    hmmm. it seems its almost identical... it drops the front bracket which lowers the front, but where the actual axles are just turn, they dont drop

    the only reason why i say that is because i have experienced it myself, this being with the bilsteins set at the lowest setting (stock) the OME coils gave me more lift in the front than eibach. I'm assuming you could set your perch (assuming you had bilstein 5100) to the middle with the eibach and probably get around the same lift but then again you're compromising ride quality the higher you set that perch. Either coil is a damn good product just depends on the person and/or application

    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.

    You must of got the wrong Eibachs because you can't set the Eibachs to another spot other then 0 on the 5100's and my Eibachs gave me 3 1/2" of lift and if your getting any more then that with OME your going to rip you CV boots apart. And from what Ive read the OME coils don't even give a full 3" lift with out the top plate spacer.

    I'm not sure exactly what eibachs they were, what i am saying is that i had bilstein shocks with both eibach and OME (set at 0) and the ride IMO was better with OME and i didnt get as much lift with the eibachs.

    :notsure: crazy you must not of had the Toytec coils then because they give 3+ inches of lift. What OME coils do you have now.

    The Gen 1 trucks are mounted completely differently. It does help on the pre-05 rigs.

    I see the Eibachs that everyone talks about here are Toytec and they give more lift then the 881's but the 881's are a lot softer so the ride will be better.

    i dont mind it being stiff, it probably saved some random parts when i accidentally hit a deep rut on the road kinda fast and bottomed out my suspension.. if i had any softer spring i woulda had some damage plus they look sexy with them 5100s

    e-coils= highest lift coil also stiff
    ome with ome shock= not a full 3 inchs without top plate.
    ome coil on 5100= with 881 and 5100 you can get 3 inches of lift best option if the full 3 inches is important.
    ome full setup=best out of the pile if the full 3 inches isnt important
    5100 on stock coils=2.5 inch lift still good ride quality, good lift on the cheap..

    Any thing else?
