    nice, so i get those and put it on the higher setting to lift it a bit would it me a pretty rough ride? and if i go with the spacer would it be a smoother ride with the shocks being back to stock hieght? i wonder if it would count as a lift if i got these shocks and put them on the higher setting haha thinking insurance right now

    Have your 886's sagged at all? My 885's have only sagged 1/4" since I have had them, 23,000 miles. :)

    So If I went to 33's I'd be right at your height. Or if I used the 1/2" spacer they say you need for the 3" lift. :)

    OME had some issues with their springs sagging prematurely. I spoke with them before I got my 885's and they assured me that the springs have been made to not sag like they used to. They shouldnt sag any more than anyother spring.

    2005-2008 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 and 4x2 Trucks

    CCM Offroad and Performance has designed and built the best quality and strongest lift kit on the market. This kit will level the front of your Toyota Tacoma Truck by lifting the front up 3 inches.

    --- 1/4" Steel which is CNC Laser Cut (NOT plasma or flame like other kits) for a very tight tolerance fit.
    --- 1/4" Wall High Strength Spacer Tubing for a very high strength unit.

    --- OEM Style Grade 10.9 Pressed in Studs (NOT welded in bolts) This keeps the bolts from weakening during the weld process.
    --- Turn Table High Frequency Pulse Welded. Insures for proper penetration of all the weld area without the need for starts and stops.
    --- Powder Coated semi gloss black for a great looking long lasting durable finish (NOT just rattle can painted or sprayed with automotive undercoat.)
    --- Complete and easy to follow installation instructions for a simple straight forward install.
    --- LIFETIME GUARANTEE!!!! For questions telephone us at 805-464-0505 or email us at info@ccmoffroad.com.
