    5100s/OME 888s. Dakar leaf pack. Total Chaos UCAs. DeMello Sliders. BAMF Recessed Grille. Prinsu Cabrack and Toprack.
    I bought the ones that fit the 2015 (gen 2). They work fine. I got them on jet.com for a discount. I also added Deaver AAL tri-pack progressive springs. Gave me 1.5" in the rear. Love this setup for a great price.

    So I hope the shop installed the right kit. I ordered a medium load OME lift kit with 888 springs. I took stickers off of the springs I say still on when I got home and they say 887 on it. Here's a picture of the box as well as a picture of my receipt.

    They fit fine. The valving of the current vs the new are going to be the same. I heard that the only thing that will change is where the snap rings sit for the 2016 model. This will hold me through until I get a set of adjustable Kings all the way around.

    Installed 3 inch Rough Country lift about 3 weeks ago. Rides just like stock and the look is much better. Tires and wheels next. Stock truck in red for comparison.

    Looking forward too it. Why are you going with 888's? You probably mentioned this previously. I'm TW'ing at work on the sly.

    So I'm going to pull the trigger on that OME 2" lift kit -- should I upgrade my UCAs as well? ok4wd.com has the SPC upper control arms for 423. Should I add those into my order? I'm not really planning on lifting the truck much more, I just want a better spring for the additional weight of the bumpers, winch, and armor. Thoughts?

    Okay so I have a predicament. I have a DCLB TRD OR and I put on Cooper AT3 275/70/17 on stock suspension with Method NV wheels and had NO rubbing with normal driving. After installing the OME 2inch lift kit with 887 coils and Light Racing UCA's I now have bad rubbing on the front rear fenders on the cab mount. I imagine it is due to the new UCA's pushing the angle backwards but what's the solution? The shop said they can try and realign it to add more caster. Will all aftermarket UCA's do this, should I have stuck with stock UCA's? Add a spacer in the front? Also the back now sits way higher than The front...

    Installing Icon suspension today. The coilover hardware is way to short fit through the holes of the spring bucket and attach the factory bolts! I'm on my way to the hardware store right now but if anybody can chime in I and let me know if I'm doing something wrong here. Nobody's open ie toytec or icon for the professional helpline lol

    Those bolts thread in from the top down into the coil over, i.e. no nuts needed. I just put a dab of blue loctite on each bolt and I've had 15k trouble free miles.

    Thanks fellas. I'm kinda embarrassed... I work 48 hour shifts just got off this a.m. and it is hot as hell today so I'm blaming it on that:D. It is coming along though.
