    I am getting totally confused to which way I should go with this...

    2nd gen Taco Double cab long box, currently running 885 springs + 5100 shocks, and of course I didn't think at the time of install that I am going to be running winch, bumper insert, rock sliders and aluminum skid plate, but I did end up doing all that.

    OME recommendation is to run 886 spring with heavy load which it kind a is, but then I am not running OME shocks, but Bilstein 5100s. And @HeadStrong Off-Road doesn't recommend running 886 with Bilstein's.

    Since 887 are slightly taller (but not as tall as 886), but still the same spring rate as 885, I am not sure if I'll achieve desired result. Also there is no mention of using 888 that are even taller for heavy load applications, since they are same spring rate as 885 just taller - so wouldn't they just sag a bit more and achieve similar result as 886 just not as rough ride since their spring rate isn't as high?!?

    I guess what I am trying to figure out is there a way to keep Bilsteins and achieve lift that would be similar to OME 886 considering the load or do I need to go all in on OME front shocks if I want that kind of lift...

    OME 883: 375mm in height, 590 pound spring rate
    OME 884: 390mm in height 590 pound spring rate
    OME 885: 395mm in height 590 pound spring rate
    OME 886: 402mm in height 660 pound spring rate
    OME 887: 400mm in height 590 pound spring rate
    OME 888: 405 mm in height 590 pound spring rate
