    I have never seen those before but they seem like they would work similarly to an OME coil that was the same length, because it's the same spring rate I think.

    Considering the positive support for headstrong, I am surprised more people aren't using their coils.

    I've been running them for a month or so. Huge improvement over stock.

    They are specifically made to run with the 5100s which eibach coils are technically not.

    They're nice! Got the newly redesigned ones. I think they are forged.

    Do you think I could get away with these coils on 5100 (1st notch) and still use stock uca?

    You trying to get 3"?

    Sure it can be done, but having the proper arms for the lift will be beneficial.

    Also, why not just run the coils and 5100s on the lowest clip?

    Should be good to go! 2" of lift has been done on here a LOT without upgrading to aftermarket uppers.

    Same crap everyone else got
    I asked Marie about these a while ago and she said they are the equivalent to the OME 884's so basically any info you find about ride height, etc for 5100's and 884 would probably be fairly accurate about these springs also... And there's tons of info on the 5100/884 combo.

    with that being said, I went with 885 coils and have no regrets. having the height I have right now plus an aal in the rear, I'm glad I went with the 885's for the tiny bit of extra height for my dcsb 4x4.

    I have had my HS coils on for around 1000 miles. Nothing but positive things to say about them. Marie even gave me the choice of grey or black. Went with the grey for my mgm truck. Raised my truck initially up 2.75 inches but but has settled just under 2.5 inches. Not sure why freedom Offroad UCA’s are not popular here? So much bang for your buck. Also went with the Dakar medium duty leaf pack in the rear along with 5100’s. So much better than stock!

    5100's @2.5 and add a leaf. 255/80R17 Cooper ST Maxx.
    How is your alignment with the freedom offroad uca's. I'm thinking on going with these or tuff country with STD ball joints.

    I too would like to know your alignment numbers with those. Looks like a very affordable option.
