5100 with Tundra springs in front, what about REAR? LC 7 or OME 906?!

[Supermoney]

Title says it all, I just purchased 4x 5100 bilstein shocks, and also the Tundra springs for the front.

Now I have the choice of LC 7 wraps (may be too much rake), or OME 906?

I have heard a lot of things on both springs, the only thing I do not like about the LC 7 wraps is them giving too much height in the back and providing a rake, I have heard the OME 906s have very little rake and are almost level.

How do the the OME 906s ride? I don't want the ride to be harsh.

Thank you.

Which 5100s did you get, the Tundras or Tacomas? I had Tundra springs and Tundra 5100s on the 3rd perch with 8 wraps out back and the rake wasn't too bad. I'd go with the 7 wraps, the 906s probably won't be tall enough you might have the dreaded reverse rake

The Tundra 5100s.

Yes I think the LC 7 wraps in the rear would work fine if I set my front to the 3rd perch, for some reason people were leaving it on the 2nd and keeping the rake. I understand it may ride a little harsher in the front going up to the 3rd perch but I believe doing that with the LC 7 wraps I will be pretty close to even, what do you think?

Thanks!

I love my LC coils in the back! I think I have 8's or so? And the rake isn't too crazy at all! So if I am guessing the 7's would be even less!

Oh wow that doesn't look bad at all!

I think the LC 7s would be perfect with even a little bit less rake, thanks for posting that!

On my 2001 4runner I have the (used with 120k miles)TRD tundra coils up front with 5100 billy's on 2nd notch and started out with nearly (23in) 3in lift up front which have settled now an at 22in giving me 2in lift. I have LC 7's in rear and started out with nearly 25in and now have settled at 24.5in so that is giving me a 2.5in rake which is borderline with me. I've considered going to the ome 890 in the rear to level her out some. I'm going to try putting a couple hundred pounds of sand bags in the back to see how much lower she goes and how more stable she gets. She drives well but the rear does seem to be a little loose at times when going over bumps. I'm also getting one of addicted offroad's new plate bumper so I might have to raise the fronts to the 3rd setting to raise her up a little but not sure yet on that. seanxgodfrey i'm curious what are your measurements with your setup?
Hub to fender
Front = 22in
Rear = 24.5in
The passenger side does appear to be a half inch taller.

Why don't you just raise your front to the 3rd notch and level it out?

I did mention that I probably will have to raise it to the 3rd setting. I just wanted to wait a bit till my bumper was done and have it all done at same time. I'm curious what others running the LC 7's lift is at in the rear.

Oh gotcha, if I had that much rake I'd definitely pop it up to the 3rd setting.
