    Yeah I just tend to get paranoid about failures so I tend to back things up (a pair of stands where one would be fine) so you should be totally fine. I think I just watched too many engineering disasters episodes on the history channel, its why I hate rollercoasters!

    Alright guys I need some info. I have an 08 dbl cab 4x4 running stock coils with 5100 height adj. shocks on the front and AAL on the rear. I need to replace my coils and height adj. shocks all the way around. I'm trying to get back to my stance before the coils started sagging. What OME coils do I need? 2885 or 2886? Thanks

    Do you have a bumper or armor or any extra weight in front?

    885s will be a better ride than 886s, lots of info on the topic all over the site. Check out "ome: questions, answers, pictures" or similar threads for lots of info on 885, 886, 887 and which struts can run with which coils

    Yes, a lot of people go with OME coils and billie shocks on here.

    You can run them with billies. Many people do it to avoid OSGC.

    Maybe someone else with some experience can confirm? I have done about 2 months research on my lift before making the purchase and I found near half of the people running full ome and the other half with ome coils and billie shocks.

    Confirmed. I just put 885's on my Bilsteins on this week. The ride is great. Slightly disappointed in the height after it settled. 2" exactly was hoping it would be closer to 2.5"

    Yes Billies and ome work great together. Softer ride compared to your nitrocharger shocks from ome aswell. I ran 885s with Billies and now I'm running 886s and I have gotten compliments on my ride from guys who run the full ome kits.
