OME Dakar/5100 Install and results

After waiting quite sometime to get a rear lift, I finally got OME Dakars with Bilstein 5100's. I put 5100's on the front when I got my new wheels, and overtime with hauling my fourwheeler, the rear end began to sag pretty bad. This weekend my buddy and I put on the leaf springs, shocks, and drive shaft spacer in about 3 hours from pulling into the garage to pulling out. (Props to everyone who did it themselves, getting the leaf springs set was a challenge even with 2 guys!) I knew everyone was saying at how much lift they actually got out of the leaf springs and I was not expecting that much but I was shocked at how tall it sat when we were done.

Took it out for a spin and to be honest it rode better than before. Could not be more happy, and I owe it to everyone who helped me decide what to get. Only regret I have is not doing it earlier!

Here are a couple older pictures from before new leaf springs:

And here is after:




I'll post a picture once I get my four wheeler loaded up and see what the difference is.

 

What setup do you have in the front?

 

Nice work! The rake looks good on your truck.

Thanks man! Couldn't be more happy with how it turned out!

 

are the 5100 set to 2.5?

 

Should have got a long bed!

1.75" or 2.0" I've read different things on the height adjustments, but it is the second to highest setting.

And I regret not getting a long bed, that is the only thing I do not like about my truck!

 

what size tires are you running?
