Need a little advice on OME coil springs

Truck is running General springs regular duty leaf springs with a ,slightly cut down, 1.5 AAL from wheelers. THe front springs are the stockers on 5100s on the middle notch, 3 postion bilsteins.

I need another inch of lift in the front. My plan is to ditch the stock front springs and go with OME 881 springs. I'm hoping that will give me another inch and allow me to move the adjuster on the strut back to the bottom.

Any thoughts?

 

Got this directly from headstrong off road

Hope it helps

 

Info from wheelers off-road

 

If you are on the middle notch you have approx 1.75-2” of front lift. If you want another inch on top of that you are looking for 2.5-3” of lift. You will need to run 882s or eibachs. I’m running eibachs with 5100s on zero and it gave me 3” up front and blew my cvs in a week.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping the 881's will put it where I want it. The middle setting on the bilsteins is 1.25 in. With my worn out stock springs, I'm currently probably only getting 1 in. 881's are showing somewhere around 2 in. lift. Worse case is the 881's raise it too much...

 

I ran 881s at one point. You’ll settle around 1.5-1.75”

 

Wheelers is showing 1.25 in on the middle setting. My cv angle is pretty flat as it sits, even jacked up the extra inch, it's still pretty flat. My stock springs are worked...

 

You will end up around the same height you are now w 5100 at zero and 881. Maybe gain 1/4-1/2”. Depending how bad your stock springs are of course.

 

Well that aint' gonna work. GO with the 882s?

 

I would

 

Any idea what the stock ride height is?

 

I don’t sorry

 

Got my 881's installed, 5100 on bottom setting. Gained a little over 3/4 inch, over the stock springs on the middle setting. I've got about 3/4in. of rake front to back, with my 1.5 aal.
