I have the big blues. From what I've heard, the suck compared to OME and Rovertym. I have an ARB bumber and the front sags without a winch. As for roll, you're gonna have some. You need the suspension to be soft enough to get good articulation. And define old...

For coils, OME or RTE and pick the right coil for what you want your truck to do.
OME HD shocks are great, standard Bilistines are shorter then stock.
Stay away from the Big Blue's.

I've got RTE HD's on the DII, with OME shocks, and RTE HD's on the truggy with shocks to be named later, lol. On the RRCLWB, I have the Big Blues. They came with the truck when I bought it, and they suck. Brand New, and they suck. If they weren't on it I would have put RTE's on that one too, just MD's since on road mostly.
