Access Cabs on 885s

I think the stance looks great man, contemplating removing an overload on my setup as well. Shitty deal about the MTB crash, had a pretty good one myself about this time last year!

 

885x coils up front with bilstein 5100 set to .85"
wheeler's 3-leaf AAL in rear
tires are 235/85r16

Below photos were taken at expo weight with the following gear: ARB bumper, Warn VR10000 winch, RTT, 2m awning, sliders, and a truck bed full of multi-week camping gear.

The lift was approximately 2"-2.5"

 

Looking for some input here. I'm looking for 2-2.5" up front, additional weight on the truck over stock includes supercharger and OEM skid. 884 or 885 with 5100's? (Access cab)

 

You might get 2.5" with 885 coils if you're lucky. Doubt you'll get anywhere close to that with 884s. We typically only recommend an 885 or 887 coil for anyone looking for lift. The 886 will step up your spring rate and you dont want that on a mostly stock truck. 885 with bilstein 5100 at .85" or spacers will get you 2.5".

 

885

Consider spacers too with that extra weight. What skid do you have? You typed OEM... Did you mean IFS?

 

Original Equipment Manufacturer... Just the stock TRD skid and yes it's IFS. Not much weight to it (aluminum).

 

Okay, so no real weight there. You'll get 2"+ from 885s without spacers. Without the S/C, you'd get nearly 2.5" without the spacers.

 

Sounds like 885 is worth a try. Trying to stay flexible with tire options and not have too much lift for a 265 tire (32") and then maybe add a spacer later on if I bump up to 285.

 

A tire that's 285 wide will still probably require a cab mount chop.
