    Anyone have an idea how much an OME 884 coil will sag after a few months installed on 5100's set at first notch? Headstrong website says 1" of lift at this setting. I don't want a big lift. I have an ARE topper and carry a few mtn bikes. With the extra weight right now, truck sits almost level (1/4" higher in rear). I will be adding sumo springs to stock rear suspension and expect to get a modest 5/8" boost in the rear. I tow a camper which is why I am adding sumo's.

    Ok, one more 6112 question......I havent picked mine up yet ( but they are ordered...)...some instructions I have seen online suggest staggered settings........driver side position 2 passenger side position 1. etc etc,..to compensate for any lean.....is this the case for everyone here?......or are most people using 2 and 2 or 4 and 4 position etc..

    That's a great right up indeed and I did see where he mentioned the stagger but forgive this newb but what's the reasoning behind it.....more weight on one side due to tank etc..?..been searching but so many suspension posts at this point it's easier to ask..lol

    I agree. When you search the results can be overwhelming. The reason for the stagger is to corrrect taco lean caused by the weight of the gas tank, battery and driver all on one side.
