so I'm not sure which angle yall wanted me to post from but here you go 885 on 5100's @ 0 no top Plat spacer, 2" aal

 

Here ya go! Thanks Kev o

 

I like the way your truck sits. I just picked up my kit from HS yesterday and hope it sits like yours.

So excited and can't wait to install these:

 

I see your shocks came with the springs installed, where did you get them?

 

Bought the package from Headstrong OffRoad. They offer it assembled for a little fee. Contact Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Thanks man. I've heard great things about Marie at headstrong. If you need any pointers on the install let me know.

 

I'll let you know if I have any questions. Thanks!

 

Good choice ! Marie is awesome and you will love your lift...

 

FJ to Taco Thanks a lot for posting that picture! Did you remove any leafs from the Dakar pack?

 

Hey Kev O .... Nope no leafs taken out. Idrove 1000 miles last weekend to AZ from California and the ride was awesome.. smooth yet firm

 

I got to run my 5100 885 no top plate out bear hunting the Arizona rim. It will rub the mudflaps when I pound the bumps but still believe the ome struts were designed for trashcans. My rear sits lower than the front with 4 hounds in the box and I caught a rear fender flare with the tire but no damage. I want to add more rear and a 1/2 inch top plate up front and a Demello winch bumper.

 

Hey JT, Yep I get it.. I trimmed my rear flaps by 2 inches and have taken them off for that reason. They will rip off when you use your truck like you do. I'd take your mud flaps off and for the rear the Dakar leaf packs would work for you. I haul my camping gear including my 200.lbs of American Bulldogs and with just an AAL it was not cutting it. The OME Dakar CS047R Leaf spring packs and a CB drop kit makes such a better ride off road and supports the weight. You will be happy with that rear setup I am.

 

So i have the 885's and billys running a 2" aal in the rear I have a topper on. I'm thinking about doing a 1/4 metal spacer on the passenger side to achieve a 1/2" of lift ,and a 1/2 spacer on the drivers side to achieve 1" and to accommodate for the lean any idea's on what i should do the rear. I currently have about a 1/2" rake so the rear is slightly higher.

 

if you don't want to replace your leaf pack , i think your options are..

1. Airbags
2. Sumo Springs bump stops.

 

Wheels n tires finally here she sits as we speak!

 

I'm not entirely sure of the purpose of this thread, but I will gladly whore my truck out No top spacer and a 2" AAL in the rear, 285/75r16 tires.

 

The thread is about people who are running Billy 5100's with OME 885's
