    Hey guys, need some advice.
    Any real difference in the 885's and 887's besides the top plate spacer?
    Also, for mainly daily driver, would the 90000 be better than the 90021?
    I am also planning on adding a front steel bumper of around 100-115lbs…Do I need the 886's instead?
    Thanks
    I was also considering the Bilstein 5100's….if anyone thinks better than OME shocks

    if its 115 lbs don't get the 886 I had that on my 2014 dblcb and it was 3.5 inch and my cv looked all jacked up. I switched them out to 885 much better, they settled to 2.5inch now before it was 2.75. I got the 90000 strut they are stiff, if you want a softer ride 21 is the way to go. and also I have a 3mm trim packer on the driver side for taco lean. and don't have top spacer.

    887 has a 405mm I think which will get it to 3inch lift and 885 will give it 2.75 or 2.5

    Is it still recommended for the spacer for the taco lean on the 887's?

    Are you going to stop at a front bumper? If not, and you're planning to one day add a winch, sliders, skids etc, go 886's now and just do it once :thumbsup:

    ok so with sliders and front bumper are 886's a good idea. I'v read 886 require the 90000 and people say they are very stiff

    some people have different taste on TW for me if Im gonna get OME coils ill stick with OME struts etc. I just don't like mix matching. if I went with bilsteins I would of gone eibach coils, im guessin that they are together. but front with the trim packer on driver side I have 22.5 on both sides from hub to fender, I have icon 3 leaf aal with my overload and it sits 24 on both.



    shit let me rephrase that lol the front I meant. the rear aal for now at least until they wear out then will go with Dakar leafs

    I already have an AAL, so I'm looking at 887's w/ trim packer, and 90021's and UCA just for added measure
