    Mostly stuff I built.
    May not be in all cases but when I hook my car hauler to the back of the truck and load my ‘85 Toyota on that is a game changer. All depends on each of our own usage. You also need to know your own and the vehicles limitations.

    Looks fantastic! Were you told you needed the UCAs or just something you thought would be better? How's the ride compared to stock with all that heavy duty suspension gear? Do you plan on adding armor and a winch later?

    Thanks. I kept reading its easier to align at 3" with uca so i save a bit and got them. Rides no different from stockbin the rear with heavy duty dakars. The front rides better, no more dipping or cornerng leans. No plans for armour, just had a baby so its been put on hiatus

    What made you decide to go with the 888s over the 887s even though you don't have extra weight up front?

    I originally planned on installing a slimline front bumper. I still haven't added anything up front but the 888 still feels perfect with the factory front bumper. I also read on TW with other members who added 888s without extra weight and they were happy as well. It has a slight sporty feel to it but not harsh at all in my opinion.

    I also ran 888's up front before I installed a bumper and winch, and it was just fine.

    My experience is that all the 888s do is add more height. I could be wrong as I'm still learning.

    Coil Specifications
    OME 884 coils 590 lbs spring rate 390 mm in length
    OME 885 Coils 590 lbs spring rate 395 mm in length
    OME 886 coils 660 lb spring rate 402 mm in length
    OME 887 coils 590 spring rate 400 mm in length
    OME 888 coils 590 spring rate 405 mm in length

    Really wish they made a 405mm 700 lb spring rate..

    Thinking about trying 2705 coils on my truck to support all the extra weight I have. 415mm 720 lb spring rate. The 2886 coils only net about 1.5” of lift on my truck.


    Edit: 2705 coils are in no way tested or approved by OME.

    Yea, I think that would fill a huge gap in the market. You can't be alone.

    Currently my truck has a ReadyLift kit on it. 3" front and 2" back lift. (Strut spacer / blocks)

    Also, has the diff mount and sway bar relocation blocks.

    Going to be installing the full medium OME kit.

    Question is, should I remove the DD and / or the sway bar blocks? Or leave them?

    Thanks
