And dont tell me Tundra/TRD springs, I have already decided between OME and that.

OME881
OME891
N91S
N86
2 1/2" Trac/Panhard Bar Drop Bracket from Sanoran Steel
Tapered 1" Front Differential Drop Spacers from Sonoran Steel

Thats my list thus far, will this fit 285/75/16's fine? Should I get a set of trim packers for the front? I am thinking Kuhmo Mud tires. . .

Thanks

you don't want the 881's, they will not lift high enough for the 285s We had ours changed out on our 97 from 881's to 882's, and we are running 265/75's. If you run that front spring, your truck will be canted wayyyy forward, and you will rub all day long. Even there, you may have to take a hammer to the inside of the fenders a bit, but that's only a maybe. I would do:

882's front
891 rear
1inch BL, and you clear fine.
Get all the other goodies from steve, and you'll be set.

 

Don't you need to extend your break lines in the rear?

 

Not w/ the 891's. At least, he shouldn't have to.

 

You should get a set of 1-1.5" spacers to go with those 881s up front and level out the ride so you can clear those 33s.
The 891s in the back should be fine and no, you don't need a brake line extension.

 

no brake line extension needed. In fact, ours runs fine with no panhard drop or anything in the rear. I'm not sure the dude who asked has even seen in

 

My 285's rub at full lock on the frame. My lift is in my sig. I extended my brake line for peace of mind besides it was only $25.00 at Wheelers Off Road.

 

I guess I would be better off to just get Tundra springs for the front instead of 881's, but everything else OME?

 

If you want to fit the 285's, just go OME and a one-inch body lift. This is also more economical than other lift combos out there.

I really like my OME rears and if I knew what I knew then, I would have probably just went w/ OME's all around.

 

But the 881's wont be enough lift, should I add 1 inch spacers in the front to level the front/back out?

 

just get 882's, they cost the same as the 881's

 

I did OME 881s and 1.75" worth of daystar spacers above. I would NOT reccomend the 882s. They have the same # of coils as the 881s(which means they are just over stretched 881s), and everyone I know that had them, had a HUGE problem with them sagging. My buddy robby had to put 2" worth of trim packers above his 882s they sagged so badly, if you plan to add a brush guard/bumper, they will definately NOT hold up. There is a ton of info about the 882s on TTORA, and that is the general consensus. I used OME881, 1" daystar spacer in the strut and a .75" top out spacer(which is easy to remove/go larger on). The 891s will work A-OK in the rear, but you may want to add a spacer there too, I got about 3" up front, and about 2.5" in the rear, check my sig for pics. I tried a set of 285 BFG ATs on 4" BS 16x8 rims, and they fit 100% with my set up. They were tires a friend had laying around. I run 265/75s though, so I don't kill my gas mileage and power. Just my thoughts....

 

ours run fine with an ARB and a Warn M8000 up front, no sagging.

 

Could i just get the 881's with trim packers and a 4Crawler Body lift, or would it not be level at all?

I will look into 882's

 

Ours work great, but it sounds like others have had problems. Check into it a bunch, hate for you to get something that doesn't work. I think that with the spacers, and the body lift, you should be able to clear the 33's. PM Ric, he's got only spacers on stock springs with a BL and clears 285's with a tiny rub here and there.

 

Ok, I have read Bamachem's thread, and I think I will go with his front setup.

How many inches will the 891's give me? Will it be level with the TRD Tundra 4WD Front Coils

Thanks for all of your help

891s will give you aprox. 2.5" lift when settled. Mine was like 3" at first, after a year it has been holding steady at 2.5". I see you have a 99, so you can always do the bump stop chop lift, and get the .5" back, you should be able to level it out with any front setup fairly easily.

 

Alright, I am bringing this one back.

Now I am leaning towards 882's based on this chart from TTORA

http://ttora.com/wiki/index.php/OME

Is there something I should know? Are 882's for Taco's the same as 882's for 4Runners (stupid question I know)?

Based on that it should give me 2- 2.5 inches of lift. That wont tear CV boots like crazy will it?

 

881's, 882's, etc, etc are specific spring OME products. as for your cv boots, any lift will cause the boots to wear and tear sooner....... the time to tear depends on how much lift and how much driving you do. you could use the lift boots like all-pro offers, or stick with what you have until they rip apart. i keep my oem boots clean and flexible using some vinyl/rubber conditioner like that offered by Mothers in the red bottle.

 

881's give you 1" of lift, that is in the real world. They are a spring designed for a considerable amount of weight on the front over stock. So you have a 3/16" plate bumper and a M9000 winch, right?

My advice is to find someone with the 881's and ride in the truck. It is extremely stiff, because no-one has the front end weight to run them. They are for a Toyota Prado which is considerably heavier and designed to give that truck 20mm of lift. There is you inch. Just add a spacer to your stock coils, spacers on 881’s is buying twice. Although 99 factory coils are 1” taller than your 98 factory coils, you could just get a new set of 99 coils and probably get more lift than the 881’s.

Next down the stiffness ladder is the 2.0 Sway-A-Ways, but those are for Desert Racing and should be so.

You can get a kit put together by someone who has bought literally everything out there and tired it all or you can try to piece something together. You will get a million opinions and most of them you will not agree with after the install.

The other thing you should look into, is the length of the front Old Man Emu shock and CV axle failure due to over extension of the CV, literally ripping the cage out. There are threads on this here on Yotatech, look them up.

Prado parts are OK, but there is alot better stuff out there these days.
