OME Coil lifts 886 vs 887 vs 888

I’m over it though. I will eventually upgrade to Kings 2.5 or Fox 2.5s

Even if you could, the spring architecture is totally different for 6112s. 6112s utilizes square end(flat) vs an open-ended type like OEM(looks like a big tail). Plus 6112s comes with their own springs.

 

yeah man my 888/5100 with I think either the 1/4" or 1/2" spacer still only gave me 1.75-2", bogus front sagged bad, I upgraded to 886 and sits perfect

 

What’s the offset/backspacing on your wheels? Looking at doing the same setup

 

I have lot of rake with 887 and 5100. would 888 help Or put stock coils and set 5100 at top notch? These are 5100 from a second gen

 

Why not just go up one notch with the 888s? They've sagged (compressed) enough where I dont think it would make a huge difference unlike trying to compress brand new 888 springs on the 2nd notch.

Stock springs all the way up might make a real stiff ride.

 

I’ve soon many people against this but might have to try it. The ones on during that pic were 887s. I switched to 888 went to 4wp and brought them home and installed. Still though minimal difference

 

Sorry to hear that but based on my experience you’re going to see at least 1/2” sag after 3-6mo. We need a higher spring rate, so 886’s would’ve been a good option.

 

Damn. Gonna have to order them because it’s killing me to see that rake.

 

I personally like having a slight rake so long as my approach angle is still decent. That being said though, has anyone considered that the 888, while able to sag slightly might also offer a bit more range of motion due to it's length and low spring rate? I would think you could increase the truck's articulation if you are okay with having a slight rake to achieve it.

Edit: Also, I am looking at a lower bumper replacement and winch that will weigh about 180 pounds give or take, and Headstrong suggests that I may be happier with 886 vs 888. It's still a tough decision for me because I like the concept of soft springs paired with stiff shocks, and 888 is softer than 886. It's hard to tell though what the end result will be until that day comes. I only have a 1.5" AAL in the rear, and the truck has a very slight rake from the factory as it is which means all I would really need is about 1.5" in the front to maintain a factory appearance. My logic here is, if I use 888 which is meant for 2.5" without weight and it sags to 2", and then I add the low bumper and winch making it sag to 1.5" I would still be in the "factory look" zone, but with a little extra height.

 

Did you end up with the 886’s? Looks like you no added weight (bumper/skid/slider/rack/etc).

 

Rehashing am old thread, but I have 5100's with the 886's.

OME states in their documentation to only use the lowest perch. That said, I did achieve close to 3" of lift going this route. That being said, I still rubbed the cab mount on my wife's 285/70/17's even after the lift. I had a CMC done and run 295/70/17's. Still get a slight rub here and there, but think it's from the bumper. I'm running stock control and, but they achieved close to 4deg caster out of them, and there is plenty of clearance with the tires.

Ride is noticeably stiffer over stock, but not bad enough where my wife complains when we take my truck instead of her 4runner. She is also running the 5100's, but on OE springs on the top notch. Her truck rides substantially nicer. Both are the TRD OR models. Hers is a 2019, mine a 2020

 

I've got 887 on my 3rd gen and the front sags so I'm switching to the 886. I'm using the OME Nitro shocks also and heavy Dakar springs in the rear so the truck doesn't sag in the rear when the boat is connected to it. I'm also going to add the UCA and see how much difference it makes. My local shop tells me it should eliminate the rake. I hope they are correct. I'll post pics when done so you can see the difference.

 

Sag is what I’m afraid of, but concerned about losing the rake completely as well.

Do you have any other weight up front, and do you have the firm or soft valved struts?

 

I guess technically it's not sagging, it's rake. If you're using the lightest OME coil you'll get the factory rake. I'm using the OME Nitro struts so there's no adjustment to be had. It all came as a kit from OME. I see people are using the 5100's but the local shop convinced me that this was a good option as it came as a tried and tested kit from OME. I just wish I went with the heavier springs to begin with as it would seem my front end is a lot lower than other 2" lifts I've seen.

 

The look you have is what I’m looking for. What are your measurements from the center hubs to fender?

Mine are:

Current Measurements (Taken from wheel hub to fender):
Front Driver: 20”
Front Passenger: 20 3/8”
Rear Driver: 22”
Rear Passenger: 21 1/2”

 

I thought it was advised not to use the 886s with 5100s. Is this not true?

 

There seems to be a lot of information out there regarding the 886/887/888 that applied to the 2nd Gens, then people just carried it over to the 3rd gen. Another example is the soft valved OME struts on 886’s is not advised but I’m running them w/ no complaints.

There are enough differences with the 2nd and 3rd gen that seem to allow for these different variations.

 

Not gonna lie I totally forgot about my own thread haha. Anyways, I’m gonna be switching up my setup soon from the 5100s with ome 887 coils to the icon stage 9 coilover with the discount my new job offers. I rarely tow/haul anything so in my eyes I wanted a 3in level on all 4 corners and I thought that my 5100 lift would do that but sadly I was disappointed. My lesson was always do you research and get it done right the first time.

 

Im just wondering how are your soft valved OME struts holding up with the 886's? and how is your ride quality? I'm very tempted on going this route.

Cheers,

 

I still dig it, ride quality is good for what I do which is mostly pavement. Still no weight up front. I really wish I could compare soft vs firm valve so I had a comparison to base it off of but I wouldn’t change anything if I were to do this again.
