    Those coils were made for more weight up front than that. If you have spacers on take them off.

    OME 3" lift with 885 coils. OME Shocks with TSB 1.5 AAL. 285/75/16 KM2s. XD Hoss 16" wheels. DDM Tuning 6000K HIDs, H10 6000K Fogs. BHLM. Debaged. 20% tint on front windows.
    You're not supposed to run the top plate spacer with the 886s home slice.

    Made in Malaysia? Yikes! Are people having sag issues with these OME springs too (like the sag issues with OME's previous generation front coil springs)? The Eibachs included with Toytec's ULK are either made in the USA and/or Germany - Eibach's website says that their "springmeisters" work in US and Germany plants.

    The new OME coils ( the "x" models ) are not supposed to sag , mine haven't moved at all in almost a year

    If you are referring to the Dakars , mine have sagged 1/2" with a commercial cap on full time .

    Hey Oz, did you install the AAL yet?

    I'm kinda curious if there is a specific placement it within the pack and does it have any effect on the staged over load springs, or does it just act as a 5/8" spacer?:notsure:

    I haven't received it yet .

    I believe it goes between the third and forth leafs down from the top . It is a full leaf , longer than the one above it , shorter than the one below it.

    Thanks, you got me thinking:D. I run the cap only in the winter, but I still have a couple hundred lbs. of recovery equip. and tools out back. I haven't noticed any sag yet, but I haven't checked measurements since I wrote them down over a year ago after the lift was installed. The only time I reallly test them is when I load up with firewood!

    How are the 275s holding up? Any noticable mileage change compared the the 265s or 285s?
