??? Daystar 1" lift w/ OME Ft Struts

[raleighrunner]

Bit the bullet on a full OME set up for my 2002 4Runner 4WD Limited w/ 88k. Installed the rears today and having the front struts assembled tomorrow. I also have a Daystar 1 inch lift kit spacer thing. Here are my Questions: 1-Will the Daystar lifts negatively impact the ride quality? 2-Can I install the Daystar after getting the loaded Struts back from mechanic shop or will they need them to assemble? Thanks in advance for any advice.

What is a "full OME setup"?
What coils are they?
Why do you want to add the spacers?
If it is a 1" spacer, I doubt that you can use them. Some front spacers mount inside the coil/shock assembly and some mount on top. If it mounts inside, it would need to be built on the shock. If it mounts on top, then you need to replace the top studs for longer ones which requires the top to be off. Again I would stress, don't use spacers with taller coils. If you want more lift, get taller coils. Also the spacers that mount on top will allow fro excessive wheel droop and can cause CV damage or the CV to pull apart.

Especially if the OME setup is new, get the right coils to get the lift you want.

Sorry. Full OME set up meaning new coils and shocks.
OME Nitrocharger Shocks (N86C)
OME Nitrocharger Sport Struts (90004)
OME Coil Spring (OME2880)
OME Coil Spring (OME2906)

Was hoping spacers would level the runner.

you will likely have a reverse rake if you run that spacer in the front setup with 906's in the rear. The 880's with a 3/8" top plate spacer will be close to level....that daystar is too much.

If you are trying to make things level by using the spacers, I would suggest driving with the coil setup alone for a while and let things settle. It may take 6 months depending on how you drive. Wheeling/flexing it will help the settle. The rears tend to settle more than the fronts. After things settle then figure what might be needed. As said, maybe just a thin spacer which aren't too bad.
