    Yeah I saw all that. I more or less wanted photos and shit. Those are 16in rims. I have them. But I was hoping he would just give me details in general when he realized I was wanting to do the same thing. Maybe some advice on what he would have done different or something.

    If I wanted the same lift but wanted to acquire it through coils and 5100's at 0 what would I need to get? 888?

    This guide should help as far as OME coils paired with 5100s.

    Can anyone say whether the OR has progressive coil springs and all other models have linear coils?

    Before...IMG_0615.jpg
    After..
    IMG_0638.jpg

    Gained 2.5" up front after settling
    Dakars were 2.5" as well

    There is 1 5/8" different from front to rear which is super close to factory rake.

    ECGS Bushing went well, I have enough pictures for a step by step write up on it.

    Did not use the drop diff.

    Extended brakelines have not shown up yet. All-Pro was nice enough to leave out the information of which they did not have in stock.

    THE RIDE IS SO SMOOTH! NH is frost heave central and the suspension soaks it up so nice. Very responsive but plush.

    Wheels and tires early summer. Depending on the front settling more I may move 1/4" spacer to passenger side and install a 1/2" spacer on driver side. The pictures dont do it justice. This is such a sweet setup im so happy I did it

    I looked on the chart from headstrong outlining how much lift you'll get given coil selection and and different truck cab configurations and saw that the 5100 and 887 on a Off road double cab only gets 2.25 of lift. Is that true. I was hoping I'd get almost 3. Anyone running second notch with 5100's and 887?

    5100's with 887 coils first notch. Its not recomended to preload these spring but others do. My front end added 2.5" so the chart i think is more of a reference than an exact. Like i said in my updated post I'm probably going to end up swapping some spacers around.

    Well after a few days my front end seemed to have dropped a bit more. Keep in mind i havent changed my upper control arms. Any ideas on swapping around front spacers, going up a notch on my 5100's or do i pull the second overload off of the Dakars?
