Need OME 885 vs 2885 clarification

I want to order everything from Wheelers Offroad, but came across some conflicting information. They have the coil OME 2885 which i can only assume is the same as 885, however it lists it as giving 1.75" lift on tacoma 4x4 when i was under the impression it would give 3" (with top plate spacers according to toyotec). Am i looking at this wrong?

 

885 and 2885 are the same, 885x are sometimes seen as well. The x is the newer version less prone to sagging. I think you could only find the old version used. I doubt there is any NOS of these remaining, perhaps on ebay.

The actual lift height depends on weight so dont get too hung up over it. The 887 is the same rate as the 885 but 5mm longer IIRC but check with wheelers or headstrong first. Or you could just preload using the spacers as advertised. Go with 887 if you are hung up over getting 3". If you want close then get 885s and add 1/4" or 1/2" as needed spacers.

 

2885 = 885

 

But why would wheelers list it as 1.75" lift? even with top plate spacers it wouldn't make the 3"...

 

Most DC guys see about 2 1/2"

The 1.75" is the spec that OME / ARB has for those coils in their literature

That height assumes an approx 150lb load IIRC

 

OOoh thanks for the insight! I do have a DCLB prerunner, so that clears up alot of things
