    I want to change my rear shocks. Which will provide better ride quality, OME or 5100s?

    What is your budget? Are you adding any other suspension components or are you stock?

    I'm partial to OME..but that's what I am running now.

    I want to get the 5100 adjustables in the front to level my truck out but I also want to replace the rear shocks so I can have a softer ride. I'd like to stay under 500 if possible. I just don't want spacers or anything like that.

    For your budget, the most inexpensive option with a decent ride, the 5100s will be great.

    Hope this helps.

    I did 5100s all around. front at .85" and then got the rear TSB springs and I maintained the stock rake. it rides nice, firmer than stock

    i'm running a complete OME kit for a few month now and i'm loving it!

    never tried the 5100 but the OME is worth every penny!
