Do OME springs add lift with appropriate weight?

    Planning on adding the 886 OME springs to the Taco with a SSO full plate bumper and XRC winch with synthetic rope. Just wonder with the 8&6 springs if I should expect any lift as well.

    Expect about 2" or more lift.

    I have OME 886 with nitrochargers with steel bumper and winch. I got about 2.5"

    Do you mean the springs only or do you mean the springs and shocks (ie coil overs)? The 886 springs are 660 lb/in and the stock springs are 700 lb/in, so I would not expect any lift at all. There’s a chance they are also longer and if long enough could provide lift but it seems unlikely to me. In general aftermarket coil overs provide lift via spring preload provided by the shock assembly.

    OME 886 are lift springs. They are longer so will provide lift.

    05-11: 1.75" Lift
    2016+: 2" Lift
