The mods have begun. Lift setup I'm going with is going to be the OME with 883 springs up front and 895 springs in the rear. Going to stay with stock shocks at the moment being that I want the softer ride. For now anyway. I am also going to get LR UCA's to help with the alignment. For wheels I'm going with the Motometal 957's in matte black in a 17x9.Main questions are #1 do I need a diff drop kit and #2 I'm not sure what offset and backspacing I will need for the wheels? I'm only going to go with a 275-70-17 BFG A/T KO since goodyear doesn't make the Duratrac in a 275, and for now, I don't want to go up to a 285 till I see how all this affects my MPG. Anybody have any answers to those 2 questions? How much do you think this will affect my milage? Sure would appreciate any help.

if you do 883 w/ 895's in the rear your going to have like 3+ inches of rake. Is that what you want?
883's = 1.5-1.75" lift
895's = 10mm less than 3" lift springs
Might want to talk to whoever your buying from and double check your purchase.
I would do 884's + 895's or even 895e's or you could do 883 + 895e and still get a factory rake out of them.

Exactly.
I have the 884 and 895e and have about 1/2" rake, almost level. The 884 gave me 3" of lift and the 895e gave around 2.5".
As stated above, the 883 give less lift while the 895 (no e) give more lift then the setup I have!
You can check out my ride in the lifted section page 36 for higher quality pics.
Hope this helps...
