Thoughs on OME + Spacer
I currently am running 890 ome coils in the rear of my runner and 2.5 daystar spacers on front struts, with procomp es9000 all around. was wondering if i bought ome 880 coils and stacked 2.5 daystar spacers my ride would still be better. thoughts would be great, thanks!

IMHO, I think spacers on top of coils run a bit stiff...but, it all depends how much trail or street your rig sees. If it is a daily driver, you probably could get by. In the big scheme of things for a better ride, save your dough and upgrade your lift, or atleast lose the spacers, I mean.

I'd try better shocks fore I'd do all that...
In my experience, ProComp is the Sears of lift kits and accessories. They have somebody else build the unit and put their name on it.
No experience with those shocks, but procomp doesn't exactly scream high quality with me. (See your local 4Wheel Parts catalog, or website)
Bilstein, does. The only two shocks I'd run on my stuff, given the choice would be OME, and Bilstein.
Why Bilstein? B/c to my knowledge, they test every shock they model of shock they make on the corresponding truck, to get the valving as best as possible. I.e, not on computers, or CAD or by figures... They have track, they take truck, and they take shock valved for that truck, install it and go to the track.
