    I have a Toyota tacoma trd. I recently bought an Ome 2.5 suspension lift. The springs look the same exact size! Is the stock trd already lifted 2.5in? I feel like I might have just waisted 1300 bucks on an unnecessary upgrade?

    A trd sets the same height as any other 4wd or peerunner. If the springs you bought are actually the correct ones they will provide lift. Did u buy your truck new, u original owner? Could have already been lifted?

    Which ome springs did you buy??

    Looks might be deceiving. The springs likely have a different spring RATE. Have you actually installed it yet?

    Spring length is only one factor in ride height...

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    Stock TRD springs should look progressive rated style (towards the top maybe bottom can't remember the coils should be tighter coiled) vs OME that isn't progressive rated and more Linear the coils are the same if that makes sense.

    So I found out they sent me the 881 coils instead of the 882. So it only is a 1.75 lift. I'm ganna send them back and get the 3in lift coils. Thanks guys for the reply. The old shocks say toyota and are bilstien. With the 3 in lift will I need new cambers along with the uca to correct alignment?

    "They?"

    I had no idea 882s would provide 3" lift.
