Misjudged lift heights

[HCWatson997]

So I have OME 884 springs and T12 springs sitting in my room. I thought they would be perfect and did a ton of research but come to find out, I see that the 884’s will put me at 38” fender height with 265/70’s and the T12’s will put me at 38.5” in the rear. I want just a little more rake for a better stance

1) try to exchange 884’s for T1’s

2) try to exchange T12’s for Superflex

3) get a 1.5 daystar for driver side rear and use a 10mm packer on passenger rear

4) leave as is...”it’ll be fine”

What is the problem? Need more info that what you have provided, not sure what you're trying to figure out. BTW, never measure fender to ground. You measure fender to center of hub with the full weight of the truck on the suspension.

fender to the center of hub is exact measurement . the fender to ground is a good approx check but not exact..

Yeah, I know but I figured out that Momo used 884 fronts on his 2WD V8 I have the same) and he only used ground to fender so that’s the only comparison I had. I really just want a little more of a rake but nothing too crazy. Right now I have a front spacer in that has it at 21” hub to fender all around. Either getting shorter coils up front or taller in the rear is what I’m really looking at to correct the stance

Yeah, I know, check my last message above. It was just a lack of info on threads I found

90% of these posts on this forum are lift/lift/lift.... then few post back on how it all worked out..

so many posts about lifts takes a lot of time to figure out whats the solution to your need..

I paired 883's with my T12's and the rake is perfect.

What shocks are you going to use? Do they have adjustable perch height?

Yeah but I have a 2WD V8 so idk how the weight up front compared to a 4x4, either V6 or V8 so I’ll probably be even higher with the 884’s on mine compared to a 4x4

I have Bilstein 5100’s already in my possession and really want to avoid using the perches...also will not use stock springs cause mine are sagged out

Understand. Do you want to end up with 2ish inches or 3inches of lift? Get 883's if you don't want to go that high. Or taller rear springs (icon, toytec) to raise the rear.

Trying to go for 3” (+/-) I might see how things level out and possibly order a 1” rear cornfed to put on driver rear and use my 10mm packer on passenger rear. I’m trying to avoid paying a lot more and deal with shipping and such since I’m so far from Wheelers

How is the SPC UCA...? I’ve heard mixed opinions lately

I've had good luck with them, have them on all 3 my vehicles. The ones on my 4runner are 5 years old with 80,000+ miles on them are are working great.
They've updated them again recently, so if you get them make sure you get the latest with "xAxis bushings"

Do you mind sending your center hub to fender measurements?

If I end up needing aftermarket UCA’s cause my alignment is ridiculously out of spec, I’ve decided on the SPC or JBA, but I’m cautious about the SPC

V6 or V8?

V6

There's a 75lb curb weight difference between 4wd V6 (4300) and 2wd V8 (4225)

So I’ll probably be up 1”-1.5” with the 884’s over you then? Sound about right?
