I just wanted to know if anyone knows the answer to this. I was looking at the Toytec's OME 3 inch lift. According to them they use OME 881 for the front and OME 890 for the rear. What I want to know is how they got so much lift in the front, about 2.25 without a spacer when MTL_4runner came up with "The answer is not tall enough I don't think. My guess is you'll need the tundra coils and his spacer to get anywhere near the 2.5" mark. For reference my OME881s with no spacer gave me about 1.25" over stock." What gives. Im confused.
MTL_4runner 1.25 no spacer
Toytec says at least 2 no spacer
For reference
CUJEEPRS runner with what would be 881 in the front and 890 in the rear

 

^ excellent question. I don't really care for my tundra coils, and have thought about trying these coils in the front. I have the OME 890's in the back and they are fine, but the tundra coils are too stiff. Just wondering if I can get the same amount of lift.

 

I just got my 881's and 890's yesterday and will be intalling this week. My 2000 has 120k on it and the stock springs are bagged, I am very interested how much lift I am going to get. I will post pics and measurments later this week.

I ran the 881s with with 906s and i was about 2" too high in the front. I also ran them with HD bilstiens, like an idiot.

Get the correct set up in the front, go with the tundra lift so you dont have to get limiting straps.

If you plan on putting any kind of bumper up front, dont go 881s.

 

Of course the lift you might get will probably be different than someone else. I think I got almost 2.75" out of my TRDs w/o any spacers and 3.25" out of my 890s. My springs were shot! I had the specs for the OME springs, e-mailed from OME/ARB, but I don't have them any more. If I find them I will post them.

 

Would you like to sell me your tundra coils! I like em stiff :pat:

about how much did you pay for the extended studs and spacers if that's what your running. I'm just trying to compare different setups. I'm not interested in spending too much on my suspension mods.

Funny thing is I still need to get a 4runner.

 

Do they not hold up well to aftermarket bumpers? I just might try for another TJM.....

 

I got 1.25" up front (from a stock height of 35" all around, fender to ground, on stock 265/70R16 tires), but my springs were used when I got them (ie completely settled) so they were probably more like 1.75" when installed right out of the box. When Matt (Localmotion) put them on with high pressure bils (if they were), that would have added even more height. Now when you go using topout spacers, the height of the spacer is not the same as the amount of lift you'll get due to the geometry of the suspension (ie a 3/8" spacer will probably give you more like 1/2" of lift). If Toytec says 2" with no lift then I either got a bad set of springs (which I doubt), they used some generous numbers for marketing (I think even OME's marketing numbers were a little generous, so they really only applied to right after install) or they just took the lowest year (2001-2002's which sat at 34" stock ride height, fender to ground). Knowing how corporate marketing works, my bet would be on the last one. After trying 881's and 890's myself, I'd much rather go with Tundra coils up front as a match for 890's in the rear.

 

yea, i have a buddy who has t-15 and it sagged after he put the bumper on. He now has a winch as well, so I cant imagine how much it made it worse.

 

Nope, that's why I got mine used......the other person switched to 882's (Tundra coils hadn't been "found" yet). If you want a big bumper like a TJM, no question, use the Tundra coils.

 

I contacted a distributor of OME. Attached is my Q and his A.

Q: How much lift could I expect to get out of the following coils on a 2000 Toyota 4Runner?

Fronts:
880
881
882

Rear:
906
890
891

A: "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: 1.25", 1.25", & 2.25" and the rears are: 2.0", 2.75", & 3.0". The 882's are not an ARB/ OME recommended fit, but our experience has shown that they work well with some applications. Please feel free to call me on the phone and I can go over this in detail and let you know how each set-up may work/ ride."

 

That pretty well jives with what I've seen to be true in application as well.

Thanks for that Gerdo!

 

Thanks everyone, I haven't bought it yet, but once again Tundra coils overcome, I just really like the look of CUJEEPRS's runner but I guess its not the best setup.

GOOD INFO Gerdo

 

I love my Tundra's!

 

I got the 881's and 4 ome trim spacers (2 per side=10mm or almost 1/2"), arb part # OME95PF5 with the n91s shocks and i got 2.5 lift in the front. Those spacers go between the lower spring keeper and the ring on the shock, thus slightly compressing the spring.

 

Pictures?

i have the toytec kit as well....890, 881's in front...at first i got around 2.5" then id say the front has sags to around 2" but have atleast 2.75 in the rear after a couple thousand miles....I am also running a top out spacer up front.i did install a 1" bodylift (not pictured). overall it rides a little stiff. i think the panels in the truck rattling make it feel worse in my head.. but the truck hands the cross bronx expressway like a dream!

with 1" body lift

 

good looking runner, thanks!
