    I have just bought 5100s and OME 2881s and they are waiting to be installed on my 03 2.7L std cab with ARB Bumper.
    But I have read a lot on this site and am having doubts whether the 2881s will match my current lift height.
    My current shocks are shot and needs to be replaced: AllPro Coil-overs that give me 2.5”+ lift.
    My measurement from the ground to the bottom of my front wheel wells is 38”.

    Just wondering what Eibachs will give me without spacers and no preloading compared to what I got?
    I'm going to Belize Monday and still have time to order the Eibachs before I go and leave my truck at my buddy's shop.

    The Toytec/Eibachs will give 3", maybe slightly more for a single cab

    Didn't notice the ARB, make it an even 3", could still be a tad over 3" until settling some

    I think I will stay with the OMEs and just 1/4" or 1/2" spacers between the top mount and the coil overs.
    Save having to return the OMEs.
    Thanks

    More than 3" will be way too much for my toy.
    Whats the max that you can go with top spacers (above the top plate) with Bilstein 5100s before the shock will bottom out before hitting the bumper on the control arm?

    After doing the 5100/881 on mine with the 10mm enhancer I believe you will get at least 3"

    you need 883 OME coils then. Be a nice 2.5-2.75'' with the bumper.
