Fabtech, ProComp 6" lift or more. Pictures

Those with a fabtech 6” spacer lift. I’m planning on replacing mine with the rcd shocks but am debating on what springs to use. I’m thinking of the eibach 521600, wheelers t1, headstrong 2”, and ome 886. My only concern is I have aftermarket bumper, winch, and sliders. I’m not sure if the 600lb spring ratings are enough for the extra weight up front, therefore I threw in the 886 in the mix. Any recommendations or other springs to look into. Thx.

 

In the same exact boat, weight wise I need the the 886 but thinking I'll be sitting to high as a result. I have the 1.5" eibach and lost a bit of height over stock fabtech spacer.

 

600 lb springs with a winch equipped steel bumper is going to be a little light. I'd look at 650 or 700s.

 

Yup, that’s why I’m asking if anyone knows any other springs with a higher rate that can be used with the extended Bilsteins. So I guess I’ll be leaning towards the OME 886. Anyone done this? How’s the ride and height?

 

According to Headstrong's website they are rated at 660

https://www.headstrongoffroad.com/s...-__Various_Lift_Heights_Available_(PAIR).html

• OME 883: 375mm in height, 590 pound spring rate

• OME 884: 390mm in height 590 pound spring rate

• OME 885: 395mm in height 590 pound spring rate

• OME 886: 402mm in height 660 pound spring rate

• OME 887: 400mm in height 590 pound spring rate

• OME 888: 405 mm in height 590 pound spring rate

 

Hey guys, I just came across this in YouTube. Looks like the same concept as the extended bilstein/rcd. Anyone tried or has this on regular 5100’s? Doesn’t this change the travel length? Probably different than the rcd billies.

Would just cause preload on the spring as you are compressing it with the larger/thicker spring perch. Will may lose some travel as you are essentially making your coil stiffer. You will gain just a little bit of lift as the larger perch does not allow the spring to compress as much. This is one way to deal with extra weight on the front end such as plate bumpers, armor and winches.

 

Anybody running after market up with control alarms with their 6 inch lifts I’m running a zone 6 inch with fox coil overs and wondering about adding some total chaos upper control arms anybody starts and put a big really appreciate it thanks and happy holidays to you and your families

 

I ran the SPC uca's when I had my truck. Didn't really need them but installed if I ever wanted to go higher down the road. Also was not running coilovers but the rcd full length shocks in front.

 

6” zone lift


This weekend full fox up front with Total Chaos UCAs to remove spacer and OME Dakars in rear...

QUESTION?

The rear is stock springs on 4” block
With the new leaf pack w/ 2.75” lift would you got to a 3” or 2” block to level the rear also going to adjust preload up front an extra 1.5” for a full 7.5” up front lift so a little rake will be be fine.

Thoughts?

 

How do you attach the lights?

 

I'd look for rear springs that are the height you want vs adding a block to the Dakars

 

Would have liked that route but budgetary constraints and smoking deal on the daks...

 

...at least getting rid of crappie stock

 

I ran the allpro expo's and a 2" block.

 

Gotta drill holes for mounting them.

 

Where did you get the lights looks great

 

Amazon for around $28 dollars shipped.

 

MC love your truck looks incredible I’m getting ready to do the same thing I just got my fox coil overs for 6 in lift and was wondering did You just replace the front struts and spacer and leave it at the same level that it was that or did you go up in height at all and if you did go up in height did you encounter any problems with any of the Toyota features if you have any of them like traction control and ABS etc. you know if you have any of those did you have any problem at those getting those all ironed out when you had your alignment done
