A year with OME

I just did that same setup (set at zero w/a 1/4" spacer on drivers side) on my 4cyl 4x4 AC and got an even 1.5" of lift.

 

these are the only pics I have at the moment. 883 and 5100's all around. i dont have any side shots to show the wheels flush with the fenders but thats how they sit with the 1" spacers. I got a little over an inch up front after the springs settled and the ride was great.

 

Glad to see others are running 883s with good luck. It's a strong choice for a great riding lift without driveline issues/vibrations and good alignment with stock UCAs. Plus it rides smooth enough for daily driving and plenty of stability for off-roading.

I'd imagine it rides much better than 5100 with compressing the stock springs to .85 or more, especially with the progressive TRD OR springs. Pre-loading usually causes the initial suspension movement to be harsh, followed by a diving sensation. Preloading via 5100s or spacers only changes the initial spring rate, not the overall spring rate.
