    It is daily driven and sometimes I do haul trailers with atvs/utvs, every now and then a car hauler with my project truck (83 ranger). I go camping/mountain biking a lot, so a lot of trails, lake Tahoe a lot for snowboarding. I have front and rear plate bumpers, winch, full size spare, toolbox loaded with tools, and may get a truck tent one day.

    So nothing extreme or crazy. But I do know that you get what you pay for and I love my truck. I take care of it as best I can and I want it to ride, sound, and looks its best. But she also gets used like a truck.

    Wheels will be the 17" RAY10s. Originally was going to go 285/70 ST Pros. But I haven't purchased anything as of yet, I hope this time I get everything I want from my purchase, so I want to do it right to time. Not saying that the OME kit isn't great, but I know that there is better

    May want to get a different bs. I have f5 with 3.5". I do most of what you do and plan on having similar stuff. Up front I'd say do 650 or 700 coils if it's already on your truck. Talk with dsm. They'll help you out and do your valving

    you might need small 3/4" spacers to clear. Not a big deal to run

    Yes I already have the plate bumpers and winch is awaiting installation.

    That kind of sucks that those wheels won't clear. Even with 2.0s it wouldn't probably. Even if I dropped down to the 16x8 with 4" it may not help. How limited is the travel with just the 2.5s or 2.0s in the factory location? Obviously it is much better with the 12" shock

    King OEM replacements versus 12" kings is you loose 4" of up travel but gain 7" of droop

    I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if I have to run a small spacer. Does out trucks sit width wise even? front to rear?

    Within a fraction of an inch, yes. The higher you lift the front the more it pulls in the front tires. But it isn't a noticeable difference

    Ive never ran spacers on anything. Trucks or 4wheelers. On our atvs they just eat wheel bearings, obviously this is built a little stronger, and 3/4" spacers shouldn't hurt much of anything I guess

    No it's completely fine, just make sure they are torqued properly. I have a friend with 40" MTR's on his land cruiser with 3" spacers (yes 3" spacers) and he hasn't had a problem, wheels it hard.

    First try it without spacers and see if or how much, then judge spacer size.

    Bora is made to order. I put in an order a week and a half ago for 2" spacers (match the track width of +2 LT) and they shipped out today.
    Also if you do go with name brand. Bora makes the most sizes and is good, only other brand I'd trust is spidertrax which only makes 1.25", probably too big

    Don't think I've seen anyone run 2.5's with this kit.. Could be wrong though. Either super bumps or air bumps, depending on your budget.

    I believe people run 4" but someone else can chime in that knows more than me for air bumps.
