Don't NEED them, but a lot of people including myself kept them in. It's just an overload cone. I just didn't want the metal on metal. I'd leave em in, but it's up to you.
 
i recently did my OME 891 install and decided to not go with the cones.
although you can if you want because mainly it will give you a slightly higher lift, maybe 3/8"s or so. also some say that it will help with non metal to metal contact between the coil and the body.

but i chose to not install becaues 3/8" to me isnt much and i havent had any issues with the coil contact when it was on my 97 since they didnt come with cones anyway.
also the OME 891 probably wont even get close to using those cones for their purpose anyway.

MAIN reason i chose not to install was because i noticed there could be a possbility under full flex that the cones would limit my compression and that outweighs the benefits listed above for me.
i rather have more flex up and down then to have 3/8"~ possible lift.
 
depends who you ask. if you talk to steve at sonoran steel he'll tell you that those cones were never meant to be there in the first place. there's supposedly some 3rd gens that didn't even have those cones from the factory. to each their own though. hope you like the 891's!

interesting..
is your 97 sr5 or limited?
my 97 didnt have them and i know for sure as i bought it brand new in 97.
but ive noticed on 99+ they had the cones.
my 2000 limited had cones. since i didnt use them when i moved the 891s over i put the cones in the 97 now HAH
 
I left mine in, but i have a 1" spacer for the rear, my runner did sag a little bit even without towing>

But towed a 14ft trailer and 2 quads and barely sagged.
 
thanks guys for the quick response...i just didnt see the need for them but i wasnt sure...got alot done..been wanting to make the shock hoops for this for some time now...they turned out great...

mine is an SR5. I have no idea if the rear springs are original though, but I doubt it since they don't sag at all.
