    My front suspension is in dire need of some love. My OME 886 coils are sagged to stock height.

    2.5-3 years 40k miles

    they have never had enough spring rate at 660lbs for my setup. I will be going with 700-750lb coils when I do the swap. Stock 3rd gen coils are 710lb so I knew going in that I was going to have to do something.

    Okay. I'm running 886 fronts, Nitrocharger shocks all around and Dakar HDs in the back. Gets me worried every time (insert in edit) lol

    Edit: every time someone complains about the OME setup. I have no issues, but I've considered a less reliable and more maintenance-heavy suspension route like Icon or King.

    I’m not complaining about the OME stuff on mine. The roll over second gen coils they offer are just not a high enough spring rate for a 3rd gen with the amount of armor that mine has. The OME rear springs are the only way to go imho. Other than the shackle contact on the heavy pack add a leaf.

    I do beat my truck pretty hard while doing side work. Some places I have had to go to build pipe fence corners and stuff like that a Tacoma really should not be. Not to mention with a welder and fabrication tools in the bed or on the trailer behind it.

    I wheel mine, but generally I'm soft on it. 680 is the poundage from what I remember on 886s, but it could be better only slightly heavier.

    The problem is at the levels the springs are rated I'm at 5300 pounds before I take a squat in the driver's seat. 886 is designed for just an arb bumper, winch, fat driver, no other upgrades. Everything else pushes it to past the weight limit.

    I am at least a 1000 lbs heavier than your truck. I have crossed the scales at 7100 with all the welding gear loaded on the truck and some materials on the roof rack. OME spring chart from Slee for future reference. 2705 coils will fit on Tacoma front struts but not recommended by OME.

    Kings save the money on the adjusters and get custom calving. Call up accutune or down south motor sports and talk to them.

    Thinking I am going extended King’s up front no adjusters. Leaving the rears alone for now. Later on I am going to relocate the rears and going 12” travel with adjusters.
