881s or 882s?

'99 excab 4wd 4cyl with ARB and smittybilt 8k winch. I've been searching for a while, but can't seem to find a consensus. I don't necessarily want a lift, but this truck is still on the factory shocks and springs, which all need to be replaced. I figured an OME w/dakars is probably my cheapest bet all things considered.

It seems like few dealers carry the 882s, but rather have 881 or 883s in stock. I understand that most people are installing suspensions on 6cyl, so I wonder if the slight difference in weight will make 881s adequate in my case?

 

I have a V6 Auto Xcab and a winch and bumper with 881’s and it’s fine, more than enough.
It is lifted 2”-ish with the Bilstein 5100’s though.
Hope that helps…

 

That does help, thanks.

 

Contact Cruiser Outfitters for any OME questions you may have. They specialize in this type of suspension. Cruiser outfitters. Com

 

I've used them for land cruiser parts in the past. I'll give them a call. Their site says 881s, so seems like a good plan.

 

With your setup, 881's will be good to go.
