    Anyone try this? Thoughts on it?

    I did have 880's with Billies at 2nd setting...billies gave out, now ride is pretty bouncy...lol.

    I want the same height as above, which by my calculations should be what I listed in the title.

    Any thoughts would be appreciated! Cheers!

    Thats what I have on my rig (5100's with 881 springs) but no spacers. Works well for me.

    I have this with the OME nitrochargers. I drive a double cab prerunner and it gave me almost 3" of lift.

    Thanks Tipicotaco,

    Yeah should have done he nitrous, have them in the back but already have the billies here. I didn't mind the Billie ride, until I bottomed them out.

    Your truck looks good, I like the stance.

    Cheers!

    About 100 000kms. But I had them preloaded too much. Also blew both my rears and haven't had an issue when I switched over to nitros.

    I have the 5100's set a zero 881's and 1/4 inch poly spacers that I have just installed. Took measurements before and after and wound up with 4 inches of lift. They have not settled yet and I believe my front was sagging. My truck is a 03 with 130000 miles. I was a bit worried but drove fine to me. I would definitely say on the stiffer side but not bad.

    Highest setting?

    4 inches! Holy sheit!

    I'm still debating on what shocks to order.
    My gut says 880 with Nitros but my wallet is telling me 5100s on stock coils.

    A lot of us are in the same boat. Big difference in cost. With coilovers we tend to "understand" the cost differential, partly I think because for the Tacoma they're priced about how you'd pay for them if you had say, an Accord. But the OME stuff isn't that, but still priced higher than other conventional setups. I guess they're smart in that they've found a unique middle ground.

    the Dakars from my OME kit seem to have some settling already with about 500 miles. the fronts went down a fraction and still ride real stiff. I'm thinking of taking the 3/8 spacer out from the kit and waiting until they settle more. also developed a rumble up around 65 that I thought was CV but can't be sure.
