    Old Man Emu has various springs for different heights/purposes..885 is one of the coils. They have 883-887 I believe, with 886’s being the stiffest springs they have. There is an OME coil/strut chart floating around here somewhere. Or go to @HeadStrong Off-Road and find it.

    Why do the charts have conflicting info?

    Chart 1: 883 is 25mm less than 887, or 1"
    Chart 2: Says 883 is 1.75" less

    Chart 1: Says 884 and 885 are barely any different from 887; 10 and 5mm
    Chart 2: Says they are vastly different, up to 0.75"

    Unless the mm's (14") is height of the spring itself, and the other chart is lift it translates to?
    I hear lift amplifies more than the part size.
    For example like how they say putting a 1/4" spacer actually lifts the affected size 1/2" (doubling it)
    thickness of the spacer piece itself = 1/4", but amount of measured lift at fender is higher

    Trying to figure out what my 887 is sitting at and which spring to go with to take like an inch out and get the height good to work with Icon RXT option 2 in the rear


    Leaning towards 884 because of the chart.
    I could've sworn my 883 was 2" lift in real life (not only 1") and 887: 3"
    Icon RXT is 2.25"+ at op2,
    and truck is designed with some rake
    so if I lift both sides even it will still retain factory rake (a good thing)
    closest thing to add +2.25" even with the RXT up front according to the chart is 884 - hopefully it works.
