I currently have the ome 885 on the 5100s but concerned if that will be enough to maintain a decent lift height or not. Have also heard of OMEs sagging over time...

I've seen guys run all different Dobinsons coils on the 5100's, but always at the lowest clip height. I think that's the main thing, you don't want to add preload to them. I've also seen the bases snap on them if too heavy of a coil is added. You won't break the coils, but you could end up ruining the struts.
And as an FYI, Bilstein only recommends stock/OE coils on their struts, or coils they provide, otherwise they don't provide any warranty with them from what I've seen in their documentation.
