    Yes I would want to run OME 885 with 4600 struts. I have less than 3k miles and would like to make use of this while adding height to the front without going 5100s for now.

    I wouldn't, I believe the 5100's are an "extended length" shock, that is why the longer springs from OME work well with them. You could also go with OME Nitrochargers as well. Otherwise I suspect you would "top out" with the 4600's. I'm sure other members will have more details, I'm looking now to see the extended length difference between the two.

    Thanks. Let me know I don’t want to go under the hood twice. Lol. I can’t seem to find any answers. Asked headstrong but they indicated they havent test fitted them with stocks before.

    yea, I can't find anything on the extended length of 4600 series shocks. However my bet is the 5100 series are longer. you'll like the ride after, set em at 0.65 with stock springs and you will be level.

    5100s are longer than the 4600s. 5100s are actually just a little longer than the OME shocks as well. Putting a lift spring on a 4600 would result in over extension. You'd reach full droop over speed bumps and road imperfections. My understanding is thats the only real difference between the 5100s adn 4600s.
