I've talked to a few guys about the Revtek lift and it seems to be a pretty good kit for about $325. I was thinking last night though about just installing OME coil springs in the front and rear. I don't know why I didn't think of this before, but for whatever reason it hit me today.
A lot of guys complain about sagging in the front with the OME coil springs, but I've already got ~1.5" cornfeds that will go to waste if I get the Revtek kit. So I was thinking of maybe installing the 881s in the front along with my cornfed spacers and then installing 890s or 891s in the rear (whichever would give me about 2.5" of lift and ride well without additional rear weight).
Just let me know what you all think of putting in OME coil springs (I already have OME shocks) since it would be cheaper, hopefully give me around 2.5 to 3 inches of lift, and allow me to clear 285s.

Sorry for the long post but I'd really appreciate some input!!

I loved my OME setup.

You'll probably want to go 891s in the rear with 881s and the Cornbreds up front.

You'll also probably need some additional lift in the form of a body lift to truly clear the 285s when offroad.

Check out my website to see what I did...it worked well on and off road.

i would go for 881s with the Revtek top spacer (1/2") and 890s for the rear (unless you carry more than 100lbs of gear, then 891s).

SEARCH.

Alright thanks guys. After a little settling, how much lift do the 881's end up giving in the front??
Also, is there any difference in lift between the 890s and the 891s? Is one more likely to sag? I ask this just because the only thing I tow is an occasional lawn mower trailer and still have my stock bumper so I don't want the ride to be bouncy in the back. Thanks again.

1.5-2". i would suggest installing 2 trim packers per side or Revtek top spacers if you want more than this.

891s are longer. with a stock bumper and no hitch, it is my opinion that the 891s are too stiff and too tall. i have the 890s with stock bumper, trailer hitch, spare tire and about 50 lbs of gear. i get about 2.25" lift from the coils (no rubber cone, which gives another 0.5" lift).

Check that out. Note the springs and spacer used. 2" lift upfront though rather than 2.5

want 285's maybe time to do a body lift ? pretty easy to do...

good luck

Thanks guys, I really appreciate all the help. I think I may just go the OME coil spring way, just to get rid of the rear spacers. Sounds like my best bet will be 881s in the front with my cornfeds and then 890s in the rear with the stock cone as well. It's gonna be a while till I get all the parts and tires together, but I'll let you all know how it turns out!!

RTdawgs- just out of curiousity, why did you got back down to 265s?
