OME 885,886, or 887?

I have searched and searched, but can find any info for a setup like mine.

Setup DCSB
Bilstein 5100's at-1.75 front
Bilstein 5100's w/ TSB-leafs rear

I was sitting close to level, but now the rake is back. I don't mind a little, rake, but it's almost back to factory.

I think the cause it the allpro IFS skid (about 50lb) and the CBI front receiver hitch. Not sure how much the hitch weighs, waiting for CBI to reply to an email on that.

I'm going to make a few changes. Likely a 1.5 aal and get OME coils, just not sure which one's are best for this application. Keeping the 5100's, will just change to 0 to only get lift from coils.

From what I have found 110lbs of additional weight is the cutoff from 885 to 886, 887s are taller than 885 but not as stiff as 886. I have to be right on the edge with weight.

Looking for 2 to 2.5 of lift, minor rake ok as I occasionally pull trailers.

Any thoughts or experiences?

EDIT:
887's, 1/4 inch spacer for driverside lean, rear 1.5 AAL, Light Racing UCA's all ordered

Current Measurements with Bilstein at 1.75 front and Rear TSB leaf springs
center cub to fender:
L front-21 1/2
R front-21 3/4
L rear-22 1/4
R Rear-22 1/2

I'll update with measurements after lift once everything is installed.

887.

 

that was quick. problem solved.

 

Buy from @HeadStrong Off-Road also.

885 will be too short. 886 too stiff. 887 is king in your needs IMO.

 

I thought 887's were to get a full 3 in lift. Think I have enough weight to bring them down enough. I don't want to get into new UCA territory

 

Don't forget the 1/4 inch spacer to compensate for the lean. Ask me how I know. You'll also want to make sure to replace the UCA's.

 

Stock my lean wasn't really noticeable. is it worse with the OME coils for some reason? I wasn't considering using to spacer.

 

I have OME 885's with top plate spacers. No additional front weight and my truck sits exactly 1/2 inch lower on the driver side. Most see this issue when installing after market coils because the drivers side coil doesn't compensate for the extra weight on the Tacoma. The 1/4 inch spacer will give you that needed 1/2 inch which will level out the truck.

 

Also you won't notice the lean with stock coils and 5100's because the drivers side coil is engineered to hold that extra weight.

 

Thanks, did not know that. Thought the OEM coils were identical.

 

It's a 3" ish lift without a heavy skid up front.

@Bentrodder just put in 885s on his stock truck and got less lift than he anticipated. No skids.

 

I have the 887's on mine and am at 3 inches.

 

No prob

 

I was thinking about going with 885s and adding the spacers if needed, but I wasn't crazy about it. If 887s will come down enough with 120-130lbs of additional weight, that's sounding pretty good.

 

added weight from skids or anything?

 

I have 885s with an Arb bumper with a top plate spacer on the driver side. Lift is about 2 3/4 and no sag with the weight.

 

I'm running 887's with OME shocks. Full set of steel skids front to back and Dakar leaf pack. Only running 265/70/16 tires right now though.

Photo to show the ride height

 

Not as of yet, and it sits pretty much perfectly level.

 

Looks really good. what's on the rear?

 

Here's a couple more photos on more level ground. I've never really taken much for straight on level side photos. Though I think I've got some rake.

Also, Head Strong Offroad is great.
