OME 885 With Bull Bar and Winch?

[Derek G]

Anyone running OME 885's in the front with a bull bar and winch? It seems like the 886 springs may ride a little too rough for me so I'm thinking of going with this set up. Anyone else running this?

I have 886's on mine and it rides very stiff. I chose those because I planned to buy a full steel bumper and winch , but I have been driving it without for 2 years. Honestly, its very liveable for me,but def needs some weight up there. if you plan on putting weight up front I would go for the 886 to keep the height. But get the springs and the bull bar ect at the same time to. If you are very sensitive to a little bouncing:frog: over bumps and dont mind loosing a little height then go 885

If you have a V8 then def the 886's

I've already got the bull bar mounted, minus the winch which I'll put on once I do the suspension. Which shocks are you running with the 886?

I have the OM Emu nitro shocks that came with the kit. I have the heavy load V8 (recomended) springs up front ant the medium in the rear, all OME shocks too. The truck def likes to have weight in it. I get a little bounce in the rear unless I have some people or stuff in the back. I'll admit I just wanted to go as high as I could with the OME, the winch and bumper should help out the stiff ride. My winch is here and it weighs like 80 lbs plus the demello bumper at like 100 lbs. Do you have a V6 or V8 ?

I've got the V8, but still thinking of going with the 885's as it shouldn't sacrifice much in height compared to the 886 from what I've been told, even with the extra weight. Do you have the OME Nitrocharger or Nitrocharger Sport shocks.

Sport , I think, but it was a couple of years ago so Im not sure. Ive never seen another lifted 4th gen in person, so I couldn't tell you the difference in height to anything else.

Get the 886 ... I Have ARb front bumper with warn 9000 winch ... Firm yet smooth ... Dont go light if you are really going to add winch and go off road.
As you can see I have alot of extra weight on the rear as well, also Use BFG 255/85/16 KM2 Tires So Its about the tallest profile..
