5100's and Eibachs or 885's

trying to figure out again either to run my 5100's set at .85 and run the eibachs or to run my 5100's set at 0 and run the 885's? im seeing a ton of mixed results and just trying figure out the best solution

Here is some reading from the suspension forum.

Either way you will be okay. If you are looking for 2.5 inches, be prepared for new UCAs to get your alignment correct. If not, you will probably have a "floating" feeling while driving the truck.

 

Oh yeah, I would personally go with a spring/shock package that does not require you to preload the spring. In this case, I would go with OME springs.

 

885's and 5100s at 0.

 

i also hear some say you cant use the 5100's with the ome coils? is this even true? if so why cant you?

 

You can use them, a lot of guys here do. They are just designed for use with their own brand of shocks but 5100s are fine.

 

Lot's of people do. I have them inside OME 884s and mine rides great.
You're not supposed to use them with the OMe 886s though.

 

I have the 5100's set at 0 and the 885's. Smooth ride and gives a 3" lift. 2"AAL in the rear leveled it perfect. I wheel my truck pretty hard and it for sure makes for a great ride with this set up.

 

looks good, what UCA are you using?

 

Would 5100's set at 0 and 885's with a set of Dakars be level? I do have a Snugtop Rebel on the back.

 

I have 885's and Dakars with a Leer 100RCC commercial cap and I have about 1" - 1 1/2" of rake

 

Thanks.
Would you happen to have any pics?

i have the 5100s with eibachs. Kinda stiff but it keeps it leveled on cornering compared to trd oem.

 

Light racing

 

I am. I have the 5100's set at 0 and OME 883x and it rides great !! I went the 883's because I just wanted to level it with out doing nothing to the rear. For my truck it took the 883's.

 

Looks good..

 

Thanks ! I really like it.

 

I have 5100s with 885s. I wish I would have got the ome shocks as we'll but otherwise it works pretty good. Got pretty close to 3in of lift too

 

do you run into any major changes with the cv's? like diff drop or anything? any vibrations with d cab?
