Ome coils

are there any identifiers that can distinguish which coils are which? I got a paper tag thatthat says 888 but im not getting the 3” of lift i was expecting out of them. Are there serial numbers or any other reference to know for sure?

 

Doubt the sticker is wrong. The only way to differentiate them from a 885 or 887 coil would be to uninstall and measure free height.

 

How long has it been installed? The shock definitely doesn't look new

 

Since last november. Been through 1 winter

 

If the sticker says 888 I guess it's 888. Did you have 3" to begin with last November? Maybe it's sagging???

 

And I don't remember seeing any stamped part number on my 887s

 

Yeah it settled a little but stupid me didnt take before numbers so it was always a guess. All i got is pics

 

That sucks. I cant remember if OME warranties their coils. I'd look into that.

 

Now im thinking 2” is correct for 3rd gens


3” for 2nd gens

 

Well yes I got showed that picture too from their actual website but yours does look noticeably shorter than usual. I believe people are getting 2.5-3 inches lift.

 

Well measurement from center of hub to fender is 23” which means im at 2” lift so on par with their website but Some people look higher, so hmmmmm. Maybe the 2.5” block in back makes the frint look sagging. I got like 3” of rake

 

Lol cant believe ive spent a few days about 1/2”. Im gonna settle with it as normal and stop pulling my hair out

 

Pssst....,don't tell anyone, take that front air dame off and it will look about 3 inches higher.

 

Oh thats an old pic. Heres it now

 

Reducing the block in the back will Will help. You don't need 2.5 inch block. Just a decent aal.

 

Ya thats on the mod list. Maybe just need 1” in the back. Damn 4wheel parts again. Thats all they had that day and i didnt want to leave the truck over the weekend or longer

 

Why not through a .5" spacer up front?

 

I have a 1 inch block, 2 extra short leaves (not a aal) and hellwig helper springs cranked down to max in the back. I am close to 4 inches. I need to remove the helper or at least loosen them and stick in my 1.5 aal and maybe one more leaf and I might be able to remove the block. It this or a whole new leaf pack that I can't afford. Sonfranjenstein it is. Got to play with it and fine tune it.

 

Yeah 4” is just too high. At 2.5 i think too much, well unless i could get 4-5 in front

 

Yeah i might add that at a later date when 285s and ucas are needed
