    My CV angles look like yours. But I just put my diff drop on so no grease is comming out, and hopefully it never does. So whats your next step if you loose to much grease? Just curious..

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    From what I've read its pushing it out because they are full and when you move them up to an angle sometimes it will push some out because there is less room for the grease. So I don't plan on doing anything unless something breaks.

    This is EXACTLY what ive been wondering too, OME 881 coils or Eibach for a better ride quality?? Cause right now my ride kinda sucks with the stock coils compressed on 5100s. I can feel every bump on the highway and theres alot haha. Off road the ride is pretty good but hitting a manhole cover in a turn will shake the entire truck.

    arent eibach coils 3" lift springs. I heard that you start running into problems once you lift 3 inches? any truth to this.

    I have OME coils with billy's HD shocks and they ride good. My brother has Eibach coils for his 4 runner and they rode so stiff. Once you ride on them for a wile they will settle in and get softer. I recommend taking off your sway bar or getting sway bar quick-disconnects. Me and my brother are running no sway bars rite now and the ride is way nicer.

    ^Agreed
    I actually just removed my Eibachs for OMEs and I'll never go back. It dropped the truck down a bit but my CV angles look much better and the ride is significantly improved. It seem that when I had on the Eibachs (matched with 5100s) that they rode extremely stiff with almost no down travel. The OMEs soak up bumps much better. IMO, it's not worth getting a full 3" of lift. You don't really gain anything but a little extra sexiness :)

    i would go with eibachs, they have been in the spring business for a long time. Maybe you can try a progressive springrate? What rides nice on the road will not perform that well offroad and vice versa so you have to pick and choose what you want. You need stiffer springs to take hard hits if you are going at speed offroad.

    It will have a little more but your stiffer springs will help with the "roll".

    Yes, it allows a softer ride and it is very noticeable. It also allows more articulation off-road. If you really wanted it on for on road driving and off for off-road driving you could make or buy sway bar quick disconnects.
