    From everything I've read this isn't going to workout in your favor- should only use the first setting if any with OME coils. You're going to have a pretty harsh ride.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/billy-5100s-with-885-ome-lift-coils.70772/

    This is one of the many places I've seen this information.

    I'm about to install a set of Dakar's and was going to put the Firestone Ride Rite Air bags on, why are yours clunking and banging over bumps?!

    Hey sorry my side never showed any replys after I asked last time. So, sorry for bumping.

    I'm running Cooper St maxx which only come in 10 ply 3 ply sidewall which is why it's rough. I will most likely just get new rear springs instead of blocks.
    Alot of you are saying 2885 instead of 2884.
    Anyone with a Dclb put the 2884s in with ome struts? What lift did you get? Thanks for the info

    I have DCLB with ST Maxx 255/80r17 and have just put in the 887 (bigger than the 885). I got exactly 3". I know that's not what you asked tho.

    You're doing it wrong. With 885's you leave the 5100's at 0.

    "Getting rid of the bags out back and adding the Superbumps will fix the rear. I actually think the Daystar cradles were the culprit there. Allowing the bag to lift out of the cradle and slam back down. It's like hitting solid bumps stops every time."

    This is the finished product. The alignment guy had some trouble due to my drivers side cams being froze up. Yeah its pretty stiff and if I drop it to the "0" setting that means I'll have to have another alignment. I was under the impression that the 885s were close to factory coils, my bad I guess. 1466460454087.jpg

    Alignment is going to be cheaper than a set of CV's.

    Most alignment places should offer at least a 30 day warranty.

    Alright I've got the coils back off. Let me get this straight, even if I have an AAL in the rear I still need to run the 5100s on "0"?

    There are a few on here that have that setup at .85 without any complaints. I wouldn't go over that.

    Yeah, they used to add the x back when they were making the changes to the coils to help differentiate between the two. Nowadays they only have one line so they've dropped the x from the part number.
