    lol thnx for the input :) def looks like that is the favorite right now.

    I am leaning towards OME a little more also because I want to install a aftermarket bumper further down the road and the OME might handle it a little better.

    I have the toytec... love it! OME is great to, but once its set its set. You don't get the pleasure of adjusting it to where you want it. But its still a great kit!

    I've adjusted them three times. Twice down then on time back up when I added tires. When I add my relentless bumper this summer I'll be bumping them up again once more. For some reason they lifted my truck way too much at first. So I bumped them down. Then I still had some major rubbing of my inner cv joint fins. So I bumped them down again but it made my tires rub the cab mount a little to much. I'm at a happy meadian right now!

    Yes you have to adjust them when they are installed or you will bend your spanner wrench.

    OME 885, 5100's, 1.5 AAL, DC2's, 265/75/16 Duratracs. Leer Cap, Debadged.
    Does anyone know how the ride is with 5100's paired with OME 885's? Would the ride be any different with the OME 90000 shocks? Some people say the 5100's are fine with OME coils, others say don't do it?

    From what I've seen no one has touched on the fact that the OME lift requires a 1/4" or 1/2" spacer or so to make it a true 3" lift. Based on what I've read about spacers, I thought the general consensus is to stay away from them. If true, why are so many people GAGA for OME over the Bilstein lift kit?

    The spacer for the OME lift to get the full 3" goes on top of the strut assembly , the spacers everybody hates are preload spacers .
