OME/5100 Lift Settlement?

Hey all, thanks for the really cool forum.

I just installed 5100s on my 2010 DCab. I set them at 0 with the OME 885 coils. I had the rear tsb springs done at Toyota.

Right now it sits slightly nose high. Anybody else have this set up? Some guys I've talked to say it will settle. How much will it settle? I have a shell on the back, but I'd like the truck to sit level.

Also, anyone else running stock rims? I want to use larger tires, but it looks like the stock UCAs are really close to the tire. Anybody running larger tires like BFGs have clearance issues? I was considering 265/70/17s

Thanks! I am getting it aligned tomorrow, I'll post pics after.

 

This is after tsb rear springs, and Billy 5100s at 0, with OME 885 coils.

Here's a pic after alignment, sitting nose high by more than I'd like. There is a slight slope in the driveway, but I figured its sitting 1/2 to 3/4 high in the front. I'd like to be level. The shell weighs about 170, so that might be it, but for a truck, that's not much weight.

Not sure if I'm going to stick with this, let it settle (if it does, but then the rear may settle too!), or put the stock coils on the Billys.

BTW, it aligned to spec.

 

Get you a 1.5" AAL for around 80.00 and it should be level. Get some spidertrax wheel spacers and you can run a bigger tire on your stock wheels.

 

Welcome to TW.



I think it looks pretty good. It will settle a little. Dunno how much tho.

Mine settled about half inch maybe lil less.

 

I have the same front end setup you listed but I put the 2" toytec AAL in the rear. The front has probablly settled ~.5" but the rear HAS NOT BUDGED :lol:

I have about the same rake as stock... I need to do something to get the front up a bit more.

 

Thanks. I'm probably going to end up getting new wheels/tires anyway...I tried to tell myself that I like the stock wheels, but I'm leaning towards something like the XD Hoss, all blacked out

 

Also, I'm running a 265/75/16 on stock rim (same OD as 265/70/17) and have absolutely no issues.

 

So it will settle...I'll be patient...I'll try
