More lift ?

[stlfan]

Hey guys. I got the 883 OME coils with Tundra shocks in the front and 891's in the rear. The 891's gave me about 4" and the 883's about 3". I want to level it out by adding an inch to the front. Will spacers work on OME coils?
:thanks:

The 891's will settle a smudge, maybe 1/4"...especially depending on the loads you carry. I assume you got 891's because you load it up often.

For the front, you can use some top out spacers with the 883's, however:

-A 1" spacer will give you nearly 1.5" of lift. A 1/4" spacer will give you about 1/2" of lift.

-If you are going to wheel it, using top out spacers in the front is a real good way to tear up your CV's. Because you effectively lengthen the shock, and you get more droop than the CV's can handle. I don't think you're going to wheel it hardcore though, based on your geographic location. Like me.

Give the rear a little time to settle. Wheel it and flex those coils. That will speed up the settle time.

If it bothers you that much I have a Toytec top plate spacer for sale. It is the 1/2 inch spacer that yields one inch lift. PM if interested.

Like Gerdo said, let it settle. You can add top plates later, but if you carry a heavy load and/or wheel a lot, you might even end up needing trim packers in the rear to lift it back up (like I did with my 891s after about a year). I ended up selling the 891s and getting 861s (and Gerdo just did too). Even my 861s went down ~.5" since I got them a almost a year ago. J-money's 891s are saggy as hell now too after wheeling on them 100xs and he has two 10mm trim packers on top of each rear coil.

Thanks bro. I thought about getting the 1/4 tpc to level my left to right on the front. Drivers side is 1/2" lower than the pass side. Are you on mo4wd.com yet?

Yeah I didn't think of that. She hasn't seen anything but asphalt since the lift.

I wouldn't lift the front end up anymore. You'll use up all your downtravel, put strain on the CV's, Tie Rods, and ball joints. Its not worth it!
