    What is everyone's opinion. I just ordered bilstein 5100's. I have the option of getting OME 885, eibach 3", or pro comp 3". What would everyone recommend for ride and height both considered?

    IF there are other options please share.

    I rode the stock springs for about 15000 miles on the bilsteins at 1.75" and they were great. Eventually I needed a little travel back so I put on the Toytec/Eiebach springs that have a 1.6" lift so I set the shocks at 0. I also had a Toytec AAL during that time, but I broke it wheeling on a 10k mile road trip. When I got back I set the Bilsteins at .85" with the Toytec springs and swapped out everything in the rear for OME Nitrocharger Sports and Dakar leafs. It's still a great ride, but I've added a winch and will upgrade to OME 886 springs soon enough.

    885's on zero setting will give you about 2.25 to 2.5 inches of lift. Good chance of avoiding having to buy UCA's. Ride is much better than stock.

    I just installed 5100s with 885's. I got 2.5" of lift and I really like the ride. I was able to stay within spec for alignment too.

    Hope this helps.

    Don't think I have seen anyone run that combo..pro comp spring rates are higher than OME..you will likely blow a 5100
