OME Question

What is the difference between 882 and 886? I realize that it's spring rate but beyond that I don't know. Thanks

 

Have a look here: http://www.arbusa.com/Uploads/PDF/onlineManualsGuides/OME_Guide_current.pdf

In the table of contents, click on COIL SPRING SPECIFICATIONS. Look for 2882 and 2886 and you'll find the specs for each spring...along with every other spring.

 

Thank you very much

 

I looked at both these springs when shopping out my OME setup some years back. They are certainly very similar. As I recall it seemed more folks had the 2886 setup and seemed to like it. Many found the ride harsh with the 2882.

Each spring is uniquely engineered and tested for a particular vehicle and setup/application.

I did notice the 2882 specifically recommends only pairing it to an OME nitro-charger shock. The 2886 has no such stipulation, and I know many folks have used those with the Bilstein 5100s.

 

882 has a 500# rate, while the 883 - 885, and 887 have a 590# rate - spring length being the difference for amount of lift. 886 has 660# rate, as noted from file linked above.

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone putting 882s on our trucks.

 

886X supposed to be Sag resistant

 

All of the new springs are supposed to be. 886 is for full armor plus winch - and some guys still say they're too stiff, others love 'em. If you like 'em stiff 886 might be for you

 

So it would carry more weight?

 

Use the 886s if you are running alot of extra weight up front (bumper/winch). The 886 should keep you from losing some of your lift compared to the other OME springs. However, if you run an 886 without having a winch and aftermarket bumper, then the ride is probably going to be super stiff.

 

886 coils will support more weight on the front end, like a plate bumper, winch, and skids, but will be very stiff and unforgiving without said weight.

All OME springs are now "sag resistant."

 

Thank you

 

What would you do for the rear? I'm planning a rear bumper tire carrier & a Cap.

 

Well if you go OME in the front, why not Dakars 8 leaf pack with OME shocks in rear.

 

I went with 885s and Bilstein 5100's. Great buy from Headstrong Offroad, and great ride! I do not have an aftermarket bumper or winch.

 

Planning 886's in the front to carry my front Aftermarket bumper & winch.

 

What would you want for coils in the rear? I'm planing a After market bumper and Cap.

 

Tacomas don't run rear coils , we have leaf springs

You may want OME Dakars for your constant load

 

oh okay thanks for the knowledge
