What you're referring to is rake. Nothing installed wrong just the nature of suspension. It will slightly decrease with time as the springs settle. When I first did my TRD/Dobinsons lift, I had maybe 2-2.5" of rake, but now it's been a few months and I probably have around 1.5" now. At first I [[U[hated[/U] it, but now I absolutely love how it looks now that it's a little less - adds a very aggressive look. If I'm not mistaken, these cars had 0.5" of (positive) rake from the factory

He said OME 890x. If you or anybody is curious what the X designation means, I asked them a while ago and they told me that any X coils are new production and use a different+stronger steel than before. I suspect it's to help address pre-maturely sagging like they've had in recent years.

It went pretty smooth and quick the other night getting them out and now the rear is 3". In the front it is not 3" lift but more so 2.5" with the 883s. From what I'm hearing I should be good without extensions? I will be offroad

I would ask Sonoran Steel. Chances are they've been asked your exact question 100 times before, and they'll order daystar's that are built to your shock's specifications. Plus once you get Daystars, the cones can come out which should give you another -0.5" lower. Also super easy to install
