    I'm looking at adding around 130 pounds to the front of my 2002 TRD Tacoma. I currently am setup with stock suspension and I do not think that will hold the extra weight. In the future I am looking to get a full OME setup but dont have the funds right now. Would I be able to just get the front OME setup and leave the rear stock or would that be bad or look off. Also I should go with the 883 coils correct? Thanks for any input.

    You can go with a lift up front but you will have rake obviously. I think if its only 130 pounds you can do whatever if it is you are doing and leave it stock for now then add a lift down the road.

    Wouldn't adding OME 883 and shocks allow for it to settle at stock height?

    do suspension before a bumper or else u will get some sag. Have a fat friend sit on the front and see how much it sages and decide if u want that.

    I'm not positive on the OME's for the first gens but I thought any OME suspension was supposed to lift the truck. I dont think any OME spring will take it back to stock height even with 130 lbs.
