Yes with a 5mm height difference. 884s are designed for 4runners and FJs, 885s are for tacomas. 886s are for tacomas with added weight such as a steel bumper and to acheive the same height as an 885. If only taller springs were required than OME would reccomend 887s for added weight but they dont...

 

It all depends amigo, a tube bumper no, an aluminum 75lb bumper no, it all depends on what ride height or stance you are trying to maintain as you add weight. Pre loading a spring to compensate for extra weight does not let that spring ride as comfy as it could. A heavier spring not pre loaded can ride smoother than a pre loaded lighter spring.

 

I'm running a steel plate with full hoops and its brought my ride height down more than I'd like especially when I'm needing a full 3in of lift soon.

 

i just contacted DSM so hopefully well find out. i linked this thread in my email so maybe they'll respond here

 

You can't do it. The shocks Arnt made for taller coils

 

what did they recommend? I was thinking if it was possible to change the studs on those to longer ones, maybe you could put some 1/2" top plates or something. But certainly don't buy anything off anything I say. I am only throwing out ideas to get conversations going that might help with your research..

 

They said to just do the 650s if i haven't gone over 175-200lbs of added weight. I was thinking of going with the 650 and doing a .25in spacer on one side and .5 on the other so I'm not dicking with my adjustments to counteract taco lean and give me just a little more height
