OME 906s Sagging- Need Advice

[aontkos]

I've been running OME 881s and 906s for a little over two years now. I've been satisfied with this setup for daily driving and weekend camping trips.

I've added a Hitchgate from Wilco Offroad (~100lbs) and tend to carry ~50lbs of tools and fluid in a bin in my cargo area. Unfortunately living in an apartment doesn't allow me to unload this stuff in a garage like a normal person. I've noticed some sagging from the 906s after running the Hitchgate for a while, and I know it will only get worse when I load it up to go camping.

I've been considering swapping the 906s for 891s, but I'm concerned about the ride during daily duties. I've also considered the 3" springs from Toytec, but I am unsure of their ability to handle extra weight. I've also considered adding 1.5" spacers to the rear in order to regain my ride height.

Do you guys have any advice? I'm starting to think that I'm going to have to make a compromise somewhere...

since the 891's are rated at 210 and the 906's at 220, I think they ride will be about the same.

Good to hear. Thanks for the input.

How much is it sagging by?
How much lift do you want to gain or regain? i'm asking because maybe their OME 10mm spacers will be enough for you. I have them on my 906s and I got about a total of around 2.5" rear lift.

I am like you and carry a bin with tools inside weighing about 60lbs that I never take out of the truck. I have coilovers in the front so I can adjust height as I add weight to the front.

It seems to have lost 0.5-1" of lift. I would like to maintain the 2" gain from the 906s but with the extra weight in the back. I'm hoping that if I go with 891s I will be at 2.5" when loaded down.

The front doesn't seem to be an issue for me...but it would be nice to gain some positive rake!

I put air bags in my rear springs and they are great for being adjustable for the load being carried.

Air Bags....problem solved and best of both worlds!
