Subscribed. Interested in seeing this radflo set-up, if you decide to go with it!

Hey Ebg18t, do you remember where you set the 5100s to get the same height as the OME shocks ?

Thanks!

I only ever used the 5100 on the low perch setting.

definitely worth getting the extended travel. be sure to get a spanner wrench with the order so you can adjust the coilovers

quick question.. If you are adjusting the coilovers don't you have to realign the wheels?

I ordered the Radflo 2.5 kit with extended shocks. It comes with radflo a 2" coils so I may need to get another set of springs to gaining more lift. I may not even install the Radflo if I can find a coil that will give me 2.5" lift with a bit of weight I have in the rear.

you can go to the all pro-3.5 inch springs and be good but I would install the radflos and just see how they sit. you can pop the springs in without putting the shocks on and load the weight to see if you like the stance If you l like it through the shocks on if you don't go for more.

What is your total rear lift with the all pros on ur rig? I know you have a rear bumper so you will have more sag.

You have me mixed up with someone else I believe. lol I don't have the all pro's or a bumper.

I'm currently running the rear radflo 2.5 extended travel shocks with OME HD rear lift springs. The spring rate and coil wrap of the OME's have me sittin at about a 3-4 inch lift; however, I'm not currently running a rear bumper so I'm loosing some flex abilities until I get the proper preload on the coils.

I've been considering getting some all pro springs I believe they have a softer springs rate and taller free height than my current springs and may offer a better ride while still allowing for additional weight. I just haven't jumped on them hoping perhaps they may pop up in the classifieds at some point lol.

Lol. Oops! Do you have the 896 or 895 OME rears springs

 

[aha2988]

896 coils

 

[nytefog]

896 coils

I was told that the 896 would be to rough unless i had 350+ in the cargo area constantly. Do you find this accurate? Thanks

 

[aha2988]

yep that would be accurate lol, I swapped out the shocks and the radflo's dampin the spring rate a lot better though

I find the OME rear shocks a little firm for a unloaded truck. Use a different shock instead.

Shock or coil?

Off topic question..What brand sliders do you have? Are the bolt on or welded?
