884/885 for a 2nd gen double cab

Ya I know another one, but I am looking for anybody who has put an 884 in a double cab RECENTLY and what results they achieved. Chris has helped HUGE and I am close to pulling the trigger on this but am hoping for some results pics.

My intentions-- 2 inch for the front and the 1.5 tsb aal for the rear/ OME shocks X 4 ---keep stock tires. KEEP rake.

I have looked at the 5100 eibach set up and still kind of like the OME stuff/ no offence.

Want to do this right and only once.

Lift has been ordered/ post 42

Yes, I would also like to know about the 884 coils and possibly the 883s.

I have heard they have changed them over the years and would like to know more recent lift results as well.

From what I have found (These are approximate lift amounts)
885 = 3"
884 = 2"
883 = 1"

 

Why do you only want 2" of lift? Save some money and go with 5100s IMO. Are you looking to improve your ride, because that coil was not desgned to handle weight of double cab.

 

Oh well hell....once again chris knows more than me.

 

The 883 is also the same rate as the 884 and 885 just shorter in length than the 884

 

So if you want 3 inches of lift and you buy the 885's do you need a top plate spacer?

 

884s will be here monday for my dc lb. Will post pics once installed.

 

This is the route I'm going ^^^

 

I'm running 885s and i'm getting a little over 3". No top plates, just the 1/4" driver side top plate to fix the Taco Lean

 

This is the route I'm going ^^^

 

Before I got my front bumper, I had 884s, then eventually 886s. I switched to 886s because the 884s had sagged dramatically. It started to rub in places that it didn't rub before (33" tires), even after trimming.

I bought the 886s with no intentions of getting a front bumper. In fact, I had the 886s a long time before getting the front bumper. Honestly, I didn't notice any kind of difference in stiffness between the 884s and 886s. 884s and OEM coils? yes there was a difference but not when I upgraded to 886s.

Thanks NFL for the future pics. What set up are you going for? 884's and ? shock.

Are you taking out the 5100's???? Why?

Thanks again Chris.

 

After lots of help from Chris4x4 (thanks again) I decided on the 884 with 5100 set at 0 in front, TSB rear with 1.5 Toytec AAL & 5100 in rear.

My goal is to get around 2"-2.25" of lift in front, and then have some rake in the rear for when I haul a trailer.

 

Let me know when you are done , i would really like to see some pics. I to haul and want the rake to stay.

 

That sounds like a decent lift without hurting in the pocket!! I like that!!
I personally was looking at the complete OME lift but that's just it, I've just been looking at it!!! LOL.....

 

Anxious to hear the results!

 

Install Friday, will post pics afterward.

 

Thanks for the update NFL. good luck and can't wait to see the pics
