper control arms. Only been a few days with it installed, but so far I'm impressed.

    Yeah, I hope they don't. Really like the height rite now, but I'll add spacers if I need to. I did take some measurements so well see.

    I'm really happy with the setup rite now, feels really good after coming from the super floaty stock OR shocks and coils. 100 miles after I installed the lift I'm sitting at a 2 1/4" increase over stock height everywhere but the rt front which is at a 2" increase (Thanks to the trim packer on the lt front). I'll be pretty bummed if she drops from where it's at.

    Would you say go with that or do you think the headstrong aal would be much of a difference. I was going to order the kit from them and it comes with the headstrong aal or for more money I can get the dakar

    I preferred the Dakar because I think you get a little more height, and I think they are better suited for additional weight. I don't think you can go wrong either way, but IMO I think the Dakar may hold up a little better long term.

    Ok I appreciate your opinion and help. One more thing did you get the firm or soft struts prob firm correct. With the 90000 strut they say I should go with the 886 but you went 888 and I'm loving the way yours looks. Sorry for all the questions I just want to make sure I order right

    It's all good, I'm happy to help. I went with the medium coils (888's), with the softer valved front shock's (90021's).
