Spring info.....

I found this. It's very helpful in explaining the differences between OME coils. It's all metric though, the USCS chart is lacking a lot of info, but I'm sure all you smart fellas will be able to figure it out.

 

i'm curious how much of a difference there is between the 883s and the eibachs. size wise they are almost the same but what strength and ride quality?

 

Chris4x4 what additonal lift will i get from the OME 884-885 with 5100 set at .085?
or should i put the 5100 at 0 as the .085 setting and OME would bring me over 2.5 which isnt good......nevermind i figured it out

 

It doesnt matter what works with what, the most important issue is liability.

 

Okay, i'm confused. I just bought a set of 5100's and i'm worried about coils and lift. I would like to get a 2.5 in lift out of them; do I stick with the coils I have on there now? Do I need to buy something else before they're installed? Can I get a full lift out of them and will the back shocks level out the rear of the truck? I've read every thread I can find and still can't find an answer.

 

You can use the 5100's with the stock coils if you like.. The rear shocks do not provide any lift. You would need an add-a-leaf to lift the rear.

 

Ya, I was just reading another post and saw that the AAL's or blocks would be the way to go.... Now the question is; AAL's or blocks? Is there a difference between them as far as reliability, strength or installation cost?

thanks.

 

Cost is roughly the same. AAL's are all around a better choice though.

 

Edit: Crap didn't realize I was posting in Toyotec's forum. Sorry

 

in between the 5100 and the ome shocks which ones have a longer travel length? and what would make the ome shocks more qualified to be ran with the ome coils?

 

FWIW i'm running ome 881 with 5100 set to 0. No problems yet.

 

It's the R&D concept....The OME springs were made to go with the OME shocks- Much like Toytec said the Eibach springs are made for 5100's. The company made the fit together and where they are a system with very specific interactions....Probably makes sense to keep them paired.

 

Really the "fit" is more the OME shock to the spring. The valving and the shock style for the spring...Not that they can't work together.
Plus I'm a huge fan of keeping the parts together on a personal level...

 

Thanks for this. I have been looking around the net for it.

 

Been running the 5100's at 0 with the OME 882's for over a year and i've had no problems, my truck actually handles and rides way better then it did stock.
