Ordered the OME lift from Toytec with the 1/4" spacers, thoughts?

So I recently ordered the OME lift from Toytec and got the following:
881's front
890's rear
shocks
diff drop
and the 1/4" top plate spacers for the front which are said to provide a half inch of lift. Anyone else gone this route? In theory it should provide 2.75"s of lift in the front vs the 3"s which the majority of the folks order. I dont mind a slight amount of rake, but dont want it to be extreme.

Is this still going to have too much rake, or should it be okay?

The shop I ordered all this through was way cool. Got me a great price on everything and offered to assemble the coils for no charge.

They said if I wanted the entire lift installed it would be $200, but I need some wrench time as its been awhile.

I think with the 881's and the spacer it should put the lift pretty close to level with those 890's that you'll have in back. It's been a while since I researched the different lift amounts when I was looking for mine (882, LC's)

That will look good. Your rake (if any) won't be much. $200 is actually a very fair price for installation of the whole lift, but I recommend DIY like you were thinking just because it's good to learn how the suspension works so you can fix it if it breaks on the trail. I'm of the opinion that if you can't install the lift yourself, you probably shouldn't lift it at all because wheeling and wrenching sort of go hand in hand.

I have the 881s w/ the top plate spacer and 890s in the back. It sits almost perfectly level.....less than 1/4" difference between the fronts and rear (i think depending on how much gas i have). Here's a pic:

Well, it looks like a lot of people are running the 881's with the 3/4" spacer vs the 1/2" one. I actually couldnt find any info on the 1/2" spacer other than leveling the vehicle from side to side. I guess it will be the same except a 1/4" lower which shouldnt be that noticable.

Yea, I've installed a fair amount of lifts but most of those have been SFA Toyotas and Cherokees. The only IFS rig's I have done was a unibody Pathfinder and my previous Frontier which I installed a spacer leveling kit. I assume this will be pretty close the how the install went on the Pathfinder. I actually assembled my own coils on that one with a sh*tty spring compressor from HF, scary...

Been there and done that too.. never again.
