    Is your truck a 4x4 or a PreRunner?

    or
    get an RCD lift.

    I have the 884's and the ride is smooth; stiffer than stock but not too bad.

    Um...if they can't be fixed for a fairly cheap price then I'm going to have to pass.

    A shock will cost somewhere in the range of 120-150 to rebuild. The worth has never been there for me anyways... I know of a Toytec ULK with 30k on it that I can get a hold of for 400. Don't know if that is of any interest or what your OME would be worth had you sell it.

    Well I'm not 100% sure that they are blown. I bought them used and for the first couple drives they were awesome, then they got squeaky and started getting really loud and sound like they over extend on the down travel. I check for oil leaking when ever I get out of the truck but they were always clean no oil drips anywhere. I really don't understand what's going on and there's no places here that can help, there isn't even any places in the STATE that rebuilds shocks.

    You've already got the OME shocks, that's the expensive part. OME 884 springs are only 150 bucks.

    It sounds like you know what you need to do - order the 884 springs and spend a saturday swapping out from one to the other.

    Then I bet you can sell the 885 springs for between 75 and 100 bucks on TW.

    op still think your best bet is to try a different spring first. then go different shocks.

    X2. Try the 884 before changing everything.

    i have sagged 885's with 5100's set at .85 and it rides good and im sittin a little over 3"

    i say, give your lift a little time to settle before you spend anymore money. remember, just about any lift you go with is gonna stiffin up the ride. even expensive coilovers like Icon or Kings are gonna have a rough ride when cranked down to give 3" of lift.

    what tacomanator said is true. its just a thing to deal with when you lift your truck. i have my icons set to give 3" of lift. i love the way it drives. its a little rough, but hey its a truck. if i want a smooth ride ill jump in my brothers civic

    Throw on a bumper. The extra weight will soften it out nicely. I've got the OMEs with my bumper and love them.
