I took some pictures. They arn't pretty but that's not what were looking at. Just a reminder, I have Tundra TRDs up front and OME 890s out back. I don't have any extra spacers, just the springs for lift.All measurements were made from the bottom of the flair to the center of my wheel cap. Unloaded the measurement was: Front 22.25" ,Rear 23". All other measurements will reflect a drop or rise from these measurements. I added 35# sandbags to my rear bumper for weight. This was as close as I could get to hitch weight.

Unloaded the measurement was: Front 22.25", Rear 23".

Loaded with +210 lbs: Front no change, Rear drop of .5"

Loaded with +315 lbs: Front rise of .25", Rear drop of .75"

Loaded with +420 lbs: Front rise of .25", Rear drop of .1.25"

Loaded with +560 lbs: Front rise of .5", Rear drop of 1.75"

This is 560 lbs of sandbags. This is the placement for this test.

My setup in by no means harsh nor is it squishy when loaded or unloaded. My ride was more harsh with the stock spring/shock combo. Stock I had Tokicos, I replaced them with Bilsteins which gave me a firm supple ride. I was still hitting my bumpstops and Jounce Bumbers (rear overloads) I kept my Bilsteins with my new springs. Great ride. Shocks can have as much if not more effect than springs on how harsh a ride can be.

OME Info: "I am giving you the approximate lift heights, your exact amount of lift will vary slightly depending on the condition of your current springs. The front heights are respectively: 880=1.25", 881=1.75" & 882=2.25" and the rears are: 906=2.0", 890=2.75" & 891=3.0" . The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. " (info given from 4X4 Connection)
