    I'm running that setup but with 885x Springs. I have a prerunner and am at just under 3". With you being 4wd, I'd get the 886 springs to get closer to 3"...your truck is a little heavier in the front.

    This unless your running a heavy bumper the 886 is just gonna ride like shit due to being too stiff
