OME 906 coils
Well I decided to take the plunge and try these instead of my 890s because they are really still a bit high for what I want and too much rake may be affecting my gas mileage (used to get 21 MPG highway, but now I'm in the 18-19 range). These springs would be perfect for people running Tundra springs up front or 881s with spacers, but I just don't want to be that high up front or even have to run a diff drop (CV angles are fine as is) or panhard drop/bar in the rear (with 890s you really should be running one). I was hoping somone would want to swap 906s for 890s but I didn't get much response so I decided to just order a new pair from NWOR (I've heard horror stories about them but I've had good luck thus far....got my other OME stuff there) since it was too much $$$ to have Phil ship them up here from TX. They were in stock when I called so hopefully they'll be here in about a week or so and I can get them installed and well broken in by X-mas.
Right now my truck sits at about....
Front with 881s - 36.25"
Rears with 890s - 37.5"
I am hoping the 906s will be about 36.5" or so after settling, but we'll see.....I'll update this with info/pics after I install. I was planning to run a set of airbags in the rear as well for carrying loads.

I have OME881s up front with no spacers.
If someone had Tundra coils up front with (Bamachem's) 3/8" spacers they would probably sit within 0.5" of level.
I think Tundra coils will give you about 36.75" (on 265/70's) with no spacers (not positive on that though).
The additional 3/8" spacer should give you about another 0.5" on top of that.

How long ago were those put on?
Hope mine will settle about 36.5" to 36.75", but we'll see when I get them on and they settle after a few heavy loads in back. I know I asked Vegaskurt and Localmotion and both of them said they settled to about 36.5" with no load.
Anyone else running 906's and care to give a measurement?

Wow, I'm surprised you're that high in the back still.

Thanks Simon I got it and that would be great if you could post those!
It's nice to finally have a thread with some good baselines for people not looking for 2" of lift or more.

After I made my rear bumper I added a set of the trim spacers to the rear of mine on the 906 coils. It raised it about 1cm. I have been happy ever since. Well... I now regret not getting the comfort shocks.
