    Sitting a little bit higher after this weekend.


    I got 886 coils to compensate for the steel bumper and winch I am having installed next month. On the drive home I thought the handling was fairly squirrely, a bit worriesome especially going over bumps. I am thinking once the additional weight is up front on those coils it will help... But I am also over thinking it a bit and considering getting LR UCAs, I am still on OEM right now.

    Will the Dakar Medium leaf pack work okay with Bilstein 5160 rear shocks?

    Sup guys. 2017 DCSB with a 100 lb bumper+winch and sliders on the way. I'm looking at 3 combinations.

    OME 888 + FIRM shock
    OME 888 + SOFT shock
    OME 886 + SOFT shock

    I would like to get as much lift as possible and still have decent on road ride quality. I'm not really going to be pushing a ton of weight, but I'm trying to avoid sag.

    Here is the print out of the 2nd alignment, I don' think caster is as high as some have recommended. Also they had 265/65 tire listed when I'm on a 255/80. Still pulls hard right, not as squirrelly but not great.

    Might help to include what you’re thinking for the rear also. How much rake you’re considering.

    I'm no expert but those don't look like great numbers.

    Looks like about 1in more travel with the extended travel 5100 which is used with a 3-4in lift. Medium gives you 2.75...

    I have the SSO slimline bumper and Smittybilt x20 winch, also have Allpro sliders. I went with 888 springs, full medium Dakars and the Nitrocharger sport shock. Front was lifted 2 1/4 rear 2. Have 1 1/2 rake. Don't mind the rake, it is a truck. Levels when loaded. The rear spring cluck when loaded heavy offload. Overall the ride is great. No settling with about 1,000 miles.

    It doesn't look like the tech even tried to adjust your caster or camber. The numbers are exactly the same. I'd take it back to them.

    My whole truck is squeaky. Abuse causes this. At least in my case it does.

    Yeah. I was able to get 2.3 out of my stock control arms with a ~1.75" Lift.

    [​IMG]

    Tell them you want 0 camber, 0 toe, and as much caster as they can get out of the control arms.
