5100's with OME 885's and Rear AAL (PICS)

Mine are -12 offset which gives 4.5 inch backspace. This is ideal

 

can't seems to locate Method's at 17" with -12 offset and 4.5" backspace

 

Sorry mine are 18's. The 17's will be 4.75 backspace with 00 setback.

 

aha.....gotcha

need to re-read the wheel specs on how to read wheel specs.....god I confused myself....haha

 

There is only one size offset in the 17" NV's. Check their page or tire rack.com has them too I think. I think one measurement is 4.5 and one is 0. I think they are tucked perfect. Sticking out barely about even at top, and not tucked in at all but not chicano loco.

I did not use the diff drop.

 

Ok, so I have a 16 TRDOR 4x4 and I'm looking at this same lift. 5100's all the way around with 885's and an AAL in the back. I'm wanting this same turnout as sandytrd87's sport has. And I'm wanting to keep the 5100's set at 0 just because I don't want to load up the shocks if I don't have to. Has onyone does this same lift with a 4x4? And how much with the extra weight of it being a 4x4 really affect the 885's? Worst comes to worst I could bump up to .85 and get what I'm looking for. I'm wanting a 2.25- 2.50 inch lift, no more. I'm trying to stay away from getting new UCA's. Thanks.

 

I think 885 set to 0 will give you 2 and a nice ride. I think 885 set to .85 will give you 2.5. Call over to Headstrongoffroad.com and they will give you the best combo. Thats what I did.

 

Go with 887s. Same spring rate as the 885s but they are slightly taller.

 

I agree. That's what I have

 

Will they still keep my in the range of running my stock UCA's?

 

Do you have pictures or link to thread?

 

read through this thread. I think it has a lot of info. Also ask @ridez. I copied my set up from him. Call Marie at headstrongofroad.com and she will answer all your questions. It's the easiest thing to do to get it right.

 

O

Ok, thanks a lot!

 

I have 5100s at .85 plus 887s from Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road. We're thinking that we'll be ok without UCAs. My truck is a couple of days out, so I'll re-update once it's in and the kit is put on.

 

Yes, please do!

 

If you want to go 2-3" I would get UCAs.

 

Is went with 5100 at .85 in front and ome in the rear. It sits about .5" higher in the front. I was going to have a 1" spacer put in the rear. Is the 887 a better option? I can't take the front being higher. People tell me it's not noticeable but it is an eye sore to me.

 

What are the problems with stock UCA's other than possible alignment problems? Will they end up hitting the coils when extended?

 

You may or may not have some rubbing issues but the UCA will help with allowing the alignment more room. I've heard of guys not running UCA and within specs for alignment but they have wandering issues while on the highway. 2.5-3 inches you are pushing the limit. Remember the Gen 3 already gives you a inch.

 

I'm wanting to run my stock trd 16" wheels. Would I be better running a 265/75 16 or 285/75 16?
