    this is for a 03 DC tacoma
    now i live in hawaii and i was going to get a full OME kit from wheelers for around 1700 1800 shipped

    now at a local shop they have some dirt logic coilovers and skyjacker 2.5 leaf spring pack.

    the dirt logics are about 1200 and the skyjacker 2.5inch leafs are 400. so 1600 total

    leaning now towards the dirt logic's and skyjacker 2.5 inch cause i can get them locally
    just wandering the quality of these brands ive read up on dirt logics and they seem to be pretty good CO's.
    i cant find much on the skyjacker leaf springs are they a good leaf spring pack. compared to the allpro or deavers??

    or should i just get the OLD MAN EMU SET UP.
    opinions please

    OME, 882's nitro's and dakars, got it off of wheelers off road.
    Depending on what your is on or is going to be on your front bumper you can get different coils. IMO wheelers off road had awesome customer service compared to other web sites.

    btw i run full ome minus the rear shocks, running skyjacker h7045, an inch longer than ome and ride great with dakars, but i still recommend local being where you are if they have great service in the even something goes wrong. if the skyjacker springs are a bit softer this is good if you are not hauling a lot of weight. when i added a leer 180 my ride improved out back, but my truck is the light regular cab.

    nice choice. Just check when you install the dakar's if they push the axle forward. I had to move my axle back an inch with an adapter plate to correct this issue. The wheel was eating the front of the wheel well.
