I thought the 885s were the medium coils but I think you would get a similar amount of lift to what a daystar 3/2 spacer kit will provide. I almost went the spacer lift route too. It's pretty tempting with the price being so low and all, and with the ease of conversion back to stock, and no need to gut the xreas. But if you're in it to win it so to speak, or in it for the long haul then the daystar stuff will eventually let you down, and be a waste of money. Different strokes obviously but What my "offroading adviser" recommended was that I worry more about how long the lift will last. You have some miles on your truck right? So before too long the factory springs will want to start to settle a bit, perhaps sooner with the daystar spacers installed. New OME parts all around ride like stock, make perfect stock replacement springs, and considering the fact that the dealer sells a 3in lift spring for the 4Runner they'd be hard pressed to refuse warranty service by saying you caused damage, other than to actual suspension components that is. Also, not that the stock springs and struts won't get you pretty far off road, but they're not likely to provide the kind of capabilities a full up set of springs and struts will provide. that's my take on the spacer lifts. The only thing that really kills me is when guys buy the spacer kits and then turn around and pay some joker $500 to install it which would have been enough money to get an actual suspension system, instead of a plastic disk with holes in it. Never know you might learn something doing the install yourself, i did.
So I think stiffer spring might help with that.
