Level Sitting Rig

I have poured over many threads and I have narrowed it down to 2 different front springs. Either the 880's or the 881's. I am putting in 906's on the back with Bilstien HD's all around. I really dont want to do a diff drop. Any input would be appreciated.

It all boils down to use then it would seem.

881's and 906's would sit level. Its my understanding that 880's dont provide much lift if any.

You won't get much lift from any of those springs. Take my advise and go with either the 890 or 891 coils in back (fronts TBD).
Most people have small lift remorse and want more after a short time.

Here is some info on OME coils.

"OME Info: "I am giving you the approximate lift heights, your exact amount of lift will vary slightly depending on the condition of your current springs. The front heights are respectively: 880=1.25", 881=1.75" & 882=2.25" and the rears are: 906=2.0", 890=2.75" & 891=3.0" . The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. " (info given from 4X4 Connection)"

you should get a diff drop ethier way it will decrease the angle of your cv joints making them last longer and it will add a small amount of lift. its fairley cheap too.

Diff drops are worthless.
And why do you say it will add lift?

they sell a 1in diff drop usally when you buy the better uca's because it decreases the angle and it helps when you put in bigger springs to relieve stress. i wasnt talking about the really stupid diffdrops where you dop your diff like 6in because those are just worthless because you get nothing out of it then.

I'm not talking about a 6" drop bracket either. Show me proof that a 1" diff drop actually drops the diff 1".
