    Did you see the tags on them ?

    886 is the older version , more prone to sag

    886x ( or 884x , 885x ) are the newer version coils , less prone to sag

    Sometime around there is where the transition happened , but there was people getting the older coils for a while as stock sold out

    ( not necessarily Toytec )

    Nice. My dirt withdrawl has gotten so bad I did donuts in the wet dirt on the way back from Lowes just to get some dirt on the truck. I'm too busy with 50 hr weeks @ work + relandscaping & remodeling the new house.

    for 2nd gens, can you still use the stock UCAs with an OME 3" lift kit?
    i keep hearing yes and no :confused:

    I've read thru this whole thread and the thread about Toytec vs OME. I've decided to go OME but wanted to verify that I get everything I need and don't order unnecessary parts. I'd love suggestions on vendors, too.

    I have a 2011 Double Cab Off-Road 4x4. I would like the full 3" lift and will be running 275/70R17 BFG T/A's on Black Rock 908Bs. No after-market bumper/winch, just an Avid light bar.

    Front:
    -885 Coils
    -OME 90000 NitroCharger Sport Front Struts
    -OME95PF5 5MM Trim Packer (to correct the lean)
    ****-10MM Lift Enhancer Kit or 13MM? I just want the full 3" in the front, again no full bumper, just a light bar

    Rear:
    -OME 60091 NitroCharger Sport Rear Shocks
    -OME CS047 Dakars with Bushings and Ubolts

    Other:
    -OME FK29 Driveline Carrier Bearing Drop (for vibration)
    ****-Front Differential drop? I've heard arguments for and against.
    -SBR-129 - Toytec sway bar relocates
    -Light Racing UCAs (FatBob's got the best price that I've found so far)
    ****-TT-RS - Toytec rear axle degree shims?
    -SS-FBL - Toytec extended front brake lines
    -SS-20-05 - Toytec extended rear brake lines

    Miss anything/Don't need something?

    Last is what vendor have y'all found to have the best pricing? Wheelers, Toytec, and Downsouth are the three I've heard. No sense in spending extra $$ when I don't have to...

    Thanks in advance...

    :bowdown:

    BTW, took a sawzall to the truck for the first time this weekend (replacing with grillcraft), after the panic of the first cut, something changed. The mod bug bit me and is here to stay. Byebye $$...

    You have 2 cb drops on there, it would be a good measure to have 2 I guess, I used 2 and it cured the vibes almost completely. Use 1 at a time though, 1 might rid your vibes (if you even have any). Ditch the diff drop, it's useless, don't order the UCA's yet, you might could get away with proper alignment, if your caster is way out of whack, they yes get the UCAs, you don't need the extended brake lines, having them on the rear sure helps when installing a new leaf pack though, on the shims, you only need them if you are getting vibes, with the trim packers, get a 1/4" one (passenger) and a 1/2" one (driver side) and longer studs IIRC fat bobs sells them

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    ^^i got the best price from DSM when i bought mine. looks like you have the carrier bearing drop on your list twice.

    EDIT: too slow on the CB drop.
