is this a good idea for a lift ?

[alex56]

let me get some feedback on this...or anyone run anything similar?


Bilstien hight adjustable shocks, set all the way up @ 2.5" and a toytec 1/4" top out spacer for full 3" of lift up front...

Rear OME 895 for 2-2 1/2 inches of lift

-thanks

I am not to sure, but from what I hear the spacers will make for a rough ride.
I am going to put a 3 or 4 " lift kit on mine.
Here is what I am thinking about using:

IMHO that will give you a slightly mismatched ride. The OE springs are so soft and the 895's are pretty stiff. It's certainly an economic approach but I'm not sure I'd want the OE springs in the mix.

A cheap set of FJ springs would be a better match IMHO (sans top-spacers). Another choice is to watch the T120 and FJC boards for someone selling some OME 884's. A fresh set of Bilsteins and some 884's would be pretty nice IMHO. (Non-adjustable would be cheaper. If you used adjustables do the lowest setting.)

Sometimes guys upgrade from an OME set-up to coilover.

Plus, we don't recommend the use of the top plate spacer with the 5100's.
Could lead to over extension of your CV's or Ball Joints.
