Debating between OME 886 and 888 Springs

Currently have the 887 but will be adding a C4 bull bar bumper (75lbs), Winch (50lbs) and Skid Plate (30lbs). I would like to not only keep my 2’ish inch lift but add another 1/2 with after adding the 150lbs in accessories.

Considering either the 888 with 10mm spacers or the 886 with 10mm spacers. Anyone have experience with both spring sets who can comment if it’s better to go with the shorter higher spring rate 886 or the longer lower spring rate 886

 

Great question, I'd like to know too!

 

I don't have a 3rd gen, but the 888 is the same spring rate as the 887 590lbs just 5mm longer (less than 1/4in). Where the 886 is longer but also a higher spring rate at 660lbs. I would think with already having the heavier 3rd gen and then adding more weight, you're gonna want to go with the 886 and not the 888. Maybe Marie @HeadStrong Off-Road could chime in on whether the spacers are needed or not.

I've have 886 with 1/4 spacer arb and winch, (2nd gen) the ride will be more firm with the 866 if you still want a softer factory ride maybe the 888.

 

I don’t have experience with both however i have a lift with 886’s on order from @HeadStrong Off-Road. Had several conversations with Marie. 886’s are the correct answer.

 

@ photocycler, did u go with 886 and 10mm spacer? I'm thinking of switchibg to 886...
