Adding a Heavy Plate Bumper?

OME 885x coils, with 5100's at 0 and a 1/4" top plate spacer on the driver's side should level the truck without lifting the rear at all. Learned from experience. About as easy of a bolt-on as you're gonna get, and at a very reasonable budget.

 

I am running 885s and with my bumper and winch and I am about 1.5" of lift.

 

Billies or coilovers? Are they set to the lowest? That should still level the truck though, but if OP wants to bring the rear up, then a simple AAL would be a cheap easy fix and the total lift of the truck would be less than 2". Enough lift to not need new tires.

 

OME struts. Non adjustable. I have a 1.5" AAL in the rear and with my shell it sits about 3/4" higher in the rear.

 

X2 my 885s have lost about an inch after a bumper and winch. I vote for eibach coils for the OP, i believe they are shorter than 884s and have a higher spring rate. Less lift and more support for the extra weight. icons or kings would probably be the best option if he is set on stock height.

 

Do not billy 5100s with Eibachs for weight. You will regret it. Like others are saying, go full coilover. You will regret anything much less.

 

I appreciate you adding to the discussion, I didn't think I read that others were saying that full coil-overs were the only way to go without regrets.

Maybe I missed it, is anything other than a full coil-over a waste of time for my application?

 

Others will support the weight, however become stiff. My eibachs sagged after a year.

Ome or ironman will be your best bet.

However some full adjustables with appropiate weight rating is what id consider, despite the cost. Do it right the first time.

Also, after two years, from weight id assume, my billys lower bushings blew.

 

Don't listen to him. He's the guy who almost totaled his truck going through a rain puddle.

 

I'm having a hard time deciding if I can be happy with the ToyTec adjustable coil-overs with the silver Eibach springs . The used set that is local to me and is less than half the cost of a set of Icons as they sit on sale today.
I'm guessing that the ToyTecs will get me level with no more modifications needed and would work fine but I don't want to hate the ride...obviously I've never ridden in anything other than stock.

 

I was impressed with icons from the ones I've seen in person. For now run something cheap but just be prepared to upgrade soon.
