Not sure of your budget
but you might consider the 2.5" diameter bilstein 6112 strut with the available 650lbs rated spring. no mixing/guessing and predictable calculated results...

How does that spring rate compare to the 885? Does the 650lbs spring come standard or is that another cost? Part number with the heavier spring? I agree a 2.5” shock would be better.

Check the ARB application guide available on the internet for the 885 spring rate. Cant tell you if theres an additional cost/PN since i have the 600 lbs coils on my 6112s. Google should yield you some results on the subject. Good luck..

The 885 is 590lb

I also would have gone with the 6112's if they had an spring option other than 600lb that didn't cost extra. Or if you could just buy the shocks alone . I didn't want to fork out another 170 bucks for springs to help with the bumper and winch.

OME + 5100's
Hey guys, newbie here.

I have an 07 v6 and just ordered Bilsteins all around with OME springs @ 884(f)/895e(r)...

Throughout t4r.org, I have read that this combo will either level out my the vehicle or give it a negative rake. Read another comment saying that 895e's are not meant for 884s but rather 883s. Other say that it works well, but maybe for v8's? Should I be changing my order or is this combo ok? Thanks in advance.

I'm running the same setup on my 07 v6 Bilstein all around with 884 in the front and 859e in the rear. Barely any noticable reverse rake, I can say its almost leveled after its settled and rides pretty nice.

Thanks Nahrah.

I noticed you got UCA's for the set up. I didn't go that route..yet. Were the angles too far off OEM specs?

I installed everything at once, so I wouldn't able to tell you. But my alignment were back to oem spec, plus I'm running 285's and barely any rub.
