I've got the OME 850J & 863J springs sitting in the garage... and planned on getting some pro comp shocks to go with them.
Front #927530 Open 27.76 - Closed 16.27 - Travel 11.49
Rear #927514 Open 27.76 - Closed 16.27 - Travel 11.49
But after reading this thread here ... I'm strongly considering the Doetsch Shocks instead since they arent much more and seem to be a bit stiffer & maybe better quality ? then the pro comps...
After speaking w/ the OP on that thread, thank you 'slowsuki'.
Here are the options I have so far from Doetsch...
Front #8385 - Open 28.50 - Closed 16.00 - Travel 12.50
Rear #8386 - Open 29.50 - Closed 17.00 - Travel 12.50
or
Front #8361 Open 25.50 - Closed 14.50 - Travel 11.00
Rear #8350 Open 26.50 - Closed 15.50 - Travel 11.00
Which in any event, if I bought the OME kit, the shocks that woulda came with them would have been the following:
N73L*Front | Open 26.2" | Closed 14.9" / Travel roughly 11" give or take
N74L*Rear | Open 26.4" | Closed 15.6" / Travel roughly 11" give or take
SO, right now the truck is 100% stock, and I plan on running 33's at the end of the year (unless someone suggests differently for some reason)
And eventually would be running a rear bumper/tire carrier, sliders and a ARB bumper w/out winch. Full length roof rack and thats about it.
Obviously plans change, but thats the basis so far with no plans for anything super crazy ... as far as weight/gear ...
Would there be any negative effect to running the longer shocks ?
As far as driving conditions, it is a DD and right now not see'ing any trails or anything but want to get into it soon & as time allows.
Also, does putting trim packers affect shock choice ?
Thanks
