The Lair

Think so?​

 

This makes sense!!!​

Just kinda scratching my head playing around with numbers

Would prefer to only have to buy 'coilovers' once lol

 

yeah, if you want the extra length and same #/in its not bad

 

887s should hold the weight and net me 2"?

 

They'll net you more, around 3" They're the same coil as the 884 and 885 (590 lb coil) but even longer.

 

believe so, normally it gives 2.5 with no steel. Depending on what you have up front it should settle. if you think its too much just go for the same #/in but not extended length coil.

 

Ok cool...Maybe the 886 then?

Ive been thinking about this for days

Finally decided to break down and ask for halp lol

 

you dont want an 886 unless you running winch and steel lol. Mine never settle and net me over 3"

 

@ChadsPride another option I forgot about is these eibach coils. They're a 620lb coil and only will net 1.5" lift, and can throw small spacers on top if you want higher.

For reference, the 883, 884, 885, and 887 are all 590lb coils. The 886 is a 660 lb coil. This is right in the sweet spot.

Those would be too tall, around 2.75". They're even taller than 885 and way too stiff for your needs.

 

Good info!!! 886 are off the board

So why 887s over 885s?

 

Mmmmm. Im liking the sweet spot lingo

 

887 is more of a buffer, at first it will give you more than the 2" you want. Its hard to tell what you want to put on and how it will settle.

 

Now that I remembered those, that's honestly the route I'd go. Then just get extended studs on top of the coilover, so if you want to throw in a 1/4" or 1/2" spacer on top you easily can.

 

We are finally slated to get our first major winter storm Friday night through Saturday!

 

yep we getting some white stuff, need to plan a day to go play in it

 

I really might need a new drive shaft though. I haven't greased my u joints in like 50k miles.

 

Couldn't you just replace the U joints?

 

Well do it

 

Could, yes...

I am going to Friday night.
