    Prerunner, so no 4x4 weight up front. This is OME 881 paired to 5100 set @ zero. Deaver J59 8 leaf pack in the rear, also with 5100. 265/75/16 tires. I have no complaints.

    No drop, it’s only like a 2” lift and yes it’s 4x4

    I haven’t a clue, leaf lift of some type/brand but no block, I removed a 7/8 overload to drop it to where it’s at.

    Which bumper? The front has remained unchanged for a while except for a grill and headlight refresh. That bull bar is under 40 pounds, maybe closer to 30.

    For the back, I did the J59 leaf packs in late January this year. The wrap around number was after.

    Gains are unknown to be honest. I’m slightly over spring in the rear but I like the ride feel. And there is practically zero sagging when loaded with tools and work stuff.

    I mean ... you're buying OME springs, why not the shocks :notsure: that's different.

    Eibach makes a lift spring that works with OME nitros or 5100s. I think Fox coilovers use Eibach lift spring as well

    Bilstein 5100’s with ome 881 coils on lowest setting, JBA upper control arms, LCE header, 31x10.5x15 falken wildpeaks.
    Right now I have 5100 with 880 coils set at 0. I want like 3/4” ish more lift in front. I do have taco lean so my drivers side is a bit shorter than passenger. To achieve that 3/4” more should I get 881’s and add 3/8” spacer on passenger side and 1/2” spacer on drivers side or 880 coils with the same spacer set up? Any help/experience would be greatly appreciated.

    How did the 5100/881 setup turnout for you? Do you still like it? Did the ride get harsher as time went on?
