biltein 5100 shocks only, what springs and where to buy

I bought bilstein 5100's front and rear, i wanted to do the OME 887's and Toytec AAL in the rear. Where should I buy springs at? I was looking at the vendor list but am not very confident in choosing one.

I have a steel front bumper and do plan on adding a winch. Is there a better spring with better ride quality than the OME 887? ALso Should I get different UCA's?

 

Headstrong. Fast shipping and Marie is great to work with. @HeadStrong Off-Road

 

Should of checked with Marie at @HeadStrong Off-Road from the beginning. She most likely would of offered you a nice package price while even assembling the front struts for you. Pay attention to weight to as 886's are meant for armor up front.

 

Make sure you buy the right springs gor your application. 887's are for stock weight if I recall correctly. Any vendor can steer you in the right direction.

 

Another Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road vote

IMHO pick a spring that will do what you want and don't use the higher perches on the shocks. Preload isnt the best plan, especially since you are doing springs anyway.

 

so with a steel bumper, and 5100’s if I use the lowest perch I was under the impression I would get about 2.5 inches of lift. I’ve read post after post after post on tacoma world. I talked with an off-road shop and they seemed to push the 885 OME and they said the 887 wouldn’t “fit” but after talking a while they said “let me know how it feels” lol so today I bought the OME 887.

 

Hmmmm I was under the impression 887’s with a bumper/winch would make it sag a little and that 886s were for heavier front ends. Who’s knows anymore.

 

Oh gosh I don’t know lol if I got it backwards I’m going to be pretty annoyed

 

I will reach out to them, last thing I want to do is waste time and money

 

im in a 3rd gen so maybe I’m wrong.

 

OEM spring chart.

 

What is the source of this chart?

 

If I remember correctly I pulled it off of www.headstrongoffroad.com website. They do currently have a link to ARB's product page. I will see if I can find the source but it may not exist anymore.

 

after viewing the chart im concerned i bought the wrong everything lol. so if i ha ve a winch and bumper i really dont know what spring to get in order to get atleast 2.5 icnhes. I already ordered the 887 but im beginning to think that the 886 would have been a better choice.

 

Make a call to headstrong.

 

Thank you so much for the recommendations @EiskafeTaco , @Unchained 5150 , and @Clearwater Bill we truly appreciate it.

 

At the end of the day I am extremely happy with the ride quality and ride height. Pic shown is a before and after
