    I really cannot find a ton of info on these coils and just trying to make sense of them. Now I'll start off by saying I have 885x's with a top plate spacer and I'm 22 1/2 hub to fender and about 50lbs of weight up front with a mobtown recovery bar.
    With that being said I thought about doing 887's....but now see these 888's. The talk of the town is they are 3rd gen specific....my understanding is these trucks have identical suspension geometry?

    What would make me not want to buy them? We all know they'll sag below the 3" anyways. Just looking for insight.

    Bump
    Anybody have any thoughts on this? I think these would be a better solution than 886's with the intention of bumpers and skids considering it has the same spring rate as 85's and 87's.

    I think the specs are that they are about a centimeter longer than the 887s but with the same spring rate- so depending on your front end weight you should be able to get a full 3" of lift without a top plate spacer.

    You should go for it and post up results :thumbsup:

    Been here 15 years. Spent 1 year in Summit County, Colorado - other than that, I lived in Ohio the rest of my life. Left when I was 26.

    That's part of the reason I'm building the truck....I've never been further west then Missouri....I'm ready for a week of driving, seeing new terrain, and doing some exploring.

    Let me know if you're headed to/ near Glacier National Park. I'll give you a couple spots to see that are off the beaten path.

    I would look and see how much compression of your shock you have left at full bump (pull the coil out and cycle the suspension). If you have shock shaft showing, i would stick with 887's and a half inch top plate spacer so you utilize the full shock, vs running the 888 which will have less droop compared to the 887+ top plate spacer and overall same lift.
