help with OME lift kit

how it going everyone its time to freshen up the suspension on my 03 tacoma.
she has 246xxx miles, 4x4, sr5. I want to get an OME lift kit and i want to make sure i order the correct springs, leafs, shocks for my application. This is my daily driver and i also use it to carry my sport ATV, tow small trailer, carry kayaks. so what would you guys recommend i get?
BTW i live in south carolina

 

Are you wanting to lift it or just replace with new parts. For a small lift you can go with 881 springs and a full Dakar leaf pack. It all depends on what you are looking for.

 

I would like to lift it a couple inches. which shocks are better the nitrochargers or the bilsteins?

 

If your going with ome get the nitrocharger shocks. I am a double cab just like you and I went with the 881 springs and the toytec 1/4" top plate spacer. I got a little over 2.5" of lift. In the rear I went with a new Dakar leaf pack. It rides pretty good.

 

Well OME springs will ride best with OME shocks, they're designed to work with each other.

For the record I have Nitrochargers and 881 w/ top plate spacer. I like the ways it rides, firm but not overly stiff.

 

883 coils
Dakar leaf pack
Possibly the AAL
Nitro charger shocks

 

As long as your not planning on adding a heavy duty front bumper all you need is the 881's and the full leaf pack which rides like a dream when loaded down. But you're only going to get about an inch in a half in lift, and you don't have to change out the front brake lines either.

 

whats the difference between 881 and 883 coils?

 

1-1.5'' with 881s and 2.5-3'' with 883s.

883s will take more weight as they have a higher spring rate.

but they are the same free standing height.

 

Agree and disagree, it also depends on whether you are prerunner or 4x4 and v6 or 4 cylinder.
I'm at a little over 2.5" with 881 and 1/4" top plate spacers. The 881 coils gave me just over 2" of lift.

 

OP is a double cab auto..there for a V6 and is also 4x4 as said in the OP

with a v6 and 4wd, 881s only give 1.5'' at most after they settle.

also will depend on your driving.

 

OME 881, Dakars, Bilstein 5100s. but i am biased....lol

i also threw a set of helper springs on mine to carry my 4wheeler (kodiak 450) and does just fine. they only install on the rear of the leafs, i dont have the heavy duty helpers

 

Granted I have an extra cab, but my truck is a V6 4x4 with 881 and 10mm top plate spacer and I have over 2.5" of lift. They do settle, but not as much as you are leading them to believe.

 

This. Except the AAL should be a definite addition. That setup will do just what you need and give a great ride.

 

883s even if he's not adding weight in the front like a bumper or winch?

 

For 2.5" of lift or more yes.

 

That's what I'm running. Love it. It is a stiff ride but with a couple hundred pounds in the bed and/or towing a trailer, it rides awesome. Great offroad as well. My CVs are steep but better than most I see on here.

And as box rocket said, get the AAL if you plan on towing a trailer with any sort of gear in the bed at the same time. It helps a lot. Check my build thread for some pics. Keep in mind it has settled a lot since I installed the suspension.
