    Hi folks,

    I want to get in on the OME game, but I have a few questions first. I've tried my best researching, but want clarification.

    I have a 4x4 double cab short bed with Bilstein 5100s in the front and rear. My fronts are set at 1.75" and I still have the stock three leaf pack in the rear.

    So...

    I'd like to bump up the overall lift of my truck. Can I go with 884s (with Billies re-set to 0) and throw a 2" add-a-leaf in the rear? I'm slightly nose-up, but it's not very noticeable. I've been looking at Wheeler's Off Road website and saw these:

    OME 884: Add-A-Leafs: I've 265/75/16 Duratracs mounted on 16x8 Konig Countersteer Offroads. I don't need UCAs right?

    Thanks everybody!

    Your alignment should still be good with the 884's though you might want to get the carrier bearing drop to compensate for the AAL or just wait to see if you have vibes.

    My one concern is the valving on the billies working well with the spring rate of the 884s. I'd get some professional assistance with that, but it might not even be a consideration :notsure:

    Lots of people use 885's with the 5100's and being one that does, it's a little on the stiffer side compared to 885's and Nitrochargers but doesn't bother me much as my daily driver has a much stiffer ride than my truck. The 884's will be fine.

    Agreed. I previously ran 884s with 5100s and stock UCA. Ride was great and numbers were in spec.

    Pardon my n00b question (which I'm sure is always asked), but what are the differences between 884 and 885s?

    What did you put up front & what did you get? --- 885 coils for double cab, nitro shocks, LR UCAs

    What did you put in back & what did you get? --- 2" AAL, nitro shocks

    Are you running trail armor & how much lift did you loose or what did you do to regain/maintain lift? --- no trail armor

    Tire & wheel specs & rub or what you did to eliminate rub. 275-70-17 hankooks. very little rub, have not dremmeled off yet.

    Are you still running a sway bar? YES

    884s are for single cabs/access cabs

    885s are for double cabs or single cabs with a heavy plate bumper

    ------

    Front coils: Choose from options 884 coils for std and x cab models, 885 coils for D cab and additional weight, 886 coils for 200+ front weight from aftermarket bumper or winch

    This. And here is the breakdown from the first post

    Spring name/Spring rate (N/mm)/Bar dia/Coil length (mm)

    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]OME 883 / [/FONT]103 / 17 / 375
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]OME 884 / [/FONT]103 / 17 / 385
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]OME 885 / [/FONT]103 / 17 / 395
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica]OME 886 / [/FONT]115 / 18 / 402

    103 = 588 #/in
    115 = 656 #/in

    Basically a difference in length of 10 mm

    What he said but 884's can be used for DC and get about 2" of lift instead of the 2.5" with 885's. 885's are longer.
