Rear suspension OME 890 or 891
Hi Everyone, I'm new here. I have a 98 4 runner which I am looking to lift. This is my first modification. I have read alot about the Tundra coil lift and it sounds awesome but I am a little timid in trying it because I don't quite understand it. I decided on OME 882's on the front,for the height and I have a 110lb brush bar. In the rear I was thinking OME 890's or 891's. I want as much height as possible without the back end sticking way up in the air. I don't mind a little higher, an inch or so is fine, However I don't carry alot in the back so I don't want it to feel like I'm riding on concrete. I also don't want the rear to sag when I do load it up for trips. Can anybody help me out there.
Thanks for all your time, 98T4R, in need of lift

use 891's and don't forget the diff drop bracket. Before i had bumpers and such, I got about 3" out of my 882's and 3.5-4" with my 891's.....
I've had very a good experience with my OME, so good luck-
oh yeah, and I got my lift for under $550

Ome 891's
Hi Hoju, I checked out the pictures of Betsy, she is beautiful. Do you carry much weight in the back of your truck. Is the rear end hard with the 891's. And, do you have a body lift on her aswell or is that just the 882"s and 891"s that allow 35's. Finally , is betsy 2wd or 4wd because she sure does look tall in the pictures.

I like the slightly tilted look and the 4runner comes factory 1" higher in the back anyway, then when I load it with gear the backend will not look saggy. My problem is I would like to go with 891's in the rear but I don't want a harsh bumpy ride when I'm not carrying weight.

Here's my 4runner the day i got the lift put on. Because of my stereo in the back, it's sagging a little bit, IMO. But, that's 882's with diff drop and 891's with 10 trimpacker and HD shocks all around.

I was thinking of spacers but I'm starting to head toward OME front and rear.
I only want about 2" in front and 3" in back. I need to still get into a garage and this is all the room that I have between my rack and the opening.
Below is what I was told by an OME dealer.
I hear that the OME 880 will give me about 1.5"-2" in front, 881 for a heavy bumper/winch. And 906 or 890s if I tow alot and would give me 2"-3" in the rear. I was also told that I should not go with the 891s only if I was going to carry a constant load of 660lbs.
Who is the best and least expensive OME dealer?

There are a few running 880s and 906s on here, but not many.
You might also read these if you haven't already:

From what I gather people with the 880s were getting about 1" of lift (vs 1.5+ with the 881s). You will definately have a visible tilt to the vehicle with 880s up front and 890s in the rear (alot of times you see people eventually put a 1" spacer in up front to compensate for the tilt later).

It gave me exactly the look I was after, rides great and didn't break the bank.

Does anyone have 891s on the back of their 4runner? I do tow and haul a fair amount and am thinking of 891s over the 890s. But I dont want to go too stiff that it won't flex and or feel like a buck board on the road.
