    Anyone has some recommendations for part numbers if someone wanted roughly the equivalent ride height and quality a FOX 2.5 IFP using 14" 650 lb/in King coils gives if you go with Old Man Emu shocks and springs.

    Fender lip to hub center on the example truck measures about 23" with pretty basic mods, an ARB bumper, winch with synthetic rope, IFS skid. So not super heavy and lift would be about about 2" to 2.5" at most. The King coils are compressed to about 10.5" at load, which would suggest 2,275 lbs per front corner.

    I know the two options they give are 2885 and 2886 coils. The 2885 are 590 lb/in and 2886 660 lb/in. OME gives lengths for the two springs 15.55" and 15.83" but that's not really one-to-one since shocks are designed for longer springs.

    Basically would like some first hand comparison that the 2886 is or isn't the right choice here not to end up with too much or too little ride height, at least within 1/2" or so. Doesn't have to be exact, just close enough. Dialing in ride height using Bilstein 5100 might be an option but would prefer OME if possible.

    Thanks for any insight.
