I have OME 885's on the way with superflexes going in the rear. Any of you V6 guys add the top spacer? I'm looking for a level stance rather than a rake. Will the top spacer make it higher than the rear without armor/weight in the frony? Will 885's alone be level? Lemme know what y'all think!

Thanks!

No personal experience with the v6, but I got 3" with the 885's and a v8. I'd expect 3.5"+ with the v6, you should not need the top plate spacer to level it out.
 
BUMP!

V6 - 2009 - SR5

I also have 885's and 5100s for the front ready to install once I get my UCAs. Not too worried about getting extra lift from a spacer but wondering how many of you added the driver side spacer to correct lean.

For those of you that didn't add a spacer, do you wish you had? is it that noticeable?

Add rear spacer to correct the lean, 5100's are already at about the longest total shock length you would want to prevent CV binding. I was able to get away with a very thin top plate spacer on the driver side on mine when I had that setup but it didn't fix the lean completely.

Interesting. I'd be going with a 0 on the 5100s.

How noticeable is the lean? I don't think I'd be someone who would be super picky about it but I figured I'd address the issue as i'm swapping out the suspension.

Yes don't ever go above 0 with 885's (or any 2-3" lift springs for that matter) on 5100s. Plenty of softroaders blew them up that way and got no warranty. I only noticed the lean because I'm particular and measured, and measured, and measured. If I never read the forums I'd probably never know! haha
