    Pretty much the same thing as OME Nitro shocks and 888 Coils. I had bad luck with OME so I prefer bilstein for the 3" lift. However, many people run OME without any issues so dont take my word for it

    The ride is shit with strut spacers. Full length shocks are really the way to go

    So if I did the RC. What are you looking at price was to replace the rear shocks and front struts? Another 1k?

    Will be a bit more including springs, Toytec 521600 runs about $160 and OME 887 is about $190.

    If using the regular 5100 in the rear, which AAL is recommended? Deaver, ICON, Headstrong?
    Which springs would give the best match? OME 884 or 885? I am in an interesting spot because I already have a new set of 5100 and need the other parts to complete the lift.
