    I currently have 1.5” coil spacers and I want to buy 5100’s completely assembled w/ new coils. I want to maintain the lift and make the ride as soft as possible It’s a daily driver, no winch or heavy bumpers.Could someone please tell me exactly what I need to order. I’m having a hard time navigating their website not understanding the coil numbers and stuff. Considering I would need to rent a compressor and buy new top hat bushings and crap it makes more sense to have them do it. Thanks

    I wanted a lift so I went with ome 881s over Bilstein 5100s set to 0. The ride has been almost perfect on my 3.4 xtracab. If you're lighter up front and you dont want a lift, you might consider just going with ome 880s over Bilstein 5100s set to 0.

    this.

    Not too sure about the spacer so I'm just going to suggest you call @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc and and ask for Josh. When I was looking at ordering a full OME kit, he was more than patient with numerous questions I had. Always helpful and always willing to answer, they make sure you are getting what you want and nothing 'more' than what you need. At least that has been my experience :thumbsup:

    Give them a call, let him know you're on TW. At the very least, you'll walk away with a little more knowledge.

    I second this, just call wheeler's. Tell them what you want out of the lift and they will give you suggestions.
