Bilstein struts up front and OME rear shocks?

[jrm]

The rear 5100/5th gen coil set up feels under dampened. Anyone running bilstein struts up front and ome shocks on back?

I don't understand folks mixing brands with OME. They have combinations of setups creating the ride you choose, adding in a different brand negates the performance. Obviously I'm a fan of OME having run them on two trucks over 10+ years now without issues. Mix & match if you think you can come up with something better than OME but I think they know more about building a suspension than any of us.

Besides, Bilstein's are short lived and pretty much crap.

895e combined with the 5100s but ended up with a lot more lift than ARB claimed. So removed the 895e and replaced um with the 5th gens. I ran the OME "light rear shock/coil combo on my 3rd gen and really liked it. Im asking about combining the OME shock with the 5th gen coil b/c i'd consider the 5th gen coil a light duty coil in comparison with the 895e and since the 5100s are causing the rear end to wallow..

Besides more lift than you wanted, how did you like the ride quality with the 895E + billies? And if you liked the ride quality with that combo, any weight in the rear?

if i had some weight in back the ride would have been better than it was.
