Jacksonville, FL Area Scheduled Meets-Ongoing

Well it is not MY company. It is the company I work for. Regency Centers Corporation, is a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust) I personally do all the SEC Reporting. Basically all our filings that are required to be filed with the SEC for investors. Here is the latest filing I did on 8/2/16 for our June 30th 2016 financial statements. Pretty long and boring read but since we are a Publicly traded company the filings are required thus I have a job

and this^

 

Damn looks boring

 

lol pays the bills and is pretty interesting to file something and directly see how it impacts the stock price before and after.

 

True i suppose. Lol

 

also takes forever to do that document. I spend about 1.5 months putting it together and longer for the annual 10-K

 

So here are the Specs of that lift posted by Zakk. I'm really liking what i'm seeing but my concerns are (and maybe Justin21 can chime in) that you have to order the heavy duty 2887 springs to get the full 3 inch lift. But im not sure if ill ever add any additional weight to the front and I don't want a really stiff ride. Can anyone please comment if they have any of the springs listed here and give there opinions on the stiffness of the rides.

Please guys i could use some help deciding.

 

I had the 885s on the OME kit...bought 886s when I got my bumper but never put them on...sold it all and got a diff lift instead. Never ran the 887s so I cant comment

 

there is a thread on TW somewhere... OME before and after lift numbers that I posted what lift I got with the OME lift and 885s back when I had it. You can search and see what folks are getting in that thread. It was def at least 3" in the front worth of lift and I don't think you will need the 887s for that if you don't plan on any front weight and you might just end up making the ride stiffer as my 885s def made it ride stiffer than stock for sure.

 

I was under the impression that 885 and 887 is the same spring rate but the 887 is intended for a 4 runner but works on tacoma. The 886 is stiffer and is same height as the 885 but wont sag with heavy duty stuff like the 885. I beleive they say heavy duty for 887 cause its taller and will sag to 3 inches. But its spring rate is still lower thus retaining a softer ride than the 886

 

ditch the sway bar, don't do drop brackets...just read all the horror stories about drop brackets for the diff...they are everywhere

 

I shpuld probably keep the sway bar as i drive quicker. And jax is full of dumbshit drivers i might have to swerve away from

 

it is really just personal preference. I drive my lifted truck like a car and really don't have any problems even with the crazy drivers I have swerved around. I do have the 700lb icon coils so it is a bit stiffer but even with my 885s I was fine without the sway bar. It is just whatever you want to do and prefer

 

How difficult is it to remove and put back

 

it is literally 2 bolts on each side....however I took the grinder to the middle of mine and cut it in half cause I didn't want to take my heavy skid plate back off.

 

well then your invited lol

 

Any input helps even on the 885's if you were to say 885's were kinda stiff I would have to assume the 887 would be even worse. So any input is greatly appreciated.

Thank you Sir.

 

Kinda lost its cool factor after i had myself on a dark road. And then i turned 21 and had minimal intrest

 

Same spring rate. Maybe different preload. Ask in an ome thread about 5100s and 885 or 887 and which is stiffer

 

I actually had the 885s before my Radflos. Didn't like them. As mentioned, too stiff and not enough lift for me. Radflos are giving me about 2.5" and are pretty smooth.
