OME trim packers?

G.I.G.

I've searched this forum and others, but am not finding much info on the Old Man Emu trim packers or people who are using them.

I installed my OME suspension lift about 5 years ago. OME doesn't make (or at least they didn't at the time) driver side specific springs, which is why they offer the trim packers to account for driver's side lean. While my 4Runner sat level at first, now that my suspension has settled over the years, I am experiencing some driver's side lean. About 3/4" to 1" (or sometimes more) depending on where I am parked.

I'm wondering if anyone is using the OME trim packers and if so, are you using just the front, the rear, or both? If so, what results did you notice? I'm thinking of installing the rear first (to account for the gas tank) and possibly the front if I don't get the results I'm looking for with just the rear. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

I am running 883 and 895E springs. I do have the trim up front. It has me within 1/4" driver to passenger side both front and back. I did purchase a rear 10mm spacer just in case I needed it but have not put it in.

Cool. Good to know. There seems to be a bigger difference on my 4Runner between the driver and passenger side in the rear than there is on the front, so I'll probably end up doing both. I was also thinking about doing a gas tank skid at some point which will put even more weight on the driver's side. If I can get the driver and passenger side within about a 1/2" of each other, I think my OCD will be satisfied. :)
 
Let me know how it works out. I originally ran 884s up front and had a good amount of reverse rake but my wheel wells were equal at 22.75" and 23" hub to wheel well.
After talking with ARB installed the 883s. Made my measurements right at 22 and 23 F & R DS. There must be a little optical illusion going on because my steps are still 1/4" lower in the back which gives the impression of small reverse rake Wish I could ditch them but I have shorties that need the step. I am curious what your numbers will be.
