Best alternative to 5100s with ome

I’m pulling the trigger on suspension this week. All these posts about ome coils sagging 6 months in has me concerned. What is the best alternative (price wise) to the 5100/ome setup? Are the Toytec boss setups any good?
I want 2” up front and 1 - 1 1/2 in rear.

I’d go fox but I don’t know if they’d be worth it since I don’t Offroad much.

 

100% happy w my 5100’s & 888 OME & Icon leaf spring.. rides better than stock.. and I can still do weekend off-roadin .. for the price you can’t go wrong..

 

Check out Dobinson’s suspension there’s a thread talking about them. I’ve enjoyed mine so far after 3-4K miles. I love the teal color. Can get the shocks and coils in black if that’s your thing.


3/2” lift. Shocks, coils, UCA and Leaf packs.

 

I have said this a few times but I have 5100s on 4th perch and a 1 inch rear block and 265/70/17s and compared with my neighbors taco he has 5100s on OME 888's. Both trucks are long beds but he has an off road. The ride and drive is nearly identical. Oh he is on his second set of springs and he may have switched the out again. I think he is looking for some factory sport springs.

 

I ended up ordering the Eibach pro truck kit and wheelers 3 leaf aal. I spoke with I think Steven at wheelers and he was super helpful. I’ve had Eibach sportlines on my mustang for 10+ years and have had zero issues.
The kit has a million mile warranty and an anti sag guarantee.
Should net 2” in front and 1- 1.5 in rear.
I’ll let u guys know how it turns out.

 

Bilstein 6112 / 5160 with a 3 leaf AAL. You still raise the perch but you get a much better shock.


EDIT:

I see the OP has already decided and bought a setup.

 

I still appreciate the input. If this thread has taught me anything, this won’t be the last suspension setup this truck sees lol

 

Yup. I'm getting ready to switch from 5100s and OME to Dobinsons

 

Eibach ftw

 

Good! What setup do u have?

 

love the setup bro.. your truck looks badass.. perfect choice on the Ridge Grapplers.. what size you running? did you also switch out your UCA's?

 

I also have been noticing a number of people claiming their OME’s sagged so I went with the Dobinson 488r 3” springs with 5100’s in the front and 5160’s with the Icon 3 leaf pack out back.

 

truck looks really good bro..

 

This is the setup I went with. I was leaning toward the 5100s though. Talked to a shop, and wanted to be able to handle sliders and bumper (approx 300 lbs) of constant load plus whatever else I feel like doing and they recommended the 6112/5160s.

 

Just installed a Dobinsons setup. 3" front and rear along with the Upper Control Arms. I had the Fox TRD Pro setup, the ride in this is a little more stiff which I thought the Fox was too soft anyway. Feels good in highway and potholes. Havent taken off road yet but planning on it soon.

 

looks really good bro

 

Thanks dude. Yes UCA were switched out and running 285/75/17.

 

Old post… but OP how’d you end up liking the eibach’s? Still running the same equipment or have you switched?

 

oem springs for the win, as per Bilsteins recommendation.
