OME 887 with Bilstein 5100

I never changed mine and have plenty of play.

 

Curious if anyone has needed to get sway bar relocation brackets after going up about 2.25” inches with the 5100/887 combo on 3rd Gen????
I’d like to keep my sway bar after I lift in the future.

 

You should be fine without

 

Thanks for the help!

 

You won't know for sure until you get your lift installed. Mine did. Fortunately they're easy to install after the fact.

 

I have 5100/887 combo that I am installing, hopefully Sunday. I have a 3/8" driver side spacer that don't think is going to fit if I use the 3 top, of the strut assembly, 3/8" thick washers. Anyone know any reason I can't use some high grade thinner washers up there?

 

ANYBODY WHO HAS A 887 COIL FOR SALE?

 

Oh never mind my question. I see the nuts are one piece, no washer. Overthinking things as usual...

 

anyone use the icon progressive aal? Do you have to take the overload out?
What other aal's are recommended?

 

Add another 887/5100 fan! Wheelers 1.5 progressive add a leaf and a 3/8th driverside spacer, Borderlineleven!

 

Doin it too but in between wheelers and the icon progressive.
Looking at it can you fit 32.6" tires?

 

How many inches are you guys averaging with the 887’s? I want a 2-2.5 inch lift, would it be better to go with 885’s or 887’s?

 

I just finished putting mine on today, got it aligned, drove it a few mile and was about 2 1/4" on passenger side and 2 3/4" on driver side. I added a 3/8" spacer on the driver side. I don't know if 32.6 tires would fit? I am 98 percent sure I as going with 265/70's. I just like the look of that size tire with this setup.

 

17's?

 

I am going to stay with the 17's.

 

Ya. You think you have roughly 1/2" pm both sides?

 

I am not sure, PM?

They have a chart that shows typical lifts based on vehicle type and spring choice.

For 4x4 double cab, the 885 ~ 1.75" and the 887 ~ 2.25" (just what CaptainBart45 said he got).
For 2WD double cab, the 885 ~ 2.25" and the 887 ~ 2.75"

Access cab lift heights are also reported on the chart. The different weights of the truck styles make a difference on the lift that you will achieve with each spring type. A long bed truck will add a little more weight and could reduce lift by as much as 0.25". I have found that when reading through TW, you have to look at the posters truck type in order to properly compare the lift heights that they are reporting.

 

As mentioned the OME Coils are not side specific. If you order the OME coils pre assembled, however, with OME shocks or 5100's, the coil assembly's do in fact become side specific. Different reasons, OME shock may be set to account for extra driver side weight. The 5100s, must be aligned in the coilover for installation. The lower mount one 5100's can not be twisted to align the lower shock mount bolt. I was wondering why my coilover assemblies were marked "driver" and "passenger!"

 

It can not be twisted? Just had mine put together and they said just twist it...
Also.
Anyone have a warped 887 coil? Had the shop take them apart and check the washer underneath the top mount. It was fine.
