    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.

    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?
