Installed OME coils and Bilstein today.

I see only one solution. Plate bumper and winch...

Duh.

 

Your question here was kinda already answered but just wanted to point out that the ome coils have different rates and heights to choose from. Which i would prefer over the tall stiff eibachs.

 

I have this set-up. You have to let the springs settle. Patience. The ride will get better. Mine rides great now. Toytec coilovers. Eibach springs and the Bilstein shocks.

 

Correct me if im wrong but arent the eibachs used in the toytec coilovers different than the regular ones used with 5100's and such?

 

The set I received came with the height adjustable 5100s. 620lb. Eibach springs. Made to support some extra weight. They are stiff at first but kind of settle down.

 

Already ordered the relentless on black Friday . Still got a long wait b4 I see it tho And a winch eventually. I still feel like it's gonna be stiff and slam over drops tho when offroading, with even more load on it being compressed more than it is now. Idk we'll see..

About how long did it take? They softened up but only a tiny bit So far. I've read it can take a long time with some.. Actually seems for the worse. Little more, bouncy, on the street now. And it still feels very unmatched with the rear dakars. Which feels like those have softened up quicker than the front has so far..

I'm still gonna hold out and keep it as is, at least until I get my bumper. It's not super horrible. And I feel like anything else I'm gonna lose a lot of height. Right now the height/level is perfect. Idk. I STILL have not really had time to take her off-road. I think I'm just gonna live with it. Its a truck... I kinda wanna try some ome coils. Maybe even some nitros all around at that point. I'm just afraid to lose height. Ha. I'm on the fence with what to do tho. Whether itd be worth it or not. If itd be a considerable change or not that is.

 

OP are you 4x4 or 2wd, 4cyl or 6cyl? I ask because I have the 5100/OME 881s as well and I only got about 1 inch out of them (with the Billies at 0"). I ended up adjusting the Bilsteins to the first setting (.67") to bring it up a tad more, I was disappointed I got so little out of the 881s.

Just picked up a set of Swayaway 2.0 coilovers so the 5100s/881s are soon to be gone anyhow.

 

They are in the lowest grove I do believe. I think that is what is recommended with OME coils. I had them assembled where I got them.
