    I want to say I paid like $60 but not 100% sure. I've had them awhile.

    Nope everything is great, coils are a little stiff but other than that no issues.

    Yes sir. They were also the stick on ones not in channel. Very flimsy plastic. Just horrible.

    Anyone ever removed the sway bar on a 1st gen DC 4wd on 881 springs with 3/8" alum lift enhancer ? Removed sway bar with 620 Eibach's and liked it. Didn't know about running without it on 881's

    Yes, but the OME coils are softer then the eibachs so there will be more "sway" than your prior experience.

    Ha, what sway(with eibachs)? There is none. Lol. I've said this before, but I'll probably be switching to ome as well. Waiting till I get my plate bumper to see how she rides. Not optimistic it'll be much better. But I'll at least have experience with how each rides and attest to what others have reported as well.

    Oh wow. Ha ha.

    There definitely is some noticeable body roll in my truck. Nothing crazy but it is there. Installing dakars in the rear calmed the roll considerably.

    I took my sway bar off to see if it was the clunking sound I was hearing and I honestly can't tell much of a difference riding around town. Does get better flex on uneven terrain, but the 881's on my armor-less truck hold up just fine in corners.

    Like I said I could be wrong, it's been two years since I ordered them. The in-channels are really nice and super easy to install.

    Nope they're $60. That's the cheapest I could find them so you were right

    I also have no armor or bumper. So I think the 881's will hold it up just fine

    I have 881 with a plate front and they are holding up fine .

    Will probably go to the 882 in a year or so once I get my monies worth out of these
