Old Man Emu 2886 Coil Spring

The Old Man Emu 2886 Coil Spring has garnered mixed reviews from customers, highlighting various user experiences regarding installation, performance, and the overall quality of the product. Many users report a noticeable increase in lift, often achieving around 2-2.5 inches, which has improved their vehicle's stance despite some mentioning an adjustment for 'taco lean' using additional components. Those who have paired these springs with OME soft valve struts and rear springs express satisfaction in terms of ride quality and load-bearing capacity, particularly when dealing with heavy aftermarket accessories like bumpers and winches. However, not all feedback is positive. Issues with fitment and quality control have been raised, with some customers receiving coils that sagged significantly or were misrepresented in product labeling. A few users reported that the springs did not provide the expected performance, with one mentioning that the truck rides more like a 1-ton pickup rather than a Tacoma, indicating a harsh driving experience. Additionally, there seems to be a noted decline in the brand's long-standing reputation for quality, with some reviewers expressing disappointment in how Old Man Emu has evolved over the years and stating they might look for alternative brands in the future. In summary, while the Old Man Emu 2886 Coil Spring can deliver substantial lift and improved ride quality for some, inConsistent quality and fit issues appear to overshadow these benefits for others. Potential buyers should weigh these factors carefully, especially if they have specific performance needs. **
