    hey all, I’ve got an SR 4x4 double cab and I’m about to invest in a lift. I’ve decided on Bilstein 5100 and Old Man Emu springs but cannot decide on what spring variants(888,887,886,etc). I’ve heard of the 888 sagging and really don’t want to deal with that. Any opinions or information would be greatly appreciated.

    I have the 888's so far no sagging after a little over month but i'm keeping an eye on it. Otherwise you'd want to go with 887, unless you plan on adding some weight up front then i believe the 886 is your choice.

    I'm happy with my 888 coils and 5100's I installed about 18 months ago and if there is any sag I haven't noticed. I don't have any additional weight up front.

    Awesome that’s great news! Did you order your parts from headstrong off-road?

    Glad to hear it! Thanks for the info... I don’t plan to add any weight upfront, just looking for a nice lift and ride

    I went 5100's and OME 887's. After 3 months I still have a 2.25" lift up front.
