Bilstein 5100 with OME 906

[4wd4runner]

So I recently installed my bilstein 5100s all around with TRD Tundra coils in the front and OME 906 coils in the back. I put it on a hoist and noticed that at full droop the coils are loose. Has anyone had the same problem? If so, what remedies have you used.

Also, I noticed that the right sits 1/2 inch higher on the right than the left, even unloaded with an empty tank

Since 906 springs are the same height as rear stock coils
And running the 5100 is 2 inch longer than factory shocks it is common for them to come loose at full droop
To remedy it you can add some trim Packers maybe two 10mm for each side
I got the same problem but I got some 7 wraps waiting to be installed to not have to worry about it

I've run into this problem as well. These springs are great with heavy loads but flexing not so much. I still love mine though.

Do you have the taller 2906 on the drivers side? There is a difference between the 2. The instructions are confusing at best but the taller spring needs to end up on the drivers side.

Mine is dead level in the rear with 2906s. No trim packer needed.

I'm running 906s with 5100s and a trim packer on the driver's side. Rides great and sits level. I don't get off-road where full flex/droop is an issue.

Just for clarification is it the drivers side or the passenger side that is higher?

(full droop the coils are loose) is this the same for 890 springs and 5100 shocks?

Passenger side is higher

mine didnt come with any instructions. I had no idea that springs were diffferent. I must have lucked out as mine sits level.

Mine didn't have any instructions either, but OME web site has some. Basically one coil is noticeably taller hence the A and B labeling. The taller one goes on the drivers side.

How much lift did you get with that set up? I was planning on doing the same.

The setup gives 2 inches of lift all around

Would 906 coils in the back with Bilstein 4600s be a good match?

I was hoping to get 3" out of them in the rear. Any suggestions on what spring would get me there?
