Great White Taco build

Added these guys tonight. Wow! Night and day difference! And I'm using my factory fog light button. It was a plug and play installation. They are rated at 1532 lumens each.
Used this adapter to go from H10 to Deutsch

 

Wanted to make a note.. If you have the RCI front skid, you will have to cut the lip off like this, to fit the Pelfreybilt front bumper.

 

Where did you add those?

 

Looks bad ass! I am thinking about going this directions rather than a full plate bumper. Any reason you chose the hybrid over the full plate?

 

I loved the look of these. I feel like they do the same job as a full plate bumper, and save a bit of weight.

 

I see you have ome 885 coils, I have the same on the way, did you lose any lift after installing the bumper?

 

I didnt do before and after measurements, but @DCSBFTMFW says its supposed to look this way.. I think it looks higher in the rear

 

Yea, I think dakars give a little rake to start with.

 

Meaning you have insufficient coils for the way your truck is setup if you wanted to be level front and rear.

It's not supposed to look that way, or maybe it is. I think you think it should be level with 885s and I think the result with the 885s is what anyone should expect with a plate bumper up front.

I would try 886s or I'd get some top plate spacers of you want to add height up front with that load. Or roll the dice on some 887s, which are taller than your 885s but have the same coil rate, where the 886 is the same as your 885, just stiffer.

 

It does look a little ass high, but thats good. You can haul more weight that way, before your leafs are stressed

 

886's are 10mm higher and higher spring rate I believe. Or maybe the 10mm is between 884's and 885's. I used to know it but can't remember for sure off the top of my head.

what do you think about the 887s? I need to do more research. Originally I was thinking of 886s. I thought the 886s were if you had the extra weight in the front

 

They are.

IIRC OEM coils are 530 lbs. OME is 590 lbs. OME 886 is 660 lbs. Eibach is 620 lbs.

 

Greased 4/5 zerks on my driveline today. I think for the last one, I need to take a shield off to access. It wasn't a difficult task, I just needed to roll around on the ground

 

Just move it around until you can slip the fitting over it. It can be done without taking anything apart. I'll be honest with you, most people fail to do it. Mine hadn't been greased for who knows how long whenever i got the truck

 

Copied from HeadStrong's website:

Coil Specifications:
OME 883X: 375mm in height 590 pound spring rate
Approximate lift height on 4wd double cab: "1"
OME 884X: 390mm in height 590 pound spring rate
Approximate lift height on 4wd double cab: 2"
OME 885X: 395mm in height 590 pound spring rate
Approximate lift height on 4wd double cab: 2.5"
OME 886X: 402mm in height 660 pound spring rate
Approximate lift height on 4wd double cab with 200+lbs of additional up front weight : 2.5"
OME 887X: 400mm in height 590 pound spring rate
Approximate lift height on 4wd double cab: 3"

 

These will be going on in the fall, along with Cooper ST Maxx (that I haven't ordered yet)

 

Very nice!!!

Not wired up yet. I need a wiring diagram meant for a 3 year old, because I am more than incapable of wiring this to my blue sea fuse block haha
