OME load options

Those are all for 2016+ 4x4 tacomas per that website. Not sure if there is a diffrence between 888 tacoma spring or 888 4runner. Some old threads people used 8884rn springs on the tacomas until ome realized it was compatable with 2016+ tacomas They then listed it as being compatible with both. Hope that answers the question lol. You asked if they are the same. There is a 5mm difference.

 

Gotcha. Because when I was ordering my setup (2-2.5 years ago mind you) 887's weren't common on the Tacoma's but rather the T4R's.

 

Right. They were always compatible is what i understand just not listed as being so with gen 2’s. Now they are i beleave. People use them with no issues from what i read like you

 

Right. That’s why I keep some rake. A little rake is good for a light truck that actually gets used like a truck.

 

Better than the alternative aka bro lean

 

Is there a height difference with Dakars heavy duty vs light duty?
Based on all your suggestions, I'll be going with:
887 or 888 springs
90000 firm strut
Light Racing UCAs
Heavy duty dakars?

This setup should provide a leveled 3" lift and will fulfill my offroad handling?
Since I'm on the "firm" side, I want to know how the drive is on pavement. Details?

 

Id change strut from firm to sport. Id only do firm with 886 springs. Just remember heavy dakars are for constant load of 500lbs so like a rack rrt and full bed all the time

I have firm struts and springs now with no added weight (installing bumper sat) and its just fine. I am getting a jolt on speed bumps in prking lots but thats it. I cant figure out why.

 

Sport

"Sport" as in soft ride strut? How's the ride with 888 coils with soft ride struts?
Also, as previously asked, does heavy duty dakar leafs and light duty dakar leafs provide the same height in the rear?

 

Light: 2.75" at 0 pounds
Heavy: 2.75" at 660 pounds

That's what the Headstrong site says at least.

 

Ok, 888 coils, 90000 strut with HD Dakars it is. I really want to achieve the leveled 3" lift along with offroad handling. Should I go with the light racing UCAs that Headstrong offers in their kit or a different brand? What would you guys reccomend for something thats affordable thats good quality?

 

Light racing should be sufficient. Had mine from the beginning and they are great

 

Light racing best bang for the buck.

 

Looks like the EL095R Dakars are included at $100 less than HS unless they give a discount from their website prices?

 

I would look at shipping costs for low range. After shipping, it might be close to HS.

 

I have a 17' DCLB and I'm currently running OME 887,s on the firmer OME struts up front (no top spacers) and the heavy duty Dakar springs in back and the truck sits almost level (3/4" lower in front than rear). This allows me to clear 255/85-16's (33.1x10x16) tires on 16x8 wheels without any rub or trimming and I still have my stock mud flaps on the truck.

I used this, trim spacers on both sides. Sits level - would advise changing UCAs. 300 miles and very little settling if any.

Whats the comparison between Dakar leaf pack vs AAL Pack? Both still provide the lift? Are Dakar essentially only good for weight on rear? Its a pretty big price difference. I will not have constant load, only temporary dirt bike loads.

 

Found this on Wheeler's offroad inc.
This seems to beat Headstrong by a couple without the UCA.
Am I trippin? How much are LR UCA alone anyways?

 

Yes. That's $72 more than the Lowrange price I attached above. Also the HS page has LR UCA's the Wheelers page does not include UCA's. SPC UCA's at HS are $485.91 they are $485.91 at Wheelers also. So it looks like Lowrange has them both beat
