5100s set at 1.75 Installed Today - Pic

The eibach coil at 0.85 will give close to 3 in of lift***

 

885's should be used with a plate armor bumper, 884's will be used with your stock bumper to achieve 2"-2.5' of lift. Eibachs with billys at .85 is roughly 2.45" of lift given that an Eibach coil provides 1.6" for a DBL Cab.

 

From Toytec website:

The coils below are for 07-09 FJ Cruiser, 05-09 Tacoma, & 03-09 4-Runner.

---884--- 2" lift standard coils - add top plate spacers for full 3" lift

---885--- Medium 2" lift coils for 110 lbs additional front weight

----886--- Heavy 2" lift coils for 200+ front weight -- No top plate spacer needed--

 

VV See below

885's and Eibachs are not similar in length or spring rate... 885's are 580ish #/in, Eibachs are 620 (Stock is around 540)

885's will give you close to 2.5" of lift on a double cab Taco with 5100's at 0 or on Nitrocharger shocks, Eibachs give you 1.6" of lift on a similar Taco (you can get 2.5" out of Eibachs if you set the 5100's to .85)

884's will give you right around 2" of lift on 5100's at 0 or on Nitrocharger shocks.

OME and Eibach coils provide lift because they have a longer free length than stock coils and because they are stiffer.

 

soooo why would 884's be used for a plate armor bumper over the 885's?

 

they wouldnt be. he was mistaken.

884's = stock taco
885's = armor
886 = armor with wench

but its all personal preference really.

 

Must be a fat wench

 

I think initially had the 884's confused with 886's.

 

Hmmm. I thought that the eibach 1.6 coils and ome 885 coils were similar because wheelers off road states that ome 885 coils will give approx 1.75 in of lift. Wheelers says to go with the 886 coils with a plate bumper to get 1.75 in of lift

 

I see that now on their site... That's horribly misleading! You'll get more than that with 884's.

Here are some rough numbers for an unloaded 4x4 V6 Taco for reference. Obviously they'll vary some depending on the model.
883's will give you around 1.5" of lift
884's = 2" of lift
885's - 2.5" of lift
886's should only be used with a heavy bumper like an ARB and a winch

883, 884 and 885 coils all have the same spring rate (580#ish) but each coil is 10mm longer than the subsequent coil. 886's are 10mm longer still and are a 650# coil I believe.

Eibachs will give you 1.6" of lift with 5100's at 0 and around 2.5" with 5100's at .85. Eibachs are a 620# coil.

 

good info.

there you go, OP. this is about as accurate as your gonna get.

 

Great detailed info and just what I was looking for! I know I am going to at least go with the 5100s. This info on the coils will help me dial it in to where I want to be. Thanks again Pugga for the help.

 

Wow, great info...thanks!!!

 

885's should also be used for double cabs, correct?

Sorry for the noob question, first Taco and I just got it. So if I have a '12 ACSB TRD Sport with 4-pack leaf would I go 883 coils and 5100's to level it out or 884's? Just wondering if 884's with 5100's at 0 would give 2" lift then the nose would be a little high? Or is it not universal and I need to measure to see how far off I am? I like the smooth ride it currently has and if I can level it out without stiffening the ride I'd prefer that.

 

^^^ Coils aren't specific for cab size. It all depends on how much lift you want. 883, 884, 885 and 886's will all work for double cabs.

OME coils will ride stiffer than stock, they have a higher spring rate. It won't ride bad but will be stiffer.

I would measure from center of hub to fender and decide which coils you'd need. Another option would be 5100's and your stock coils. Set the 5100's to whatever setting they need to be to level you out (most likely 1.75). This will also cause the truck to ride stiffer but it shouldn't be a bad ride.

 

I'm going to go with 1.75 in the front. I don't have the TSB but want to get the Toytec AAL. I want a slight rake. Should I go with the 1.5" or 2" Toytec AAL?

 

If you don't have TSB, the 2'' Toytec AAL is used to get pretty much level but I think if you want a rake, the 1.5'' will give you that.

 

You have that backwards... 1.5" AAL if you want level with the front at 1.75, 2" AAL if you want some rake with the front at 1.75.
