    Essentially , yes , same " stiffness "

    I believe the 884's lift around 1 3/4 - 2" , I got 2 1/2" with 885's on m DCLB 4x4

    i appreciate that man! this is what i am leaning towards. seems like its the way to go over preloading eibachs. i like my 885's now, just a bit too much lift for me.

    if ALL ELSE fails you can always order the OME pre assembled with 885's from wheelers. seems like OME shocks and 885 coils normally gives about 2.5 in lift from what i've seen/read.

    or you could try the 884 coils.. they are a little shorter then the 885

    Go 884s. I have them with billies @ 0 and got exactly 2" of lift on my 4x4 access cab, no spacers. So you should maybe expect a tiny bit more being a prerunner. Love the ride too, no need for aftermarket UCAs.

    If you're not happy with what they gave you... talk to them. They may be able to send you different stuff in exchange. They were very helpful for me when I ended up with the wrong rear shocks... even after I installed them.

    Alright guys, I've got a little predicament about my 5100's and 885's. I've searched everywhere and can't find an answer. I ordered and received yesterday my lift-5100's, eibach 885 coils, top plate spacer, and Icon UCA'S. I keep reading that the eibachs, even with the 5100's set at .85, will not give me a full 3"s of lift. I need this to continue running my 33's. do I need to buy OME 885's and sell my eibach coils? Or can I get the lift I need out of the eibachs?

    Well who feels like a fucking dumbass? THIS GUY!!!!!:wave:

    I thought I had ordered OME coils but in the box I got there was a cardboard divider that said "eibach". Without even thinking, I assumed I had ordered the eibach. I started looking at my order and I actually did order the OME. So I don't know why Toytec put that cardboard that says eibach but whatever. The sticker on the coil says "OME 885x" so everything is good. :thumbsup:
