    Looking into getting front coils for ‘04 V6 Pre Runner paired with Bilstiens 5100 up front. Coils set to bottom notch.

    Was originally leaning toward OME 881 coils as they’re a bit stiffer than 880, but it’s a Pre Runner so there’s no front dif, so would it be too stiff and jack the front up super high?

    Running stock front bumper with no winch or anything like that. Bone stock.
    Looking to get around 1.5” - 2” max lift. For pre runner would 880 be better suited to achieve 1.5” - 2.0” lift? Or is the 880 just too light of a spring?

    Anyone with experience with either of these setups? Preferably pre runner but any info helps :) thanks in advance

    I have the OME 881s set on the middle setting and have a front differential and a 100lb ARB bar, no winch.
    Almost 3" of lift in the front.
    Keep in mind that this is a single cab.
    Hope that info helps...

    02 DCSB prerunner 4x4 manual
    I was running 883 up front before I converted my prerunner to 4x4. The 3.4 is heavy, my ride wasnt noticeably different before and after, ride height dropped 1/2 inch after 4x4 swap. 5100 should be st at lowest position unless using stock springs. My vote would be 882(same spring rate as 881 just longer) set at zero
