OME/Bilstein settings??

O.K. I recently bought (have not arrived, yet) a set of OME 885's of a member. I also have a new set of 5100's. Since the ad for the 885's say they give 2" of lift, should I set my 5100's at .85" to stay close to my 2.5" of lift?? Or if I should I set the 5100's at 2.5", how do I go about this???

 

Really? Well, that sucks. I was so excited about getting to use my adjustible Bilsteins

 

Yep. Still I wonder why the ad says 2" of lift?

 

Oh, um, ok. Thank ya kindly.

 

The advertised lift is "2" inches. So, it is 2 or 3?? I e-mailed OME to get some further info.

 

Ok, so I will just leave my 5100's at the stock height, as Chris suggested? That will give me somewhere between 2.5-3" which is where I want to be. That is unless of course, the old ad is right and I get 2" of lift..............

 

Great. That just tickles my ass. I guess it will be trial and error.

 

It says 2", so I would have to set the 5100's at .85 to get close to what I want.

 

Crap!!!!

 

I just looked at the All Pro leafs, there ad says "Not for weight carrying", have you hauled or towed anything with them. I am a little concerned about that.

 

I occassionally tow a horse trailer, so I don't know if those would hold up. Plus my shoeing gear (which I haul daily) is around 400 pounds. I would like the 3" set but I would hate to trash them if they can't hold up.

 

All Pro has their 4" leaf springs on sale for just under $300!!!!

Of course, the 3" that I want are listed at $319.

I am curious though, the ad says for towing you should add some type of assistance device such as bags or bump stops. I wonder if a set of Timbrens would make a difference when towing?

 

Still no word from OME. The coils arrived today. But I am not going to install until i know for sure.

 

Yep. I contacted ALL Pro about the leaf packs, to see what the load capacity is. I like the 3" option and I LOVE the price BUT I do not want to buy them if they are gonna crap out when I tow.
