    No, I drove it for a few days to let it all settle before I had alignment done. Drives awesome, no bump steer, doesn't feel flighty and tracks straight as the pole @ChadsPride dances on.

    Hmm,

    Wheelers just sent me this when I asked about 884s vs 885s.

    I would suggest the 884 coils up front for close to 2" of lift. And I would suggest the Sport Shocks. They are better suited for both on and off road use as well as hauling/towing needs.

    I believe the sale price will still be going for a while.

    I guess there is only about 1/4" difference between the two right? I think they are the same spring rate, just different lengths.

    It totally in the realm of possibility, but I would say not likely. After talking with ARB I would go 885 for 2" and 887 for 2.5" I put 1/2 spacers on
    My top plates so I'm at 2.25. I'm gonna call that good enough don't feel like taring it all apart for another .25-.5. There is a large range to these springs and it appears that while they may be labeled the same no two sets are a like. Not bashing them just th roughing out my 2 cents.

    Looks great. How much lift did you get all around? New UCAs? Any issues? Happy with it?

    No New UCA, still using the stock ones, I had the usual issues = vibrations

    I did the ECGS upgrade due to vibrations up front , ended up using 3/4" spacers below CB, that seems to be best for now, just a slight vibe at 30mph and goes away below or above 30mph

    I tried the flipped 180 degrees CB, but that still had a vibe 0-20mph aside from that it was smooth

    I am happy with the ride, we do a lot of mountain biking and with the dakar rear springs it no longer bottoms out when loaded with bikes and gear.

    I am not sure how much lift all around, but based on my friends same year stock truck, it looks like my rear was 2" higher and front about 2.7" inches higher

    So I got the rear lifted today... I did not take before measurements because the truck already had an AAL in the stock leaf pack but the after measurement with the RTT and bed rack and spare tire in the bed was

    24.5 hub to fender on both sides!

    Im sure it will settle... Ive already put 45 miles on it and have retorqued the bolts and will do so again 1 more time when I reach 100 miles

    Installed my kit today. Lift went in relatively painlessly, which is more than I can say for my brake lines. Not sure how/why, but the rear lines were fused.

    Before:

    Measurements from Hub to Fender Flare
    LF = 19.5", LR = 22", RF = 20", RR = 21.5"

    885s only:


    885s and Dakars, minus second overload leaf:

    Measurements from Hub to Fender Flare
    LF = 22" (2.5" of lift), LR = 24" (2" of lift), RF = 22.5" (2.5" of lift), RR = 24.5" (3" of lift)

    Will have to see how everything settles...

    Anyone and Everyone:

    What other general maintenance, replacements, or upgrades did you do while installing your full OME set up? I'll be putting mine on soon and want to be sure I clean, grease, replace, upgrade anything and everything while I have it all apart.
