Northern Virginia Roll Call

Yeah basically from what i understand. The 886 are 402mm and 888 are 405mm so not much different in height but the 70lbs extra in spring rate is the variable. I have 885 with top spacer and they are nice. I will probably upgrade to 886 after i add bumper/winch/sliders plus more skids. But i dont mind the stiffer ride as long as it keeps me closer to 3in lift. The 888 would probably be a softer ride though. others will chime in and spread the knowledge. You could always start out with the stiffer 886 and if you dont like it sell or trade and go with 888. OME Coils arent to expensive.

 

And yes I would say run at 0 settting let the coils do the lift.

 

sounds about right.... thanks for the insight!

 

No worries man how soon is that bumper coming in? I wanna check it out. I wish SOS made one for mine but I saw southern style Offroad has one that is nice and low pro but pricy for half bumper.

 

it should be coming in the first week of April! I'll be in Hawaii for my sister's wedding until the 10th, but after that, my schedule is wide open


also, last suspension setup question:

Bilstein 5100s set at 0
OME 886 springs or OME 888 springs
drivers side 1/2" spacer (to make up for Taco lean)
passenger side 1/4" spacer

Do you this would give me around 2.5" of lift at the end of the day?

 

I beg to differ...

Pro grille looks great on black!

 

in my opinion (which doesnt really matter) the Pro grill gets lost in all the black.... there are many more options on the market that can make the grill stand out a lot more.

I do like that you painted the lettering though.... definitely pops

 

Thanks. I wanted it to get lost in the black. Whole dam grille is too big!

 

truth!

 

Nice man that will be awesome.

I think that will give you what you want.

@DOUBLLD what do you think?

 

Honestly man, you just nailed it why I like the black grill on yours. It does minimize the shape of the grill!

You people and black wheels and black grills "getting lost" on the truck.... lol

 

meaning it hides the design of the grill and wheels.....

for example:



all of that black hides the design of his wheel... he might as well have $25 black steel wheels from a junk yard in my opinion as opposed to spending $100-$200 per wheel for those.

 

I do agree going full "murder" on a ride can kill some of the design behind it, but the 3rd gen has too big of a grill for my liking. By blacking it out on a black one appeals to me more aesthetically because in this case it dumbs down some of the design as you would say. Looks like we are fully stocked on in this thread today!

that sounds right to me.

 

You should tell him that kings are adjustable and as he adds more weight all hes gotta do is crank the coils up a bit

 

this is very true lol.

 

I no haz $$$ for King.... hell.... I dont even know if I have Bilstein or even Rough Country kind of money. lol

 

Then wait! As someone who is on their 3rd suspension, just do it right the first time. It will save time and money down the road.
Right being- how you actually want it in the end

 

truest statement made.
