    Wow! Didn’t know that. Was looking to get bilstien 5100 with ome 885. What do you recommend for suspension then?

    I don’t care for lift, I need better suspension for trails littered with holes

    Don’t listen to him. 5100’s paired with OME are a great budget lift.

    How’s the ride compared to stock OR? Both on and off road.

    Really my main concern is the ride quality and I will be putting on cbi off-road front and rear bumpers w/ winch so I need to compensate for the increase in weight.

    I have a sport but that doesn’t really matter if you’re going with 5100’s. I think it rides a lot better, a little more stuff which I prefer because I have to be bouncing over any little bump. I kept stock springs up front, and recently did an AAL in the rear as a 1” block in the rear made too bouncy of a ride in the back.

    The main thing that differs between plastidip and spray paint the the removable aspect of the plastidip. In my opinion, that’s the greatest thing about it. Many people do it to expensive cars (much more expensive than a taco) and they can redo the paint job however they want, whenever they want.

    Fair enough - save money one place to spend in another can't argue with that train of thought.

    I remember this from a compact spot post :rofl::rofl::rofl:. Not my style, but too each his own. Serious question, what is this purpose? Again in all seriousness and not being a dick, but why, besides looks?
