    Now your really confusing me lol. You got a 3 inch lift with a good ride? I have no weight in the front at all and right now just running 265 70 17 tires. Not much weight on her at all.

    Just saw this. Do not go with 886s they will be very stiff with no weight and you’ll be unhappy. 885x and 887x are the same spring rate at 590 but the 887 is longer and will give you more height. You can get a 3in lift with the 887s and have a comfortable ride but you need UCAs for a better alignment. Also anytime you run an OME coil (884, 885, 887, etc..) you want to set the 5100s at the first notch or you’ll preload the coil too much.

    If I were you I would do the following:

    Front: 5100 with 887x coils, choice of UCA

    Rear: Progessive 3 leaf AAL with 5100

    This will give you the height you want and a better ride than spacers.

    Don’t listen to him 888 coils are for 3rd gens and shouldn’t be used on a 2nd gen.

    I’m sorry. I missed the 2nd gen part. 887s are correct and if you really want to be sure. Just call @HeadStrong Off-Road. They were very knowledgeable and super helpful when I ordered my stuff.
