Help me achieve a level stance!

[ajspagna]

Iv got a pair of 8 wrap LC coils with color codes Blue Yellow White & Green Yellow White (see pic below). Im planning on getting the 883 coils for the front with the OME shocks. I want my runner to it as level as possible with little to no rake. So my question is will I also need to get some spacers for the front to make it sit level with the rear or should I be fine with just the 883?

Every vehicle will sit slightly different with the same product, its just how it goes. And no one will be able to solicit valid infomation until the springs are in your Runner. Sorry man....

i'm in your same bought and i bought the spacer just incase, it seems as if i may have to install everything step back and see how it looks then take the fronts off and add the spacers, worst case that's what i have todo best case i don;t need the spacers do the job once and return them for my money back.

sooo yeah there you go, like said above we can't tell you how that's going to sit on your truck, but the chances are your going to need a spacer but it can't be said for certain.

Don't the LC coils give you 4"?? if so you don't want to use spacers to get up to that height you will break stuff when you wheel because it will give you to much down travel.

Try it like izz was saying and see what height you sit at and go from there.

Im talking about putting like a one inch spacer on top of and 883 coil which already gives 3in of lift. Is that ok or am I wrong

Bad news, that's a CV killer among other things. 881s are ok with a spacer, but not 883s (or 882s). If you had 883s and a steel off road bumper, winch and skids you might be able to pull off the small .5" (or whatever it is) top spacer that toytec sells, but 3" is max for our IFS. Also the spacer would pre-load the already stiff 883 which will make for a horribly rough ride with a lot of wheel bounce.

The only way to sit level is to get OME 890s in the back. No LC coil will sit level. My opinion is just get used to the rake. I'll bet it'll grow on you anyways and you'll appreciate the better departure angle if you wheel it.

I know everyone says you can only run 3" of lift on your Runner in the front, that is a misconception.

several of us are running our adjustables higher than that and have wheeled the toughest IFS trails just fine.

anyone thats in Co can run with Glen or Snowrunner, or Steeze or me and see for themselves.

With the 8 wraps you might be able to get it level, the 9 wraps, I have a small amount of rake but I have adjustables and dont know exactly how high they are right now

Thanks for all the replies guys. Once I get the money Im going to get the 883s. I think Ill get used to the little rake I might have. Also wont the springs settle a little over time?

I agree with that as long as you are not running OEM CV/boots.
