    Dan from wheelers told me to go with 885's and the 10mm enforcer kit upfront. I may just go that way not for sure since he said that'll be 2.5" lift and im aiming for 3".

    FWIW I have a DCSB, aluminum front bumper, winch, full belly armor, sliders, etc. and am running 886s without the spacer which gained me about 2.75" of lift.

    It rides nice. Stiff but they've broken in over the last couple years. I originally had 884s then bumped up to 886s, I wouldn't change anything that I have now (unless we're talking about going LT :p).

    I have an 2013 ac with campertop and no armor. I installed the 885's they are a little stiff still but my lift is nearly 3" in the rear and 2.5 upfront. I just bought a spacer for the front to level it out. Also I have the SCS wheels 6. 285/70/17 going on this week in my photos the truck is lifted but on 265/70/17. Hope this helps

I need help help just deciding on if I need the 887 with the 5mm driver side spacer or the 885 with 10mm enhancer kit up front just got done talking to wheelers and they recommended either so now which do y'all think?

    My 3* shims just showed up and I want to pop them in. Will I need longer U-bolt's or will the OME supplied ones be enough?

    Where did you buy the Slide In Shims?

    I currently have driveline vibrations and am thinking Shims might help out a bit

    12 Access Cab 2.7
    OME dakar lift, MB TKO's, bfg KO2's, tinted, blacked out everything, cap.
    Hey Guys, So after reading all of the first 83 pages with the intention of reading all of them, I have skipped ahead. I have tried to do all my research so I wouldn't have to ask a bunch of questions but alas, I still need some help!
    So basically I have a '12 4 banger access cab. Right now as it sits the rear is a 1/4" below the front because of the 400lb+ tools I have to keep in the bed 24/7. I am planning a full OME kit but I am unsure of what to get. With the dakars giving everbody 3" +- it is probably going to sag a little bit because of my constant load right? If it sags to maybe 2.5" or even less which front coils should I get? I like a little bit of rake and would also like to avoid having to get UCA's. So I am thinking the 884's. That would give me 2.5" or maybe a bit less in the rear and 2" in the front? I guess basically I'm trying to construct my lift for a truck thats already level because of weight in it. Any thoughts?
    By the way, did anyone ever figure out what mya means?

    My V6 DCLB gets 2" with the 884s. I would think you'd see a bit more than 2" with a 2.7, but I may be wrong.
