OME Spring Options

[Greenleaf88]

New to the site and my first time posting. I have gotten a lot of good information from here and was hoping for a little help. I just put on Bilstein 5100's all around on my '06 4runner V6 and I already want to upgrade the springs as well to get a little more lift and stiffer springs. The two options I am looking into right now is Front: OME 2884, Rear: OME 2895E or Front: OME 2885, Rear: OME 2895. I was wonder if anybody had some opinions from experience, if they got bigger tires with the 2" lift, or maybe some pictures with the same setups to get an idea of what it will look like. This will still be my daily driver, I tow a couple of times a month (Maybe 1,000-3,000lbs most, sometimes through the mountains), and want to start getting into some mild off roading. I also want to put a Winch with a budbuilt hidden mount. Any advice will be helpful. Thanks.

See this thread for specifics on the coils offered.

For the V6, I'd recommend the 884s on the front, and Toytec Superflex coils for the rear. This should give you 3" lift in front and 2" in the rear. The 895E and 895s are too stiff IMO unless you carry constant weight (such as aftermarket rear bumper/tire carrier. The Superflex coils are only 10% stiffer than stock, so the ride is much better than OME when unloaded which is the majority of your time. If you want additional support when towing, consider either Firestone or Airlift air bags.

So in the front, with the 884's, they claim a 1" lift for V8, so a little more for V6. Are you getting 3" with the adjustment in the bilsteins. Also the bilsteins are 0" to 2.5" of lift, can they do a total of 3" even if lets say 1.5" is from the springs and 1.5" is from the adjustment on the shocks.

From what I've seen, OME numbers are advertised incorrectly. Using 884s with the 5100s on the lowest setting usually gives 3" on the V6.

5100s have 4 settings on the front shocks:
0"
.85"
1.75"
2.5"

You can use any of these with the coils, although it's not recommended to go above 3" lift.

Check out my build thread for pictures and a write-up. I have an 06 v6 and I went with 885 in the front and toyota superflex in the rear. I have 255 75 17 (32 inch) tires on currently but I just purchased 285 75 16 (33) tires. It took about 4 weeks for the ride to settle, but I'm extremely satisfied. I went the 885 route because I have plans to add a DO bumper in the future.

I got the top plate spacer, so having a v6, I gained about 3 1/4 in the front and about 2 1/2 in the rear.

Thanks. Sounds like those might be a little more lift then I was looking for. I'm thinking about just picking up new set of oem fjc springs. Gets me a little bit higher and the springs are a bit stiffer. Thanks.
