LC 8 wrap question which combo......?

So, I am currently running the 890s w/5125s in the rear and I'm looking for a little more lift plus a softer ride. I don't mind the A Team rake at all.

I have some drivers side lean so, i had to put a trim packer on the d-side. Thinking about doing LC 8 wraps. What combo do I want to use?

This is what I was thinking......
Drivers side - 20.25" Blue Yellow White 8.75 wraps-one of these is a confirmed LX450
Pass side -19.5" Green Yellow White 8.25 wraps-one of these is a confirmed LX450

Does anyone recommend a different combo?

7 wrap is about 3-3.5" of lift
8 is about 4"
9 is about 5"

Height of spring/color code/wraps
21" Blue Pink White 9.25 wraps
21" Grey Orange White 9.25 wraps
20.25" Blue Yellow White 8.75 wraps-one of these is a confirmed LX450
19.5" Green Yellow White 8.25 wraps-one of these is a confirmed LX450
19.5" Purple Green White 8 wraps
19.25" Double Purple Dark Blue White 8 wraps
19" Double Pink Light Blue White 7.5 wraps
18.5" Double Pink Grey White 7.5 wraps
18 7/8" Orange Orange White 7.75 wraps

I run:
19.25" Double Purple Dark Blue White 8 wraps
19" Double Pink Light Blue White 7.5 wraps

I run eibach fronts with tundra bilsteins on the first notch and a toytec 1/4 inch spacer and my rear sits about 1.5 inches higher. Awesome smooth ride though, lots of flex too!
 
my set up is
19.5" Purple Green White 8 wraps
19.25" Double Purple Dark Blue White 8 wraps
with bilstein 5150's

i have tundra struts ready to go in and an unidentifiable set of OME struts currently. about an inch of rake but not bad... i love the ride with the bilsteins.
 
is .25" enouogh to compensate for the drivers side lean with these coils?

Cause if I go the set-up below, then I'm at a .75" difference between the two sides?? Too much?
Can I use a trim packer to compensate?

Just a little info I found on the hours of searching I did for mine. The two you have listed for the LX450 are softer coils. Everyone said they aren't as stiff as the ones in the FJ80s. Basically they wanted a softer ride for the Lexus, being a luxury SUV. They may be a bit too bouncy is what I took from it.
I went with the purple green white, double purple light blue white being I'm planning on a rear bumper with tire carrier.

Good to know!
Since I personally think the 890s are little too stiff and some saying the LX's maybe too soft. Then here is what I ordered. I figure if I don't like one set, then I'll swap them out. Better to have options. Should have both sets by Friday.

Picked up both sets today!
I was even tempted to grab the 9 wraps for the hell of it, but decided not to.
If the weather is good, I'll install the LX coils this weekend to test them out.

Sweet! Let us know how the LX coils ride and how much height you get out of them. I am interested to see how you like them.
