rear spacers with OME 881 coils, anyone?

[Jc12]

Hey guys, i put my lift in on saturday and got aligned today, as soon as i put the lift in i noticed it sat with a little rake (higher in front). I have the 891's in the rear and the 883's in the front. I literally removed everything from the back (including spare) and it just sits even. As soon as someone is in the back or i put my speaker back there it is lower.. i did not expect this despite the fact i bought the lighter load springs. I want to add about 1" to the rear, it looks like i can only find spacers which come in 1.5". Total noob question but as i have never used spacer i am curious, do these mount on top of the rubber boot (on the top of the coil) or do you put the spacer on the coil directly then put the boot on top?

Has anyone seen these available in 1", IMO the panhard drop isn't absolutely necessary with a 3" but pushing 4.5 looks like i would need it.. plus it looks like it will be a bi*** to install as i sweated enough prying these into place without the extra 1.5", thanks for any help guys!

do you mean 891s in the rear? i've seen some members running 3" lift coils + 1.5" spacers. it will work as long as your rear shocks allow for it. also you want to be sure your brake lines are long enough as well.

oops haha yes 891 thanks. I had 7.5 wraps in my other t4r and i didn't need to extend the brake lines etc, although i didnt do a panhard drop and after wheeling one day i had sheered (maybe just loosened cant remember) the nut off the panhard bar bolt and it came loose.

any reason i can't cut the spacers to 3/4" ?

thanks!

anyone have experience cutting spacers down to a smaller size? thanks

I don't see why you can't cut them down. Why don't you just run 2x of the yellow 10mm OME spacers?

haha you are a genius i initially ruled out the 10mm spacers as i thought you could only use one but my dumbass saw you can stack them, i am going to order 4 tomorrow, thanks!
