Terrible front end rubbing with Toytec OME lift

[WenatcheeSkier]

Hey guys, Newb to 4runners but bought one and tossed a Toytec 3" OME springs on it and my 285 75 16's rub really bad. ( cant pull into a parking spot with out causing a scene)
I couldn't fit the 3/8" aluminum spacer that comes with the spring kit in the front end because the control arms wouldn't drop low enough to fit the new coil in. It sits "raked" like a pickup......not sure how I an get another Inch of lift out of the front.
I'm stumped.

You need to put the spacer in. There are some other threads on here for how to get the assembly back in to place.

And you will most likely need to either trim the pinch weld seam, get the BFH out, or a combo of the two.

Bottle jack trick works great. And with the amount of lift you are using it will help greatly to disconnect the sway bar.

I Kinda figured that. But after pulling everything off but the spindle and Control arms I couldn't get the ***** in. The spindle was hitting the springs. I yelled FU*k so loud I probably woke the neighbors....

Sounds like you need to rotate the springs like in the video.

Where is it rubbing? Did you get aligned?
