what to match OME 906 with?

[Jc12]

Hey everyone - i promise i have read literally every single thread regarding 4runner lifts (and have lifted 2 of my previous ones) but cannot find a solid answer on what to match the OME 906 (1.75"-2") of rear lift with. The thing is i will be reusing my stock (new) springs on the front so i am looking at the variety of bilstein 5100's .. there are the tacoma ones, tundra ones and then the D558 (link: Bilstein 5100 Height Adjustable Front Strut Set D558)

So the main question is how much lift can you achieve (i am looking for 1.75" and willing to use a top out spacer) from each of the 3 shocks? Every thread tells me something different for each of the adjustable settings so i am hoping for some real life experience with stock springs up front.

Thanks guys i appreciate the help and sorry for another lift question.. hopefully it might help someone down the road wondering the same thing.

I'm planning on matching a set of OME 906 coils with Tundra Coils. Speedy had a thread that goes into the details:

If you're aiming for a 2" lift, doesn't seem like you can go wrong there.

Don't know about the shocks but I had 99 tall springs on mine and it sat great.

thanks for the replies, he uses tundra coils as well so the notches won't align with what ill get out of stock springs. Anyone used any of these shocks with stock springs.. trying to figure out what each perch will net me, thanks

it looks like i will be doing the 906 in the rear then the bilstein 5100 (product number D558) on the second perch with a 1/4" top out spacer

how much lift did you get in the front? 881's advertise 1.75" ish and the lowest perch should be factory height if you had stock springs so did you end up right around 1.75"? thanks!

just went and measured I am sitting at ~22" front and ~23"Rear (it could partially be the weight of my 4cyl the v6 will be probably be lower)

also forgot to mention I have one 10mm trimpacker on each 906

If you use the 5100s with stock springs in the front, set them on the second perch. You will get about 1/2", maybe a bit more. See how you like that. If you need to, raise the perch up one more spot.
I think these trucks look great with up to 1" of rake....noticeable but not bad looking at all.
