    Bilstein 5100’s with ome 881 coils on lowest setting, JBA upper control arms, LCE header, 31x10.5x15 falken wildpeaks.
    I have ome 880 coils on the lowest setting. Should I move the clip up or get 881’s? I wanna see the clip on the middle setting with 880 or 881 coils. I have stock rear also.

    I have OME 880's with 5100's on the lowest setting. Got about 2.5" lift which finally settled down to about 2.25." Your truck would ride better with 881's rather than preloading your existing springs more. It's about the same amount of work either way, if it was me I'd just get the taller springs.

    thats on the lowest setting? Mine didn’t seem to get any lift on the lowest setting. 2.5” of lift with ome 880 would require to be on the highest setting.

    yeah I know it’s 2wd. Sits just how I want mine to sit! I love it. Shouldn’t the stance be the similar if not the same though?

    I just figured having a front diff might weigh it down a little more. I haven’t lost any noticeable height since installation

    thats true. I lost 2” since installation. Installed it and it sat at 38” now it’s at 36”. The 2880’s settled a lot. I might buy a whole new set up from where you got them from so they are assembled and I don’t have to mess with them and sell the ones I have.

    they only want 4 hundred and something for preassembled. Is that with coils too? Or you have to add the coils to the cart also?

    Nah it’ll probably be around $700 and you’ll have to click the preassembled option

    I have 880s with 5100s set at 0. I wish I went with 881s. I was afraid of them being too tall but have basically have maybe 1/2”-1” at most of front lift over stock. I do have 4WD and V6 and DC so I should of went 881. I have 1/4” spacers I may put on the front to get where I want. I just want about a 1/2”-1” more lift up front.

    I would trade someone for 881s but I feel like it would take a lot of work to do so unless you lived nearby and we did a swap right there.

    Yea I’ve debated doing that. Not sure how much I would lose doing so but might be worth the peace of mind. I honestly may just do the spacers and live with it and if and when they go out I’ll upgrade to something else.
