OME Springs

[markls954runner]

If i put OME900 springs and skyjacker 0-2" lift shocks in the rear of a 95 4runner will it raise the back 2" or more than that because of the springs?

This is probably a really stupid question but the im not sure how far the OME springs raise the 4runner and i want to make sure that whatever i put on only raises the rear 2 inches.

The OME springs will raise the rear whatever amount they say they will, and that's compared to when the truck was new, not however it sits now after years of spring sag.

Ok so the springs will raise the truck about 2" past stock i guess, not really sure thats why im asking here.

And back to my main question that i actually need answered, will the combo of shocks and springs raise my runner anymore than just springs?

Help is much appreciated.

Shocks never raise a truck. You will need them to fit the longer spring deflection.
When you order to your OME springs the suitable shocks, it will all fit together.
But you also can run other fabricates, if you enquire which will also be suitable (compare the dimensions).

Ok thank you. So the lift will only come from the springs

Aight! In this case definitive.

Shocks are just dampers, they don't create the lift (except for a few special types).

I found when I rebushed(urethane) the rear control and lateral arms, along with replacing the rear coil springs(Moog 225), it gave two stages of lift. The new factory shocks did not give any. The original bushings were probably quite bad as the new urethane made quite a difference in the trucks stance. It raised again after the new springs were installed.
It's well worth rebuilding the suspension on these trucks as it makes them so nice afterwards.
