Bilstein 5100's and OME 885 coils?

I already have the Billy 5100's arriving this week sometime. Got to thinking that I may just upgrade the coils while I am at it. Plan to add the 1/4 spacer to eliminate the taco lean as well. thoughts on this?

Suggestions on the best coil and 5100 combo? I would like to achieve a decent lift, but maintain a decent ride. Anyone running the 885's with Bilstein 5100's? infor appreciated.

thanks in advance-

There are alot of guys on here running the 885's with 5100's!

 

i thought u couldnt run the 5100's with the 885's only the 884 or 883 i think thats what it says on toytec website

 

Well you can and thats what I am running are the 885's with the 5100's. You have to leave the 5100's at the stock height setting since the coils will be doing the lift. I would suggest going with the 886's if you are the long bed though.

 

Are you running a spacer with that as well like everyone elese seems to be doing or just the 5100 and 885.. Just wondering what height you get without a spacer.
I just ordered 885s for my 5100s and wondering if I should get spacers as well.

 

ok but with the 884 u can set the 5100's at .85 heard of alot of guys doin that

and how the ride with the 885's wanted them and did u only get 2" outa them??

 

that's a good setup!

 

Will run with the Toytec/Eibach coils and the 5100's set at .85. Should prove to be exactly what I am after. I am hoping to stay under the radar an not have to have UCA's for caster and camber.

Also ordered the 1/4" spacer to remove the Tacoma lean. Figured might as well add it while I am having the work done. Thanks to Jen for her help today with my order.

 

i have 885 w/ 5100 at 0, with 1/2 inch spacer... to get a full 3" i needed the spacer

 

I'm also running 885's with 5100's.. Ive had the setup for about 3 weeks and i'm overall happy with it. It did good off road.

No spacer though. I just set the 5100's at 0" and got close to 3" of lift.

 

awesome well looks like i'm getting the 885's now lol thanks guys

 

Ditto, that is my setup for 6 mos now and real pleased with the lift/ride on DCLB. Included LR UCA's for alignment ease.

 

I've got 5100's set at stock height with 885 coils plus a 13mm spacer on both sides and an extra 1/4" on the drivers side. It rides a little rough but its much better then the 5100's set at 2.5". In retrospect I wish i went with all OME stuff right from the beginning

 

Can you run the 885 coils with the stock uca's? I've heard mixed input on this. This is the setup I am planning on doing within the next couple of weeks and want to make sure it'll work ok.

 

thanks chris.

does anyone here run them without new uca's? any input or thoughts on it otherwise?
