    So for those that have OME coils

    What setting on the 5100's with OME 885 coils will give the same lift as 5100's set at 2.5 with stock coils ?


    I just installed 5100's set at 2.5 with stock coils on a 2006 2WD DBL cab TRD offoad. Running 285/75/16's on FJ TRD wheels. Did a little trimming and everything clears fine.

    IMO the ride is a harsh. From what I have read the OME coils will ride better than than pre loading the stock coils....makes sense.

    Thanks for any help

    I set my 5100's at 0 with my OME 885x. After 4 months they smoothed right out and I would not consider them stiff at all.

    Edit: I also have a 1/4" spacer on the driver side for the taco lean.

    If you think it's harsh, its probably the cross matching of brands. If you switch to Eibach coils or OME shocks the ride will be much, much better. My 5100/881 combo sucked. Now my 5100/eibach combo is much better.
