Would the 881's with a trimpacker ride well on street? Do I use the n91sc shocks, or can I use bilsteins? Which would ride better and handle well? I have the cornfed spacer right now, and stock non trd coils with 170,000 miles on them. And the front rides like sh*t.

I want something that is gonna give me lift, but also absorb bumps like potholes and speedbumps going slow, and when driving fast, take bumps good too.

I dont have any thing aftermarket on the front end of my truck, and dont plan on it. My truck is a V6 extra cab BTW. Im lookin to get at least 2 inches of lift.

to get 2" out 881s with your v6 you will need to add 1 or 2 trims each side (or, 2 driver/1 passanger to compensate for the lean). Those coils are good for 1.5" after they settle. Each trim pk is good for about 3/8" of lift.

OMEs ride great and yes, you can use aftermarket Bilsteins with them but not OE Bils. Best matching shocks, however, are OMEs. go with SCs for mainly street use.

how would these compare to a Allpro or SAW coilover? Set at oh.. lets say 2 inches.
apples and oranges ;)
the OMEs will flex better off road but the coilovers will give you a firmer ride/handling on the street as well as handle bumpy roads at speed much better.

thanks, hopefully a mildly packed OME will ride better than my cornfed 3" with stock worn out nonTRD coils and bilstien shocks.

What does the lean come from? I am going to use 881's on my FT 6", is this something I need to worry about?

no problem that I've heard of. with that much lift I doubt you'll even notice the lean ;)
