    Yeah. I'm figuring about 110-120# for the bumper and winch. I know one of the aluminums I looked at was 65#. Hadn't picked up a winch in a while so I just guessed 50#. My wife will be driving this thing so I just don't want to make the ride too rough where she'll hate it.

    I don't think the issue is with OME being inconsistent, more that there are a ton of variations on different truck setups that will impact the results from the different lifts.

    Prob right. I wish they would come out with an affordable true adjustable shock like ICON though.

    I've given my 886s time to settle, and like I suspected, they didn't settle much. Will be looking for 887s in the next couple of months.

    Not that I've seen unfortunately. Seems like everything from ARB take a while to get over to the states. Like the 'new' snorkel. :D

    Not looking for less height. Looking for less stiffness. I'd like to retain the height so I can fit 285s.

    I'm surprised you aren't already level using the 3/4" spacer.

    If you want 3" get 887s and some new UCAs. If you want cheap and no 3" of lift, take out the aal.

    I'm planning to upgrade my suspention soon. I currently have the toytec coils with a 1/2" spacer and aal in the rear. my sont and rear were level initially but after the springs have settled and with some added weight up front my rake has returned. I was about to buy some billies to give me a littlextra lift up front but now I'm thinking full OME instead. I have a V6 AC with a steel SOS front bumper and warn with synthetic line. I'd say its 150 lbs total weight on my front end. I also have sliders and am planning on getting front and mid skids eventually. I want to swap out my front coils and shocks first. Is the 886 gonna be what I need for the full 3" up front or am I too light for that with the access cab?
