    Does anybody know the deal with the n91s nitro chargers? Seems like i can't find them anywhere anymore. Most websites (including wheeler's where I'm ordering everything else from.) only have the sports, which I don't want. I want to have the n91s in the front with 881 coils, and 5100's and new leafs in the back. don't really want to have to go 5100's and 881's in the front but I will if I can't find the n91s rather than buy the nitro sports

    Hey guys I've got the 3" ome lift and I just got an arb bumper and I'm planning on getting a winch down the road... What's the number on the front strut that I'll need to get and if anyone knows what site has the best price

    What are your actual springs, 884's... 885's? I noticed you have an AccessCab, so I don't know if the use of 886's would be overkill to compensate for the weight of bumper/winch.

    Maybe the OZ knows better. I am thinking... if you curently have 885's, would the 887's be a better pick since they are the same spring rate, but only 5mm longer?

    Too few to list.
    For those who has 4x4, 885x's will just settle enough for the fins to have a 1mm of space to not touch.

    And would I be able to reuse the springs or should I just get everything new... I've beat on them pretty hard even before I had the bumper

    I believe it's would be the whole front meaning struts and coils... Could the could be beaten up? Or would they be reusable because I can feel the difference in the ride on them from when I got them with 10k on them up until now with a total around 25k estimate.
    First they were used just as a 3" lift but after I got into wheeling I've been doing it quite often and the trucks my dd for now until I get my new job nd pay off the rest of the truck nd get something else for a dd

    Are your shocks blown? Front sagging? I think most springs will last quite a long time, but of course the lift will settle a bit and the ride should get a little softer.

    If you're adding weight, I would upgrade the springs as well. The springs are what handle the weight, not the shocks. Go with 886s.

    Thanks for the answer. So, another general question. If I do the 884s on 90021 struts up front (on a DCSB, seems like it could give anywhere from a 1.75" to 2.5" lift), would you replace the UCAs? Is that front lift enough to warrant new UCAs if money was no issue?
