    Hey guys,

    I have been doing tons of research, calling around, and contemplating lately, but I cant come to a conclusion. I have an 05 Access cab TRD Off Road 4x4 and and just installed 5100s. I am ready to get some new coils but I cannot decide which ones to get. I am between the OME 885s or the EIbach/Toytec 620s. I have a brush guard up front which is probably about 50pounds. I am leaning towards the Eibachs just because they are designed to be used with the 5100s but I hear good things about the OMEs. Can someone just tell me what to do?! I am so on the fence it is driving me crazy. I just want to order them and throw them on ASAP. Also, will the 1/4 inch toytec spacer on the drivers side make me higher on the drivers side than the pass? I am 1/4 inch or more lower on the drivers right now. I just want that lean to be gone! Finally, are sway bar relocators really necessary?

    Thanks!

    I hear the toytech/eibach springs are really rough if you don't have a heavy plate bumper. I would go with OME springs.

    620s here, ride smoother than stock imo.

    Driver lean spacer is INTENDED to level out the truck when using non oem coils because oem OEM, NOT OME...OEM, coils are side specific to help hold the extra weight on the drivers side. Going to an aftermarket coil, this isnt taken into account, so the lean spacer should LEVEL your truck out...NOT make the driver side taller than passenger.

    Between the 2 coil brands.....
    I have eibachs as i said, and ive ridden in an OME setup (ome coils and shocks) and i thought both rode similar. The ome setup was on a 4x4 double cab 2nd gen.
    My eibachs are on access cab prerunner, and 5100s

    As for swaybar relocates, i didnt need them.... and eventually took it off anyhow and it rides even smoother.

    how much lift did you get with the eibachs/5100s? The 4x4 access cab shouldnt be too much differet.

    Eh.

    5100s are supposedly valved for Eibach coils.

    I haven't noticed a difference in ride between the two with comparable coils and settings.
