    Welcome!

    I've got the same kit. It's worked well enough so far, except I really do want to upgrade and I've only had it on the truck for about 3 months.

    I've done all kinds of trails with it though, so not much to complain about for the $.

    I agree with @dtaco06 to buy once cry once. However... the big 3 are bookoo bucks. What you have selected will be just fine. Plenty of happy campers with those. But you will in fact be wanting a big 3 after you feel and see what they can do. I highly suggest you get UCAs asap however. In my opinion I like the OME suspension over the billsteins for the price point.

    I think my biggest regret was going with the 881s and not doing the 885s. When I add a bumper I'm likely going to be looking at some sagging. Will probably have to pick up better coils when that day comes.

    Yeah, I'm sure I'll want to upgrade sooner than later, but I think this setup will have to do for a while. I appreciate the input guys, and hope to get this done and meet you guys on the trails eventually.

    Not sure about either.

    I placed my order over the phone. Bought both the bumper and sliders at the same time. It's whatever they actually had available for sale right then.

    I'm going to look for an invoice. One sec.

    Based on price, they're HREW. Still doesn't mention the diameter of tubing.

    I was never asked about an option. They just said "we actually have a set of sliders with kick out available" and I bought em.

    Respect. I was just curious. I really like CBI. They also did great work on the '16 bumper which you have and I told ya the lines look super sharp.

    I think the average cost for a complete kit is around 3k, could be less could be a lot more depending on what variety

    Depends which one you go with and what you're going for. My kings with resi's (went 12" in the rear), UCAs, and Dakar's were $2900. Plus spring bushings, carrier bearing drop, rear BAMF shock relocation kit, cv boot axel boot clamshell bushing, extended brake lines, bump stops, etc. Small ticket items away from the meat of the suspension

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    CB already has a pretty terrible transmission range.
