    i have a 07 offroad dcsb

    so far i have:

    -billsteins 5100 all around
    -885 ome front coil set
    -1.5" lift 3 leaf progressive from wheelersoffroad.com

    total is $632 from wheelers

    first of all. is that a good price? i'm on a tight budget but at the same time i want to keep a great ride quality. i was originally just planning on setting the billies at 1.75 with the stock offroad springs but i've read that the ride quality is quite stiff. i'm planning on adding some 265/75/16 AT tires. it's my current DD and it will be used for offroading here and there.

    i would just like to hear some opinions before i pull the trigger. thanks guys.

    I have heard good things about OME, and Bilstein's. I have heard though that the 885 spring is pretty stiff. Are you running a heavy aftermarket bumper on the front? I too thought about OME, but decided on a coilover setup like Icon because I wanted a more cush ride. I priced out the OME 884 (softer spring), nitro charger shocks, and Dakar leafs, and compared that to an icon setup. Without the price of new uniball UCA's, the price difference was small. OZ-T is a member here you should ask. He has OME and is very knowledgeable about their set ups. Just my .02.

    No bumpers. So which setup did you go with? Pics of your truck? Sorry I'm at work right now using my phone.
