Help with lift

[Fizban]

So here´s the problem i currently have a 4runner 3rd gen with a ARB bumper and just added the suspension both front and rear. So i did a little research just in case the guy who sold them to me wasnt lying thou i ended up a bit confused since i read the write up that steez made and it says ;

Front options are:
880 1" lift coil for stock weight.
881 2.5" lift coil for stock weight.
883 3" lift coil designed for 100 lbs. additional front weight.
882 3" lift coil designed for 150+ lbs additional front weight.
A top plate spacer can be combined with the 881 coil for a full 3" lift

for the rear you can choose from:
906 2" lift coil
890 3" lift coil
891 3" lift coil designed for additional weight.

The guy who sold the things to me told me there where only hard medium and soft options so he told me he put the hard on front and the medium in the rear , thou this worried me since the front seems more lifted than the back . The coils he used are 2881 for the front ( which he said was the hard one which he said was for additional weight) and for the back the 2906 ( which he declares are the medium ones)


However, i went on and did a little more research and read the application guide ARB usa has on its website which is in the attachment and says

HEAVY LOAD (330LBS TO GVW) SPRING 2.0" 1 2906
HEAVY LOAD (110-240LBS) SPRING 1.25" 1 2881

So i ended up even more confused since the other springs steeze listed werent listed on the ARB application guide and well even if i followed what the guide says it doesnt make any sence since my back is lower than the front and supposedly the front spring would only give me 1.25" and the back should give me 2" but it doesnt look like it at all. Could someone help me out here??

Thanks

So you already purchased the OME coils and installed them right? Are you not happy with the ride height?

i'm in the same boat as you with the 881/906 combo. i bought everything from wheelers and their website says the 881 provides 1.5″-1.75″ lift and the 906 provide approx 2" of lift for a 4runner. my front is 36 1/2 inches and my rear is 37 inches (measuring from the middle of the wheel, from the ground to the edge of the flare) i measure it everyday.

a member here said i would probably have a reverse rake when my springs settle in. i hope not. lift has been on for a month now and i love the way it sits.

Well i do like how it feels and everything since my old suspension was 13 years old and was sagged and depleted. However , i kinda get the feeling that my front is higher than my rear and from what the specs say it shouldnt be like that , am i wrong ? plus i have an arb bumper that should make my front a bit less high. Dont get me wrong i do like it but when i read the guide steeze made and read arb´s fitting guide i didnt understand what was happening i mean are the other springs mentioned for other vehicles or what? plus i wanted some1 to tell me its kinda normal the first days my front is higher than the rear and that it will drop a little bit. So i still need some more input please , i know i can go to the guy and ask him to change the coils so that not a problem but i wanted to know a bit more about everything

Well it can take a few weeks (depending on how much you drive) for coils to go through their break-in period, and settle to their normal ride height.

Thanks once again
