As a preface this site rocks! I have read everything I can but am still confused as to which rear springs. I have a 97 SR5 2wd 4runner. I have a ARB Tacoma front bumper and 9500lb winch up front with fresh (3 days old) OME 881 springs and Bilsteins. I can't remember my original measurement on the beat springs but I am sitting right around 36" from the ground to the fender flare in the front and 34ish in the rear. I am thinking OME 890 or 906 for the back. I do hunt and fish a lot and pull a small duck boat but the majority of the time I is loaded like it is. I do not mind some rake but do not want a ton. So which rear springs 906 or 890?

 

I have 881s in front and 890s in the rear(on a 4WD 97). The rake is perfect for me, meaning that when I've got 500-700 pounds of stuff in the back, the truck is level.
Wish I'd gotten Bilsteins instead of OME shocks....the OMEs are lumber truck stiff when empty, but maintain a nice firmness when loaded.
Bilsteins, based on my previous experience on torsion bar and leaf spring Toyota trucks, are a less brutal shock that seem to have a more advanced, speed- and amplitude-sensitive valving.

 

Would you also be looking at the 891 OMEs? If you are often loaded down or towing, they are more stout springs than the 890s.

I have the 890s in my unladen vehicle, but picked up some 891s in case my needs for towing or hauling change...

 

I ended up going with 890s rear and Bilsteins. I am sitting right at 37 in the rear so 1" of rake. Biggest problem now is I need bigger tires. LOL. Should have gotten 880s front and probably would have been perfect but it does ride better since the factory stuff had 305k on it.
