coil over lift vs. coil lift

thanks longhorntaco. i appreciate all the help guys

 

do you guys think the 884s would be ok for my access cab or would the 885s be better?

 

Lots on conservation going on here. Chris, I think you about covered it with your solid explanations. Here are a few additional points.

1. Adjust ability - The OME kit can not be adjusted with a spanner wrench where as the 5100 Coil over kit can be fine tuned to compensate for things like "taco lean" or the added weight or a bumper. I have my driver's adjuster side set about 1/2" higher than the passenger to make up for a bad taco lean. The result is that the truck sits perfectly level. This could not have been achieved with the OME kit.

2. Warranty - The Bilsteins in the ToyTec kit come with a lifetime warranty while I believe the OME stuff has a 2 year/40000km warranty.

3. If you order from ToyTec I can get you a discount so your price will be lower than $799.99

4.Another less expensive option would be to buy the 5100 adjustable kit and the shocks separately and build the adjustable coil overs using your stock top plates. Hope this helps.

 

Cool!!! To clarify I meant adjustable with a spanner wrench and some strong muscles . I edited my original post.

 

And to clarify, strong muscles = He-Man muscles if you want to adjust those things while they're still on the truck...

 

Hey how much do you bench? - Just Kidding. Ha ha ha

 

not enough...

 

Yeah, when I had to adjust mine, I took them off.

And once you get it down, adjusting them without relieving the spring tension isn't very difficult. Plus, since I don't have a wall mount compressor, it's kinda necessary...

 

Where do you get these trim packers?

Thanks

Gary

 

I found this from OME:
