    lol no they aren't. 883s provide the most lift for springs that fit on our trucks.

    They are actually a 590lb spring. And give about 2.5'' of lift or so. I have a friend with them on his truck..

    hmm..I think 883's are a bit overkill, considering I am going to run a tube bumper..and 99% sure I am not going to get a winch now.

    And I figured the Eibach's would make the truck too tall in the front.

    Good reads...still makes it hard to decide between 881 and 880 coils.

    But right now I am running bilstein front shocks (non-5100) with stock coils and a spacer, and that coupled with the 3'' Body lift (PO installed the lift) and worn leafs ANYTHING will ride better than how its setup now..:rolleyes:

    So far I know for the rear I am probably going to run a Wheelers 5 pack and OME nitrochargers...so thats that.

    I just emailed wheelers to see what they think.

    Thanks for all the help guys.

    If you gonning to run a tube bumper and winch, you should get the 882s or 883s man. while yes a tube bumper isnt anything like a plate bumper in terms of weight, still weighs more then the stock and a winch is adding a lot of weight.

    45acp has 883s and a tube bumper and winch. He is also just running an AAL and he is barely nose high.

    883s are designed to help take the extra weight as they are a thicker coil but the same length as 881s.

    Also i know MTgirl has 881s and the wheelers 5pk if you'd like a reference of a bumper less truck with that setup.

    You know he has a 4-banger and not a 6, right?

    Lisa and I have the same spring setup, except I have the cap on back. That was from my group buy.

    I said no winch, just bumper. So 882's or 883's would be over kill, esp w/ the 4 banger.

    Yeah, I just found the OME gallery thread in the 1st gen section and there were a shit load of 4 cylinders running 881's and they looked nice and level, and all of them were happy with the ride. I want a nice firm ride anyways.

    So 881's it is :cool:

    just need to save up... :devil:

    No prob. I know I puzzled over this stuff forever before I pulled the trigger, and with the cost, you want to get it right. :thumbsup:
