    No I didn't. I know they don't come with the top plates but I thought they came with the bushings. Mine weren't in there. Gonna have to find some tomorrow, or I'll reuse my old ones.

    Update: The mounts I bought last year came with the bushings. The ones I bought this year didn't. That is why I am in this dilema.

    SO, the fix. I called OK4WD and luckily they had MOOG tops that came with bushings. Rear is complete. Was going to do the front but wanted to get my sensors swapped out of my wheels. Did that first, got caught up with some stuff at my dads shop and decided tomorrow I will finish the front end.

    Just wanted to let everyone know, make sure you get the correct tops if you are looking to just swap out like I did.

    I will update tomorrow with the MOOG part numbers. I am a fan of MOOG, highly recommend.

    my build tread: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/socal-no-shame-poser-build.513084/
    Just installed ome 90000 front x886 coils and a 1/4” hs spacer. I was expecting to get about 2 1/2” lift up front then after bumper get 2” which is where i wanted to be. Rear hs-3 leafs gave me 2” perfectly. Truck drove home great no alignment issues or vibrations or shaky stearing wheel.

    However: post measurements shows i got 4” of lift up front. Can anyone chime in on how much their 886’s settled? Also the boot ribs are touching and i think i read that is very bad and they will rip. Other than that i love the new height and very happy with the ride!

    I got 4" as well, mine settled just a little but not much. I am expecting it to drop some when I get a bumper, winch and armor. The only thing you can do about the boots rubbing is the boot slide mod or replace the boots with the better high angle boots from SDHQ.

    I did not do spacers just the trim packer for lean. My 265's looked the same, I have since upgraded to 255's. I did the boot slide mod and ordered the SDHQ kits to rebuild two spare CV shafts I have. When it comes time to swap out shafts I wont worry about the bout the boots touching then. A pic from yesterday on the trail for reference...20171022_143022.jpg

    I have had the OME Heavy Lift Kit from autoanything installed over a year ago. The kit came with 885 springs.

    I'm thinking about leveling the front out some. Do you all think I need 886 springs or top spacers? My grill guard is between 100-150 lbs.

    I'd check the weight of your brush guard again. 100-150 pounds sounds a little high. A steel full hoop Pelfreybilt bumper is around 150#

    Do you think 1/4 inch spacer will do the trick? How big can I go?

    Depends on how much you're trying to lift it. 1/4" will net you .5

    The 886 support 200lbs so swap those out or do 1/4” spacers. Talk to headstrong off road they will hook you up.

    But since he already has 885s, which can handle the 119lb, why not only spend $20 for spacers instead. I guess it depends on the type of ride he wants.
