2.5" lift with OME-2883 coils/Bilstein 5100 ??

[MaunawiliBoy]

After a year of reading here I have put together my lift options and would like any feedback.

Got this set up from Wheeler's Off-Road. For my 2014 White SR5 Premium. $883.00
Front: OME 2883 Front Coils on B/5100's + 3/8" top plate spacer. (+1/4 spacer on passenger side for lean)
(2883 coils were recommended because It's a daily driver and won't do extreme off-roading)

Back: B/5100's + COIL-T12 Individual Rear Coil Spring, 1.5" (Their new coil)

Tires & Rims: XD-Series Wheels XD796-Revolver 18x9
285/65/18 Nitto trail grapplers.

I got the tires and rims for $400 from a friend and might sell the tires and get 275/65/18's (Only 10,000m on the tires)

The 2.5 lift is to avoid needing a UCA.

Any thoughts on this set up????

Anyone have the 285's with a 2.5 lift and 9" rims?

Your the first I have heard that bought those new springs. Id like to see what you think of them or how the truck sits afterwards.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet but I'm about to : )

Toytech will be offering their new 1.5" rear coil in about a month.

Probably made at the same place.

I want to hear your opinion of the 883s also. I seriously considered them.

 

[jwkilgore]

Any reason why you're using 3/8" spacers instead of just setting the 5100's at 0.85?

 

[MaunawiliBoy]

Good question... The OME front coil springs are longer than the stock springs so you can set the 5100's at the 0 setting. The other settings will preload the shock but with the longer spring you get the height without the preload so you have the full range of the shock. The top spacers bring the height to a full 2.5 inches of lift.

Toytec can do the same thing with their 5100 coilover that's a 3". You just ask them to leave off the top plate spacer for 2.5 lift. It's their coil though which is stiffer than the OME 2883.

they are the same as the old SAWs, just rebranded Eibach

Yep I read that too. I think the 1.5 coil that Toytec is releasing next month
is the same thing for them.

 

[ST1FLER]

I have the coils on my rig

 

[MaunawiliBoy]

I notice you have the tires that I'm going to swap to it my 285's don't work out. I think 275/65/18's would be a better fit and should be the same radius as yours

 

[ST1FLER]

I think the 275s are a perfect fit

What actual lift numbers did you get on the rears after settling?

they didn't settle much if any (havent measured lately). I got right at 1.75" after install, I have 3rd row seating

Sorry to necro this thread, but I'm wondering if any of you ran the 2883's on the lowest perch and what kind of lift you got out of it. I'd like to use them up front with 5100's, but I can't seem to get the exact amount of lift I would get with them.

I got exactly 2" with NO extra weight. Once you add weight up front they start sagging.
