I have front (OME883) and rear (OME895E) springs with 5100 miles on them off of my 2011 4Runner. Excellent mild lift combination. Will sell both sets of springs for $175 plus actual shipping. See installed pics here: "http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/79394-my-sr5-build-2.html"

I drive 50% highway, 40% city, and 10% light offroading. My driving also includes 4 months of nasty snow and ice. I am running GY Silent Armorers and think they are perfect for my type of driving conditions. I would definitely purchase them again.

The rear is slightly firmer than stock, but by no means is it harsh or uncomfortable at all. I am running the stock shocks on all corners.

I installed 883 fronts and 895E rears. After settling, I netted 2" all around. The factory rake is still maintained. I think 884 fronts and 895E rears should provide a level truck, with 2.5" in front, and 2" in rear.

The 895E's increased my rear ride height by 2". The 895's are 15mm taller. I am very, vey pleased with the ride, even with the stock shocks.

What size of tires do you want to run? How important is ride quality? I installed the OME 883 front springs and 895E rear springs and used factory struts / shocks. Plenty of clearance for 275/70/17's and I'm sure 285/70/17 would fit too. Great ride, just slightly firmer than the stock SR5...

The rear seems to have settled just a little and decreased the rake. Overall, after 2 weeks, I'm still very happy with my choice.

It raised the front about 1.5" and the rear about 1.75". I ordered the springs from Wheeler's Offroad. The ride is still very comfortable, with just a slight increase in firmness in the rear. The rear spring rate increased from 150lbs to 260lbs. I also do not notice the brake dive near as...

OME 883 front & OME 895E rear with factory shocks / struts. P275/70/17 Goodyear Silent Armors.

I did have it aligned after the spring install and the tech said it easily adjusted to within factory specs. Prior to the lift, my factory rake was 1.0" measured to the fender lips. Afterwards, rake is 1.5". I think the 884 springs might have been a better choice. ARB said the 884's are the...

Here are a few pics....

I ordered everything from Wheeler's Offroad. They were a great bunch of guys to work with and when I called ARB for spring specs, the ARB tech mentioned that Wheeler's really knows their suspensions. The stock shocks work just fine for me. I was told by the ARB tech that I could gain some...

I had my springs installed yesterday. The 883's upfront netted 1.5" - 1.75" and the rear 895E's netted 1.75". Overall, extremely happy. The brake dive is no longer noticable and the body sway is much less. Vehicle feels much more stable when entering and exiting off-ramps at higher speeds...

After talking to the guys at Wheeler's Offroad and ARB USA today, I changed my build plans and decided to go with OME 883's up front with stock shocks, and 895E's in the rear with stock shocks. ARB said that their new shocks and struts are valved differently than their old Nitrocharger shocks...

For my subtle lift, I ordered 5100's for the front and OME895E springs for the rear of my 2011 SR5. Going to set the front at 1.75" and the rear springs should net 1-1.5". I'll post pics as soon as its together. I'm running P275/70/17 Silent Armors.
