    I'm doing a suspension overhaul with Bilstein 5100s, front and rear, OME coils and a Dakar leaf spring. I'm trying to match the right coils with the right leaf spring.

    I carry an ARE topper, weighing about 150 lbs, at all times. I also have a platform, drawer contraption (with gear) in the bed, weighing at least another 150+ lbs. I often sleep back there and I'm a heavy 170. I've installed a second battery into the engine compartment, but have the stock bumper and no winch.

    I'm really not looking to lift the truck more than 2 inches -I don't want jack too much with Toyota's suspension ride engineering) - so I'm not sure which coils and leaf spring set to go with. Here's the wish-list I've compiled at Wheeler's Off-Road (they're awesome, by the way). So, with the regular weight I carry, and desire not to lift beyond 2 inches, what's the right match up?

    1) OME 883 coils with Dakar medium leaf springs (EL095R X2)
    2) OME 884 coils with Dakar medium leaf springs (EL095R X2)
    3) OME 884 coils with Dakar heavy leaf springs (EL096R X2)
    4) OME 887 coils with Dakar heavy leaf springs (EL096R X2)
    5) OME 888 coils with Dakar heavy leaf springs (EL096R X2)

    Hey there, would be very curious to learn what setup you ended up going with. I also have a V6 Access cab with a canopy and I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on option 2 for OME 884 coils with Dakar medium leaf springs.
