    Anybody have a top plate spacer that they don't need/ want? My lift is starting to sag to 2.5" now and I want the full 3".

    It's hard to show, I couldn't even tell if it was sagging until my friend got her 3" spacer lift.. Then I measured it and it's at 2.5 in the front. That's with the heavy 886 and 9000 struts.

    Yes sir
    It's not sagging, it's settling in. The 886 coils give you 2.5 inches of lift. 887's give 3 inches.

    It says 885 and 884 need top plate spacer for 3" lift. So I'm assuming 886 should give you a full 3" without.

    Toytec, on their site it says 884 and 885 need top plate spacer for full 3". That kinda gave me the impression that 886 wouldn't need a top plate for 3".

    884 , 885 , and 887 are all the same spring rate just different heights , shorter to taller respectively

    886's are taller than the 885's and have a stiifer spring rate designed for and aftermarket steel bumper and winch

    I wish they would say that you need a top plate for 886 as well.. Would have bought it and installed them together rather than waiting for some and installing afterwards now.

    So, in conclusion... If you have 886's with bumper, winch, skids... you need a 0.25" top plate spacer for a full 3" lift...

    Am I right?

    886's and 887 are essentially the same height , the spring rate is different

    I'm curious now as to why I didn't get the full 3" with 887's? I'm pretty much stock and got 2.75 all the way around. You can see my post a few pages back as to the package I got.

    Well... Now with all of these I have a question...

    What will be the distance between the center hub to the fender with a 3" lift...

    I ask this because I never measured it when it was completely stock... And now with all the weight added, I don't know what will be my final lift...

    Thanks!
