I have an 02' lowrider that i'm ready to lift and put on some 32s, but im not liking the amount of tire gap that I see on the full 3" lift. Especially in my case since my truck lacks fender flares. I was looking into either 99 coils or the OME 881/906 setup with comfort shocks. I've read mixed opinions on both, but I thought I'd query some other owners to get a take on their setups. I also have a brush guard but I don't think that will put any stress on the light duty OME coils in front.

 

I am not satisfied with my OME 881's.

 

Why not? I am considering this one, so I really do want to know why you don't like it.

 

I got 2" of lift with them right off the bat. After being wheeled on like no tomorrow for about a year I was sagged out to a very generous estimated 1" of lift. If I had to do it all over again I'd go with 882's or 883's. This is on my single cab Tacoma BTW.

 

I'll let you know soon as I get them on.

 

You should be ok as long as you stay at stock weight.

 

Some info from Steve Schafer (sonoransteel.com) regarding the OME lift here:

Also, Steve's FAQ section has saved me a wealth of time and money figuring out what I wanted and getting it correct the first time. There are many other great resources too, good luck with your truck build.

Take care.

 

I have the 881/906 setup. The 906's have been great, the 881's setteled so much that I now have uneven wear on my front tires and need to have the alignment done again. I should have rotated my tires sooner.

 

bump for original poster.....

I too am worried/wondering about this as Im really leaning toward new 265/75/r16 cooper stt's and dont want them to look oddly small.....with the wheel setup I have now I rub with the same size bfg all terrains so I'm sure I would rub even with a 3" lift with 285's. In the very near future I am getting the OME 3" kit and new tires before winter sets in oh the delima...

 

Check out bizzyboi's post after the 2" 881/906 install. The 32s (equivalent to your 265/75/16s) don't seem to look terribly small. Looks much better than stock. Why do the 3" with 33's when you can save power and gas with 2" and 32s?

Just installed mine this weekend. Front end sits about 1" higher then the back. Not too happy about that.

 

Do you mind posting pics?

 

why not just go 3" and run 32's now... most people regret just doing the that medium drop and end up doing the 3"... 881's with the spacer or 883/ 882's... i have a pair of 882's that are going on sale pretty soon

 

I haven't seen anybody doing that... wouldn't tires look too small?

 

pm me your email and i will send you a pic of mine

 

How many miles on the 882's? I might be interested in them..

 

I started out with upgrading my coils to 99 springs front and back. The problem with that was even with the new springs, the rear seemed low. So I installed the 906 coils and left the 99's up front and has been the best thing I have done. Now my truck rides better, sits level, and doesn't sag with a 100lbs of stuff in the back. If you want to keep close to stock go this route, but if you want a lift, go with the 3". I love my set up but if I had it to do over again I would have gone taller.

 

Do you have pics of your rig?

 

x2...

 

No pics right now. I will post one up tomorrow.
