How much lift from OME kit, w/o Spacer

Hello,

I've been lurking here for a while... I don't want to start another Billstein VS OME thread, but I am having trouble deciding on lift options. My truck is a 2006 Access Cab TRD OR. I just ordered 5xGoodyear Duratrac 265/75/16.

I am aiming at 2.5" of lift. From what I have read the OME package is supposed to be a softer ride then the Billies, which is desirable for me.

Can someone please confirm the height I would get from this OME kit without the topplate spacer. I was thinking 885 coils. I have no extra front weight, but I have read that the 884s sag.

Can I use the 1.5 AAL for the TSB, with my NON-TSB Leaf? I only want a small amount of rake, and my factory setup has about 2" already. I dont think I need a 2" AAL. (I have a Leer 180 Canopy on order too, so this weight along with camping gear is a deciding factor as well.)

Thanks for your help.

 

ull probably be slightly over 2.5" with the AC. I'm a reg cab and got close to 3" without the spacer. Just go with it - u'll be very happy. And the 265s will be fine

and get the 1.5" AAL - u'll be happy

 

I have a double cab, 885's with 5100's and no spacer and received exactly 2.5". I have the 1.5" aal with the tsb leafs and have a bit of rake (with a leer cap). I also have 265/75/16 Duratracs sitting in my garage waiting to go on in a couple of weeks.

 

I have been looking at this same kit for quite some time now I have a 2011 access cab. I want about 1 1/2 to 2 inches of lift. Would the 884 springs be the right choice? Or do they really sag alot over time? I wouldn't mind having more lift but I don't want all the problems with alignment and all the other crap. Thanks

 

Was this with the 885s?

 

Can anyone else confirm height with OME & 885s on an AC?

 

and 884's to please???

 

I got 2.7" of lift on a dbl cab 2wd drive with the OME885 coils no top plate spacers...an access cab 2wd should still be under 3" ...for the rear I have the tsb and 1.5 AAL made for the tsb. I am 3/4" higher in the rear..good luck

 

ya duh thats what u asked for right

it'll be great

 

I got 2 1/2" up front with 885's on my DCLB 4x4

The new OME "X" coils do not sag like the older ones

 

I have the access cab and I got 3 inches in the back but I went with the Dakar springs. I also got just about 3 inches (between 2 3/4 and 3) in the front. 885 coils with no top spacer.

 

So I guess if I am reading this right, If I am looking for 2.5" of lift, and the new "x" OME springs don't sag, perhaps I should go with the 884's?

Seems everyone got more than 2.5 out of their 885s

 

the 884s are the same spring strength/stiffness as the 885s but are 10mm shorter - they wont sag any more than the 885s. Since they are 10mm shorter, you can expect about a 20mm (~3/4") lower lift compared to the 885s. This will put you right at ~2" of lift total. This would be good for running 265s plus you wont need to worry about your CVs being at too steep of an angle.

 

^ this. Also probably won't need new UCAs.

 

Sweet, Im getting there now, thanks for this info.

So if I add the 884s and get roughly 2" and decide its not quite enough, I can add the topplate spacer correct? How much addition lift will the spacer give me? .5"?

Thanks for your help!

 

ya but i think u will also need longer bolts to accomodate the spacers. it will probably add closer to 3/4"

 

Thanks for the info everyone!! I'm going to go for the 884 springs, I only want around 2 inches of lift, sounds like the 884's will fit the bill. Thanks again!!

 

What are those wheel and tire specs? Looks great!

Not to thread jack (although I think OP got his answer already), but i have a question.
I am looking to order an OME lift next week for a 05 AC TRD Sport 4x4. I was thinking of getting the whole package with 885's and the Dakar leaf packs. I do not have the TSB and tend to bottom out with loads. I load up my dirtbikes a lot with related gear, and occasionally my street bike.
What do the educated think about my choice? Advice?
Thanks TW!
