    You would need a spring that will fit a stock shock, not a coilover spring.

    I will be trying these out with my ome 885 coils. There are guys running the 885's with 5100's so it should be fine.

    #580 or #600, not sure I'm leaning toward #580.

    I think I will be the next Guinea pig. If I order now can you wait to ship them until after New Years. I will be out of town for the next week

    I am still on the edge about ordering these. Does anyone have any other ideas about what else I can run to dial in the front ride height that might be a better known company. I can't justify spending 1500 on kings but I'm not sure 5100s will get me where I want either.

    Got my first drive on the profender Tacoma coilovers. Installed with ome 885x springs and the drive as good as my icons did. Mounting the resi's was a bit of trial and error but I think I have them in a good spot but haven't flexed the truck yet to see how everything clears. Will post pics tomorrow.
