OME Trim Packers, worthless.

[WEAK_E90]

like shrub said - everyones rides are different. My toytec rear springs have me around 25" (which they were puzzled how I got that) center of wheel to fender where everyone else got 24"ish

What did the icon springs get you to for the rear?

So I should not install my OME heavy springs 3 inch lift being stock weight? I have 1 packer to install in the rear incase there is a little lean. This OME lift is a temp lift until I get a incon level 1 or 2.

Why even both if its coming back out? Unless its going to be one of those temp to possibly permanent things.

To the tire comment. HUB to fender excludes the tire there brochacho. I can only give people top of rim to fender due to the "dish" of my wheels I cant locate center really well (just add 1/2 wheel dimension).

Sure you can. Measure your overall rim diameter, lip to lip. Then measure from the bottom lip closest to the ground up to your fender edge, and remove half of your specific rim diameter, and you have a perfect hub to center measurement, excluding wheel and tire size.

It's easier for people to do this and get a more exactly hub to fender measurement, since almost everyone's aftermarket wheels and tires are dished inwards and the center of the hub isn't easy to find.

Plus, people get picky and fussy so easily over 1/4" of lean, so who is to say it was measured equally to start with?

I will say the OME trim packers literally did nothing which still blows my mind. Even after removing them and driving around so the suspension would settle, I still had the same measurement.

They wouldn't do anything if your struts were maxed out at full lift, running maximum height.

It's too late now, but you could have checked if you had any down travel (droop) left at your settings before, and if there was none, adding 1" spacers wouldn't have added any height if the struts were at full extension already.


You don't have KDSS, do you?

With the Icon rear springs I am at 24 3/8

Because the lift is brand new sitting in my garage and I have no need for the icon lift right at this moment.

24” passenger. 23.5 Driver. At a little less than half a tank. ICON recommended doing all adjusting with half a tank. But I’m assuming when I fill it up it’s just gonna squat. Really just poor design on Toyota’s part. a stock tire carrier and put the tank in the center/rear! Prob solved!

Yea I realized that after talking with ICON, helped me understand geometry a little better. But still, even after dropping the preload quite a bit, it stayed at 23.5. Once I removed the packers.... still 23.5. I’m well under max on the passenger side.

No KDSS.

You made it sound like the Icon was a guarantee. Now it doesn't.

Sounds more like one of those temporary/permanent things.
