    886s will probably put you over 3" before the winch, you might be OK after the winch. Do the CV boot slide if you put the 886s on before the winch.[/QUOTE]

    ?please explain? looking to put 886 on shortly before winch!

    CV boot slide just stretches out the boots so the fins don't touch as they wear out much quicker. Some do it with washers or clips and some just clamps. Search "CV boot slide" for more details on the how to.

    OK I HAVE A QUESTION!!! I would like to know if the suspension can stay around stock height? I use my truck to work and lifting items higher may become a pain after a few loads. Yes I know man up but Im old and may want to take it easy sometimes. I would like a better set of rear leaf springs that dont sag under light loads. Is this an option???

    Full OME lift 885's with Dakar leaf springs. LR UCA's. ImMrYo relocation bracket.
    How many miles does everyone have on their OME lift? I have about 150...LOL

    But honestly I am curious to see how long someone has ran the OME components.

    Thanks

    Hey Oz, did you happen to measure your fender to center hub with the 885x?

    Really? I'm at 22 1/4 with 5100's set at 1.75" and it's installed and set correctly as it's not the first time I've installed them in these trucks. 23 to 23 1/2 on the front is what I was expecting from 885x.

    Well my stock measure was 20 , most stock trucks are 20 - 20 1/2" , so 23 1/2" would be 3" - 3 1/2" of lift

    I'll have to re-measure and double check. I just might have to go coil overs. Thanks.

    Not sure why you would expect an additional 1 1/4" of lift from 885's

    I was just going off measurements with the 5100's. Measuring at 22.25", I just figure 885 would put me at at least 23". I really have to re-measure again as I saw pics of your CV angles and looks nothing like mine.
