    This isn't the place for it, but they aren't technically "for sale" yet either...

    I'll have a set of 90000 fronts up for grabs soon, probably 70k miles on em. Cheap too!
    Just can't handle the clunk noise and switching to 5100s

    Are shocks even good after 70k? I seem to destroy mine in < 30k.

    Hell if I know. Sounds like you're doing it wrong though

    I believe I pulled an amateur move and did the measuring on non-level ground, haha. When I returned back to the land of pavement I measured them to be about even. The ++ signs appear to be in the same positions on both leaf springs anyway.

    I'm running a full OME suspension kit with 886s and an ARB bumper without a winch, I dig the ride. I got about 2.5" of lift, so I'd say 886s are definitely not too much for an access cab.

    Cool. If only one of your springs had the ++ you'd want those on your drivers side.

    Has anyone here requested which springs they get when they order or is it luck of the draw? ie. Has anyone requested a 0 & +?

    My fronts DEFINITELY knock! That's why I'm going to 5100s.

    However, I wheel with several people who have full OME suspension and none of them complain about the clunk. They do drive v6 trucks, and may have other springs beside 885 like me.

    I had a clunk when I turned.. I went back to stock clunk is gone. I did find some loose hardware where the lower control arm connects to the brake rotor (2 bolts)
