OME vs. Eibach Springs? Thoughts Please

If you don't mind a thread Jack, I am getting an allpro front bumper and sliders. I currently have rear tsb and 5100s set at 2.5 with factory springs. Can anyone recommend a setup that will keep me at my current ride with the added weight? Thanks and sorry in advance.

 

You good any spin offs are fine, anybody got an answer to his question? And thank you to all who have answered mine.

 

Jeremy, here are some of my pix with billys all around set at zero with eibach and tsb in the rear. I have nitto terra grappler 265/17/70

 

I have the 5100's set at .85 and the Eibachs I went with them because I already had the 5100's and every where I went they told me not to use the billys with the OME springs.

I can snap a few better pics over the weekend. I have 265/75's just waiting for them to wear out so I can run 285's.

 

I'm in the same boat as Hoyal. 5100's at 0.85 in front and eibach/ toytec 1.6" lift springs up front. 5100's and 2" non TSB AAL in the back. I got about 2.5" lift up front, and 2" in back...pics in my gallery. Ride is very nice. Firm but not rough at all...like a sports car.

 

Here is that exact set up.

 

Here's my truck with OME 885s and 5100s set at 0...with a Toytec 2" AAL in the rear. Rides like a champ! It was a little nose high...its settled since. This pic was taken right after the install.

EDIT: I don't have the TSB done in the rear

 

This is the same other than i have top plate and billies set at .85. It works great and had very minor trimming for 275/65/18 nittos. Ride is firm but not bad at all.

 

Is that really just the TSB rear? was this pic just after it was done? it looks great with the factory looking rake. Im looking into 5100's with the Eibach coils (same set up .85). Ive seen others set at 0 that look like they have that rake. just wodering. truck looks good.

 

with the billies at 0 and the OME 885s, are you planning on running stock UCAs? is there any other part of your suspension that is aftermarket?

 

This am I had 5100's installed, fronts set at .85 w/Eibach springs and 1/4" spacer on driver side. Just dropped it off at the dealer for the rear TSB, hope it will be level. Will post a pic tomorrow.

 

All of you guys have awesome truck. I got the tsb installed today and ordered the billys. Now all that i need is the springs, I'm going to do with the eibachs ( sorry to all of the OME guys) but thanks for all of your imput, and I can't wait to the the front end takin care of, so I can move on to other things. Once again thanks for all of your help, and all of your trucks are looking great mine will hopefully be a great as all of yours.

 

I'm all about what works, and the set up they recommended is working great for me. I'm happy I went with the eibachs.

 

Thanks that is with tsb and 1.5 aal. without the aal it was basically level so i went ahead and put the aal so when it sags a little or i tow it want be nose high. I think right now it is a little over an inch higher in front.

 

Ok that makes sense it looked way too high in the rear to just be the TSB. Thanks for your response.

 

I have OME suspension and enjoy it, but if you look into it, you will find OME does not recommend using anything other than OME struts with their springs. I know their are guys out there doing it, but it is not recommended by OME.

 

what im goin with! im a copy kat hehe
my relentless bumper and winch will snug the front down some

 

If you go with the OME front suspension, the 884 springs are for stock fronts, the 885 springs are for a front with bull bar and 886 springs (that’s what I have) are for a front with a winch and bumper. The ARB bumper and Winch combo add about 300LBS to the front. Although someone that just got the new ARB bumper that has the cut outs with built in fog lights said his was only about 250LBS with the winch. My ARB bumper is about 5 years old, so it may have been heavier.
