Suspension question

[JosiahRafter]

Just got my ome 2885 front coils and bilstein 5100 ride adjustable struts. I'm currently running stock coils, procomp es6000 struts and a strut spacer. What level should I put my new set up to before installing it. Trying to figure out so I don't have to install and remove again and again to get it right. Also have a differential drop kit as well. Waiting for my next check to get some camber adjustable uniball upper control arms. Any input is welcome. I have a 06 4runner sr5 v8.

5100's set at 0. Bottom notch. Your coils already has the lift in them+/- 3".

As already stated, the 5100s should be set at 0 preload because your OME 885 coils will do the lifting. Setting them above 0 isn't recommended as it will add stress, although I think a few people on the forums have done so, at least for a short time. What are you planning for the rear? Those 885s will give you 2.5-3" roughly in the front.

Rear is already lifted with a coil spacer. Stock springs and procomp es9000 shocks. But seems stiffer then the front. Thanks for the info. I like my current ride height just trying to get better quality parts. 1 thing at a time. also my gobi rear ladder will be in tomorrow.

Eventually I will change the rear set up to matching bilstein shocks and toytec coils. Been reading alot that the ome coils are really stiff for rear coils.

Thank everyone for your input. Did the installs today after work. Looks much better and rides a lot better too. Now all I need is an alignment. Pulls slightly to the left. All in all worth every penny.
