Re: Ok, I've got it figured out. Now I just need Advise!

IMO:

Once you get a lift you will want larger tires. I still have the OEM rims and tires and studded snows that I wish filled the wells a little better, Additionally, larger tires are one of the primary reasons to get a lift, so might as well take advantage.

I would stay away from spacers if you want to offset the additional weight up front. The OME may not give you the maximum lift, but will definitely give you better ride and control than the OEM set up with spacers. They also came out with 10mm enhancers and 5mm trim packers to give it a little bump.

I run an ARB with and XD9000 and have the OME 886/896 with 5mm trim packer. I've been running that set up for over a year with no problems or complaints and I honestly don't believe it's has sagged, just doesn't look as dramatic as the first time I looked at it with the lift.

Look ahead: I started with the medium OME springs front and rear, but after a few expedition runs, had to upgrade to handle the weight, which ended up being an annoying additional expense.
