What shocks did you go with to increase travel over the OMEN86's? Did you do anything to the bump stops to compensate for a longer set of shocks by descreasing some of the up travel?

I have never run OME shocks. I have always had doetsch tech shocks in the rear. I just got a slightly longer set. Not to mention my springs reach maximum compression right as they start to rub the fender.

Do you happen to know your extended and compressed lengths for your rear shocks? I'm just curious to see what the difference is between them and the OME's.

Hey 44 I was talking to my buddy and he thinks the links are going to pull the rear tires forward into the fenders if I dont extend them, kinda make sense am I wrong ? How did yours work ? I like the idea of keeping the coils and 4 link, lemme know !

Yes, lifting it does pull it forward, but it also pushes it down where the tire is not so wide. When it compresses it still centers the tire in the wheel well so there is no problem. Not to mention that it doesn't pull it forward all that much. Not even really noticable unless you are looking for it...

Yes. It looks like I will be selling the truck in the near future most likely. The initial offering will be at 22k which of course is still a HUGE loss for me. Everything will stay on the truck though. Most people have told me to sell off the expensive parts but I think that would kind of suck. Everything will stay as is so the buyer will be getting a fully decked out truck. It is a turn key rock crawler. Not to mention it is low mileage (53k right now), 5sp, supercharged, relatively new 35x12.50 MTRs, and has a perfectly straight body and a brand new TRD clutch (replaced at 49k). A better 3rd Gen cannot be found, especially for the price.
