    Thats about what I saw with my OME lift with 887s. I got about 2.5-2.75 in the front and about 2.75 in the rear. I have full steel skids and sliders and a topper so I have some weight. I upgraded to the HD leaf pack when I got my RTT so now when I'm unloaded its at about 3 in the rear but with my full camping set up its a lot lower.

    Helped my crawlboxes fit.
    Might be able to reduce it to 5/8"
    It did give me room for more up travel.

    Found this post while looking at info about deleting my sway bar, but if you don’t there’s sway bar drop kits that are required for aftermarket coils to clear the sway bar. Multiple companies make them, I have one from torch offroad. $50 and easy to install.

    I haven't had a sway bar on my truck for 10 years.

    I've done a few emergency maneuvers at freeway speeds and ive been ok. Never did the truck, "feel" like it was going to roll over.

    Now the warning is my truck has a full leaf pack and coil over suspension upgrades so the suspension is stiffer than normal.

    Hey thank you for the input I install them on the other day while I was at work and it took about 10 minutes and separated the swaybar from the coil springs a good couple inches it’s so much nicer now without that stupid sound
