Old Man Emu lift springsARB manufactures three lift springs for 2005 through 20010 Toyota Tacomas under the Old Man Emu (OME) brand -  884, 885 and 886.  These springs are made in Australia and receive generally positive reviews on TTORA  and Tacoma World.


Here are the specs from ARB, including length, spring rate and expected lift.

The 884 and 885 run the same rate at 590lbs/in with the 886 coils bumped to 660 lbs/in. Length is as follows:

OME884  390mm, 590lbs/in, 1 inch of lift
OME885  395mm, 590lb/in, 1.5 to 2 inches of lift
OME886  402mm, 660lbs/in, 2.5-3+ inches of lift
Factor TRD Tacoma springs, 14 inches long, 540lbs/in, 0 lift

These springs should only be run with the OME N140S shock; the factory Tokico and Bilstein units will not last with these springs due to their increased spring rate and length.  The 886 springs are only recommended for trucks with heavy front bumpers and armor (skid plates).
