How much lift you will get will depend on how much your current coils have sagged. 881's gave me about 2.5 of lift from my worn and sagged stock suspension, (I was sitting at 19.5 center of wheel hub to flare initially). I am using the sport nitro shocks from Arb since they are engineered to work together with the arb coils. A good place to get them is from your local off road shop, look up 4 wheel parts in your area, they have locations across the nation and im pretty sure you can just go on their website and they can ship parts out to you as well. Good luck!

I'm on a stock 99 sr5, original owner, only 107k miles (mom just used it to shuttle me to school growing up, now its mine 
), so it sits 1 inch higher than others.
i dont plan on taking it wheeling, its a DD plus camping/snow car. will not take it offroading, only towing/hauling when I move places, so I don't need those capabilities.
Trying to decide between 880/906, which would almost give me no lift
or if the 881/890 would give me a nicer lift aesthetically, but potentially more wear (CV axle)/worse mileage
I will be running these with either the bilstein 5100s or OME nitrochargers
I understand this has been debated to death, but I really can't decide.
all comments/criticisms welcome.
my priority is to make this car last as long as possible as well as comfort. not sure if the CV axle wear and tear is overblown as long as i stay on highways, but its just freaking me out (especially because my friend snapped his CV axles on his tacoma wheeling). but once again, I really would like a noticeable lift

Draymondgreen69, I'm currently trying to make the same decision on whether I should go with the 880/906 or the 881/890. I was wondering what decision you made? Thanks!
906/Bilstein on 97 Limited
So I did Bikstein 5100 all 4 corners, then changed rear springs to OME 906, yes longer spring "A" on driver side. got 1.5" lift on rear but pass side an inch higher than other 3corners. Front Bilsteins stock height setting. measuring from flat concrete RF is 35 -1/8" to cladding, LF 35-1/4", LR 35-1/4" (so its level and I was hoping for 1" rake). BUT LR is 36 1/4" so thats perfect. Add spacer drivers side? Air bags with individual fill lines? I mean its probably fine functionally but I went to all this trouble. Ideas?

When measuring ride height it is best to measure center of hub to wheel well lip. This makes comparison with others easy and takes out any variability from wheel/tire size. Even so, there will be differences, as you probably have noticed, from body cladding.
A spacer will probably do the trick. Also, I'm a big fan of air bags. I frequently load up the back and/or pull a trailer. I didn't plumb the left/right separately, though.
