Talk to me about coil springs (again)

[wrpsuite]

Time has come to change mine out. 02' 170k miles rear end sagging. I've read a ton of posts on different combinations. Currently running Bilstein HD shock. Not looking for anything dramatic or additional expense. Most people seem to run 906's rear but after calling ARB and reading this http://www.arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/toyota4Runner.pdf they call for 880' and 890's. Any thoughts on this combination. I tow my 19' boat occasionally and a trailer to the dump. Otherwise some random off roading to camp but nothing aggressive. Input is appreciated

I have 906s with the billy HDs. No complaints. Seems to ride nice and doesn't mind being loaded down. This might not help you much, but this combo does work.

So I talked to tech at ARB and this is what I found out. Physically 890s are taller and the coil material is thinner than the 906's which are physically shorter and thicker- They both are made to sit at same height once installed (2'' lift) The 906's make ride a more firm and made to hold a constant 350lb load and still sit at the same height as 809's. I'll sacrifice ride comfort for extra support of cargo and towing. Fronts-880's are perfect if you don't have a heavy bumper or winch. then you want the 881's. I know most of you are serious off roaders but for my needs this is the best setup 906/880. Wished I could have ordered at Toytec but with Amazon prime next day delivery and overall savings of 50 bucks and 5-7 days I'm all in for 361.63...
