Just curious, which OME springs give the most height?
I'm asking about 3rd gen runners and rear springs only. From the posts I've read, it appears that there are at least three different sets of rear springs made by OME for the 3rd gen. Off the top of my head, I know about the 891 and the 906.
How many are there and what kind of lift do they provide?

906s only gave me 1.5"
the Downey coils will give you much more though....as will the LC coils

OME 890s (made for Landcruiser/Prado) about 2.5+"
OME 891s (made for Landcruiser/Prado) about 3+"
OME 892s (made for Landcruiser/Prado) about 3.5+"

It's weird but I used to have some sagging springs w/ a 2" spacer. When I measured the height of this setup vs. OME 891's, I got an additional 1 1/2" of lift w/ the 891's. I'm assuming that these would give someone 3 1/2" based on my unscientific example. Anyone confirm?

892's are the tallest. My 891's have sagged a fair bit over time and I now run 891's, Daystar 1.5" spacer, and another 0.5" from the top part of the factory cone for a total lift of about 3.5".
You can also get 3.5" of lift from the FJ80 springs, and they ride much softer. I stuck with the 891's b/c of my towing needs.

In my experience, the 892's didn't provide much actual lift over the 891's (I've run both), but they were much stiffer built for heavier loads (like the heaviest freakin' bumper ever). The 892 wire is much thinker than the 891, but the coil itself is shorter.
Something to consider between the two.

My 891's sagged due to a heavy rear bumper, custom cargobox inside full of tools, and towing a camper that weighs 3600 or so pounds with a 375 pound tongue weight about 2000 miles a year.

My 890s have held up extremely well too so I think unless you give them some serious cycling (ie repeated heavy loads) they will more or less settle within about 0.5" of install height. My 881s up front are about 1-1.25" lower so I should be able to carry about 300-400lbs in the rear and still ride level, which is perfect to me. I always hated the sagging rear look of the stock springs after a few miles of towing....I bought a truck so it should perform like one!

Thanks.

If you are going to carry alot of weight up front you might want to use 881s and a top spacer.
