    I think the 887's are for heavy loads. 230+ lbs. It's for healthy drivers and passengers.

    I think they all pretty much have the same spring rate, just different lenghts to compensate for the extra weight while retaining the same lift with the additional weight.

    Nope , 886's have a higher spring rate

    884's , 885's and 887's are all the same

    Learn something new everyday. So might possibly get a 3" lift on 887 without top plate spacer. I guess depending on the lenght of 887's.

    I think the 887 is actually for the FJ but I've started seeing Wheeler's selling it for the Tacoma as well. Not sure if other vendors are doing the same.

    OME 885 (16.5mm bar dia)(395mm 15.55in free height)(9.8 #turns)(4.7kg coil weight)(Rate: 590 lb/in 103 N/mm)

    OME 886 (17.5mm bar dia)(402mm 15.83in free height)(10.6 #turns )(5.9kg coil weight)(Rate: 660 lb/in 115 N/mm)

    OME 887 (16.5mm bar dia)(400mm 15.75in free height)(9.8 #turns )(4.7kg coil weight)(Rate: 590 lb/in 103 N/mm)

    OME 888 (16.5mm bar dia)(405mm 15.94in free height)(9.8 #turns )(4.7kg coil weight)(Rate: 590 lb/in 103 N/mm)

    I run them on my '13 DCSB 4x4 Off Road. Got me a full 3" with 5100s set at 0 with a 1.5" HD AAL from Wheelers on OEM Bilsteins and 3 leaf OEM pack. This is with BAMF kick out sliders (hefty 150+ lbs) and a IFS skid on front. My alignment specs were good so I could wait on the aftermarket UCAs.
    [​IMG]
    They are 4Runner springs per the Wheelers site. YotaDan recommended the 887s to me because he said with 885s I would have only gotten 2-2.5" total after my sliders and front skid.

    Thanks :D I like to silence those who think that 887s were a typo, or who don't think they work on Tacomas. I am very happy with my apparent one of a kind setup! Thanks for the back up. I wonder if anyone has tried the 888 coils to gain more than a 3" lift. And PS, I too hate BM (referring to your avatar).

    You got 3" with the 887's alone ?

    Do you get " over speed bump goes clank " ?

    Fuck Brad Marchand , I hope he dies soon

    Nice rig, Gen!

    I've got Billies in the front and rear with the stock 3 leaf pack. I'm leaning more towards pretty much the same setup as you. Are those tires 265s?
