    this ^^ looks like 10mm difference, so about 1/2" in height of coil.

    Ok thanks guys. One other thing about the price...he wants 325 for the setup. It's the 884 coils, OME shocks, and half inch spacers already assembled. Thoughts? I know I could probably buy it all separate for cheaper, but with shipping and assembly and everything it would probably end up being more.

    Without looking up prices sounds ok. My 886, nitros, and AAL were about 900.

    I'd figure out if the shocks are the same or not first. $325 is certainly enough for a used front setup... I'd want to know how much use they've seen and the condition of the shocks/coils. It's not terrible if everything is in good condition but not a screaming deal either. Having them assembled does make it nice and saves you some money if they're the correct shocks.

    ^^Important to know. 884x are the updated part no. and less prone to sagging.

    What year is the FJ? '07 to '09 it will fit, '10 & up take a different shock and may not work.
    Anyone know when they changed to the X coils?

    He says he installed them a year ago. Just asked him whether they are 884x or not. Thanks for the help.

    He says he doesn't know whether they are 884x or not. Anyone know when they released the x's?

    Hey guys im looking in to getting OME suspension lift for my 2012 taco i live in canada and the guy said shipping would be really pricey if i want them sent up here from the states are any of you from canada and if so do you have any issues with running the nitrogen filled shocks in winter ? temperatures that range from -20 Celsius to -45 Celsius with wind chill are normal in saskatoon saskatchewan but OME lifts look to be the best on the market please send some feedback

    I have heard 1/4 spacers will give you about 1/2" lift. So you probably want 1/4" or 1/2" top plate spacers. If someone can explain why that is that would be awesome, i have never fully understood why 1/4" spacer will yield 1/2" of lift
