    I have my 887/OME front with OME rears and I'm in love. Great ride. I don't mean to derail since I went with OME shocks but wanted to put that out there for anyone considering that setup. I do have the trim pack spacer on the drivers side as well.

    Also an interesting fact I learned in my research, running OME shocks means you DO NOT need to install extended brake lines. They designed their shocks for our trucks to run out of travel prior to stressing the front and rear lines. I found this out through a lot of research and it doesn't seem to be common knowledge as I see a lot of folks that are running OME shocks and went ahead with the brake lines. Just goes to show how well designed they are.

    Lifted it Saturday. Still have stock ucas, but am putting LR ones on this weekend. Wasn't sure on how to remove the ucas, but looks like I have to just bend some metal.

    887's out front, driver top plate spacer with the 4 leaf pack + deaver aal. Sits level, 23.5inches from hub to fender.

    1.5". It's the one that comes with the bundled kit from headstrong.

    Actually forgot to measure before so I'm not sure on that. I'm running 285/70/17s and the only rubbing I had was on the small front flaps

    ^Dan from Wheeler's did an exceptional job answering my questions and helping me out with what I wanted/needed. His knowledge and customer service is what made me decide to order all my parts from Wheeler's. Thanks again Dan.

    I decided to change to LR UCAs after reading all the issues with stock UCAs and 3" lifts.

    Sorry, shoulda' clarified...alignment issues. I'm super anal when it comes to truck. The LR UCA's allowed the shop to get me the alignment I was looking for.

    I have the adjustable 5100 and ome 887, on low settings the shock is great but I have it set to 2.5 so the ride is stiff

    I got a progressive AAL by wheelers and I have SPC ucas. Adding spacers and blocks for the fuck of it

    887's with 5100's and rear Icon 2.0 shocks go on this weekend with the rear 1.5 Icon Progressive AAL and Camburg Ball Joint type UCA's. All while doing the needle bearing at the same time. Pics when done

    How do you have it set at 2.5? With the bottom setting of the 5100 it will give you 3 inches with this spring
