    Hi, I just installed BAMF armor (3 mains skids, rear diff skid, sliders - at least 300 lbs if not more altogether) on my 2006 access cab V6 and it is sitting quite low.

    I currently have Teraflex Falcon front and rear shocks with stock coils and leafs. I'm going to get new Bilstein 5100's for the front and was thinking either OME 2886 or 2885 coils.

    Will the 2886 give me too much lift because the weight of this armor is not all concentrated to the front of the truck? I absolutely do not want less than 2" of lift. I want to get as close to 2.5" as possible without causing issues by going over 3".

    Advice is appreciated!

    Haha I appreciate the suggestion but I know about Dobinsons and that's not what I'm looking at. The question is between 2885 or 2886 coils with Bilstein 5100

    For 2"+ you'll probably need to go with the 886s. OME coils tend to sag over time.
