    Such an original question I know.

    I'm looking to get bilsteins on all 4 corners and was wondering if running stock coils at 1.75 or running ome 885's and running the steins at 0 would be more perferable. I'm trying to keep it simple without adding any leafs or anything in the back.

    Opinions?

    I would think running the ome springs would be better than adding pre-load to your stock coils

    I agree. A longer/taller coil should give a better ride than adjusting the strut up with the stock coil. We do the same, where we keep the coil seat low (OE position), then make longer coils to give a better ride plus lift.

    That's what I was thinking but I was curious if the easier and cheaper route would be effective as well. I've been working with headstrong off-road and I was debating on getting just the 5100s or do the bundle with the ome 885s. I'm just looking for a little more height the in front for a level look. Hopefully I can avoid ucas and rear leafs with the only slight adjustment.
