OME has a great track record and since you have a local dealer I would go that road just incase you need warranty service. Also see if you have an Ironman dealer. They are also good and similar to OME.
Help me decide: Radflo 2.0 or Toytec

Not sure, I'm back to square one.
For the money, maybe just the Bilstein 5100's from Toytec.
Most of the nicer brands...Icon, Kings, Fox...are pretty expensive. And I'm not convinced that they really are worth the money given my experience with Radflo. just my opinion from someone who doesn't plan on spending $3-4k in suspension

The bilsteins plus what coils front & rear will give 3" /+ of lift?

Did you get a replacement shock from bilstein?

Yeah. I ran then for a while and part of the reason I am on adjustable Fox's now.
But if he wants local dealer/support he may have limited options. The rear dampers are just a tad firm on OME, but again local support can offset the rear damper firmness. That is also why I mentioned Ironman, I believe they have dealers in Panama and combined with a quality product could be a excellent alternative to OME.

Got the OW's for a little cheaper off of crazydubman, I hear the superflex don't come higher on the drivers side so there is a lean.
I'm not sure if the same is true of OW but I guess ill find out

Did you run full front and rear ome? Which front coils did you use and did you have any weight added co was thinking about 885s or 886s but was Leary because I can't adjust them afterwards. I've got a steel bumper but it isn't super heavy but I also haven't weighed it. I'll be adding a second battery and I have aluminum skids. Later I plan to add a roof rack with sliders if any of that helps. Thanks
I had the 885/895 with OME nitro sport dampers. The front was fine, but the dampers were a tad firm if NO weight was in the back. But if there was some weight in the rear it was fine.

Since I just brought this thread up I figured I'd ask the question in here anyways. After more research, I read that OME is good but it sounds a little stiff for what I want. My top two choices are the radflo 2.5 front coilovers(either 590 or 650lb coils, not sure yet) and the rear radflo shocks with the radflo 2" lift coils. The second choice is the fox 2.5 coilover with rear fox 2.0 and the eiback 2" lift coils to match them. The think about the fox's is that there is no coil option and I have a front bumper. I think I'd rather have a heavier coil so I wouldn't have to crank up the shock as much. I've got a v6 4wd with aluminum rci skids and a front steel bumper if that information is needed. Any personal experience would be great, Thanks!
As far as I've seen here and on t120, the only radflos that ever did clunk were the 2.0s. I and many others have the 2.5s and have 0 issues with clunking. There's also never ever been a thread about a 2.5 clunking that wasn't related to low gas charge.

I have the Radflo 2.0 and just recently put on King 14" 650lb coils to compensate for the added weight from winch and front bumper. With regard to fox, i just dont see how you dont have a coil option. I think the fix to that would be to just give them a call and tell them what you want and they will write it up for you. If you go with Radflo go ahead and do the 2.5 with 650lb coils. I love my King 650lb coils i just put on, the ride is outstanding. Hell man we live in the same town, before you make the decision your welcome to ride shotgun haha.

[MENTION=44999]HOJeepster[/MENTION] i know this was a while ago but did you ever decide a different route? Sucks you had so much trouble with your Radflo kit man, I have been nothing but impressed with mine. I saw where you were wanting a more "plush" ride and if you want to maintain atleast 3 inches of lift with plush ride then adjustable coilovers (like Radflo or Toytec) may not be the option. You are probably going to want to go with Icon or Fox or maybe King that has a remote resi system. Either that or some type of Long Travel kit like [MENTION=87687]LTDSC[/MENTION] runs. Best of luck if you havent already made a decision.
