    Stiff! Simple as that! But you can find them for a very low price and if you get lucky enough, even for free. It's not the best way to gain an inch, obviously, but it is definitely better than spacers and very close to the Bilsteins 5100.

    With a little weight up front those would be better I think.

    But, the headstrong 2" coils with fiddy one hunnits are definitely and improvement

    Hey guys anyone running the headstrong coils? I'm debating between these and the OME 884 coils on the Bilstein 5100s. Trying to get around 2 more inches of lift. Since I already have spindles on. Thanks in advance.

    I'm running the HS 2" coils. Very much improved ride quality when paired with SPC upper control arms.

    They say the OME technically aren't supposed to be fun with Bilsteins

    That's why they made their own coil

    Hey man how much lift do you have! Are you running wheel spacers or do the rims have 4.5” BS? Truck looks good!

    At that moment I had 4" of the Spindles and 2" in the rear. Yes, those wheels have 4.5 of backspace, but some of the weights of the balancing, rubbed on the Calipers when the wheels was spinning, So I had to grind the calipers a bit and the problem was solved. I had to install wheel spacer on the rear to match the 0.75 of the Spindles. Now I have 5" - 5" 1/4 using 2018 TRD struts, but the front is stiff as fuck. This how the truck looks nowadays.

    The truck looks awesome! Are those 285s? You still have just a 2” block in the rear?

    Yes, they are 285/75r16. Right now I have a 3" block in the rear, but I'm saving for Dakars. They are a bit expensive, so, step by step. :D

    Since my truck is lacking the weight up front of a 4x4 the coils gave me ~2.75" of lift. Then after we put the bumper on it has settled a little bit.

    It's right at about 6.25" up front and feels good.

    That's great. One more question did you use a top plate spacer for the driver side lean? Or were they designed side specific?

    Without going through 600+ pages, can someone tell me how the ride is on the maxtrac 4' lift kit with the 2' block in the rear? Also if you can run a 33x12.5R18 wheels and tires -44 offset. Thanks
