OME 888 Sag??

5100’s 1.5” up front 4th setting 1.5” rear AAL. Factory rake cause it’s a truck. No sag stock coils. Ride is great IMO. Was on the fence with getting those OME COILS. Glad I didn’t. Subtle lift is what I wanted. Just my 2cents

 

I have 295/70/17s with OME 888s. I also have small spacers on top the shocks so I sit 38.5" from ground to fender but myset up is different than yours so to be expected

 

I’m at 22” front center cap to fender on 33” tires. Seems extremely low...

 

I agree. With the 888’s you should be closer to 23.5-24”. This is what ultimately persuaded me to go with the Eibach kit. No sag. I kept reading one report after another about the OEM coils not being able to handle the front end weight of the 3rd Gens.

 

Are you on a full eibach kit or just eibach springs on billstein 5100s?

 

Call headstrong and ask Marie, doesn't she sell this, and advises everyone to use 888. She should know the measurements.

 

Installed my 5100s & OME 888 & Icon AAL in April of 2019.. still no sagging whatsoever.. it’s held up pretty good so far

 

Full Eibach kit.

 

I thought I heard Head Strong doesn't recommend 886s with the 5100s? I could be wrong though. The 886s do have a higher spring rate.

 

My friend has gone through 2 sets of 888s

 

You shouldn’t be over 23” without long travel.

 

What notch do you set the 5100s on with stock coils?

 

Forums are weird. All new springs sag, no matter what the application is. You’ll never avoid it.

 

I run 4th setting on DCLB ride is great IMO.

 

Do you have 5100s in front and rear or just front with the aal in the rear?

 

Front and rear and aal

 

Nice I think this is the route I’d like to go. Prob a dumb question but what’s the benefit of going 5100 in rear too as opposed to only in the front?

 

Pardon me if you’ll already answered, but what’s the lift on the front end with that set up? I’ve heard the stock spring is too short for much of a lift, but I have no real knowledge.

 

Not at all to short. 5100’s are designed to work with stock coils on our trucks. I’m using stock coils with 5100’s on 4th setting. No sag ride is great. I learned a lot on here from members. Went with this set up based on needs. Light trails camping work etc. There are a lot of great set ups out there. As for 5100’s great lift IMO.

 

Been on 5100s with stock coils and the ride is better than the stock ride. Also my measurements are the same, as I have checked it when's it's parked in the same spot in the garage. The factory coils have a higher spring rate then some of the ome springs. Bilsteins are designed for use with the factory coils.
