890 seems about the best choice for 2.5-3" lift when not carrying lots of weight. Amongst the other 2.5-3" options they seem less likely to fall out.
model/spring rate/wire diameter/free height D/P
OME 2890 190 .591 17.13/16.73
OME 2891 210 0.63 16.53/16.14
OME 2906 220 .669 15.35/14.96
I bought Tundra TRD coils for the front.

One thing to note with the numbers above is that these springs won't give the same amount of lift. Using these numbers (which I haven't verified, but assume to be correct), here are the spring heights with 1000 lbs of load:
rate free H H @1000lb
890 190 17.13 11.87
891 210 16.53 11.77
906 220 15.35 10.80
Note that 890 and 891 have about 1" more lift than 906.
I have about a 2" lift with the 906's in my '97 (which is exactly what I wanted), so you'll get closer to 3" lift with the 890/891.
I'm quite happy with the ride with the 906's, I don't find them too stiff at all (and I like comfort, so take that for what it's worth).
