    I would say that the the OME w/ OME shocks is an excellent combo.

    The only reason i went with the Bilstien 5100shocks + OME coils is due to the fact that i was not expecting to replace my coils initially. I first upgraded the shocks with the 5100 because the front shocks offered the pre-loaded setting to provide a 1.5" lift. I was not fully satisfied with the outcome of this so i resulted to the added OME coil lift for the full 3"

    I hope your build has come along nicely. Please post pictures if you have any available.

    So sorry for the delay in response. I rarely log-in any more...

    Always happy to reminisce on the ol' Taco days

    None, yet!
    Thanks for the reply. Spent the last 1/2 hr here at work trying to upload new pictures after the lift. No luck. Not real savvy on the 'ol computer. Went to 4WheelParts in Plano TX. Got the OME coils & shocks, ARB rear springs for about a 2 1/2" lift. Very happy with it. I still have the Hankook P265 ATM's on it (nearly brand new). They should be up for a trip to Big Bend Nat'l Park in about a month for some trailing riding. Maybe by then I can figure out how to upload my pictures on to this darn thing! ha

    Hey man nice truck! I saw you had a couple of Kc lights on your allpro. Were those 6"? And do you think there would be room under that hoop to fit three 6" lights? I'm looking at getting an allpro soon and kicking around some light ideas. I've done some measuring but I thought I'd ask. Again man nice truck!

    I have the same All-Pro bumper. I have two 6 in KC's mounted.

    Using the stock light tabs on the bumper from All-Pro, you can fit 2 8" lights no problem.

    Only way to fit 3 6" lights is to have the stock tabs cut off and welded further apart, and add in a third tab in the middle. I plan on doing this soon.

    Yea I saw those tabs on there and thought they'd be a little too close together, but I thought about using KCs tube clamps instead of moving the tabs. Just don't know how strong they'd be.
