    Will be installing 5100's on all 4 corners and OME 844 on the front. No spacers. What setting would you recommend for leveling the truck? 0 or .85 ?

    I have 22 in. From wheel center to to fender well in the rear and 19 in. In the front.
    I will also install L/R UCA's from Fat Bob's.:D

    My truck is a 2006 Tacoma Access Cab, 4x4 Mostly street driven except during hunting season or while at the Beach.:cool:

    Thanks in advance, looking forward to your responses.

    I'd install them at 0 for around, or just over, 2" of lift.

    I assume you mean 884 springs. I would definitely start at 0 if you're not putting anything in the rear. You'll probably end up nose high if you do anything other setting. I don't think you're supposed to pre-load if you're using OME springs anyway. If you need more lift, you should add a top plate spacer.

    Thanks. I was leaning toward 0 myself.

    May not need the UCA's then ?

    Depends on who you listen to. Some say 2.0 in., some say you have to set it on .85 ??

    I will start at 0 and go from there. It just means extra work +extra cash to relocate the springs.
