OME 890's w/10mm trim packer?

[01PArunner]

If i use the 890's w/trim packers, should I install the panhard bar drop bracket and extended brakelines to be safe?

i personally would do 891's instead. i just installed my LC coils which gave me about 5 inches of lift. i didn't do either the brake line or the panhard drop. i will do both eventually but its not really needed right now especially since you can bend down the tab for the brake line to give some more room

I have the 890's with a 10mm trim packer. I flexed the truck around and was not comfortable with how it pulled on the rear brake line. I like all my vehicles to be ready to do whatever they are capable of doing. I may not go off-road all that often, but when I do the brake line will not be pulled.

if you bend the mounting tab down, it will give the line some more slack. thats what i did and it hasn't stretched the line even fully flexed. i'm not saying it shouldn't be done...its just not a requirement especially for a 2-3 inch lift.

it gave you 5 inches over what you were at... but only 3.5 or so inches of lift
you were sagging

i was at 34 before the lift to the fender and now i am at 39.25. as far as i know, 4runners stock are 34-35 to the fender. that is with 31 inch tires.

plus if i was sagging 1.5 inches. then i should have been at 35.5 before the lift and i am at 36 in the front after the 2 inch lift

Since mine is an 01', I have two brake lines. The earlier models have only one brake line. I'm not sure if I would want to bend the tabs and weaken them.

pretty sure stock was 35-36 to the fender with 31's

so 39 would be a 3-4" lift with the 7 wrap coils which would be right...

not sure about the front... weird...

is there slack if you do bend them?? not sure if the tab even really matters... Ive thought about removing it entirely...
