OME 885 or 886

Question about these springs, weight, and height increase. I am running the TRD Baja set up (Eibach coils) I will be adding about 150 Lbs on to the front in the form of a bumper and winch. Which OME should I get the 885 or 886? and how much do these springs lift?

 

I am also interested. I just ordered an ARB bumper and am still running my stock springs. I hear 886s are the way to go.

886

My hybrid bumper weighs around 90 so I got 885s. I'm right at 3"

 

Does OME 885 and 886 raise it the same? Are they just different spring rates?

 

886 is slightly taller, and have a heavier spring rate.

 

150lbs total? What size tires are you going with? What height are you aiming for?

 

OME884 390mm, 590lbs/in, 1 inch of lift
OME885 395mm, 590lb/in, 1.5 to 2 inches of lift
OME886 402mm, 660lbs/in, 2.5-3+ inches of lift

 

around 140-160 total. Relentless Fabrication front bumper (aluminum) = 65lbs. Winch Zeon 10s 75lbs, then some lights and a high lift mounted up front. Tire size I already have, 265/75/16, will stick with these. Lift I am at 1.6-1.75 (level). I wouldn't mind going up to 2-2 1/4. I'm going to add the Icon add a leaf.

 

I was under the impression from everyone that the 885s get around 2.6" of lift am I incorrect?

 

Here are my before and after numbers:

*885s w/ 1/2" spacers up front and 1.5 AAL in the rear*

Before
FD: 20.5"
FP: 20.75"
RD: 20.5"
RP: 21"

After
FD: 23.5
FP: 24
RD: 23.5
RP:24

 

Do you have any weight up front, winch bumper etc?

 

No. I plan on having a bumper built soon. At which point, I'll ditch the 885s and top plate spacers for 886s.

 

How much weight are you thinking total?

 

Do you happen to know if the 885 and 886 will work with the Bilstiens that come with the TRD Baja package?

 

Steel bumper + winch (85 lbs) = 200+ ; not including skids and sliders

Not sure. Maybe someone can chime in on this. If it were me, buy the matching OME nitro shocks and sell the baja to make some money back. I have OCD and like things to work well together.

 

Pretty solid advice here. I bet you could sell the front Baja shocks/springs for more than it'll cost you to get new OME shocks/springs. The whole Baja kit, which most of the cost is the fronts, runs around $1500.

 

If all you're adding is 150lbs and only want a 2- 2 1/4 lift, you'd be fine with 885x springs. 886 will give you closer to 3" and made for closer to 200lbs of added weight. The question is now if they'll work with your Baja shocks. Not sure.

 

IMO, 886s are the way to go regardless of front weight.

 

I like the Bilsteins, mostly on how beefy they are. Are the OME any better?
