No spacers in the front. 265/70/16 tires. I'm gonna give it a little time and see if it will settle some. I will get spacers for the front if the rear does not settle.
Wtf..Why so much lift?

The cones are only ~1/4" thick so taking them out isn't going to be a big difference on your lift height. Lots of people run without them. But when I did, I could hear my coils rattling around down there and it was annoying so I put my cones back in. YMMV.
The cones are useless as bump stops with lift coils. The coil will compress and you'll hit the bump on the frame before the cone will do anything.

Well I just got back from driving about 300 miles. About 20 of it was off road/washboard and the rest hwy. Although the redonklious rake still bothers me, The ride quality on and off road is awesome. I've got 2" leveling spacers for the front coming and that should eliminate most of the rake.

Ok a little update..I just went out and took another measurement.
LF= 37"
RF=37.5"
LR= 40"
RR= 39.5"
So it looks like it settled a bit. It's not leveled, But I can live with that.
I have 2" leveling kit for the front coming anyways, So that should get it pretty close to leveled. Hoping I don't get a full 2" from the leveling kit.
1.5"-1.75" would be make me happy.

I have similar LC coils & OME 3" lift springs up front. I have similar lift in the rear but maybe +.5" to 1" up front. It's raked but I like it & the ride is great. I used a set of Rancho 5000's. Fronts for the 4cyl 4runner & rears for a landcruisr.
To solve you're problem you can get different springs for front or just upgrade the front shocks to the bilsteins sold by toytec that allow the adjustable lift.

I have a feeling if you put 2" spacers on top of Tundra coils, you are going to have bigger issues than your rake - like lots of busted CVs.

LOL. NO NO..I'm not putting a 2" spacer. It's a spacer that is suppose to give me 2" of lift. The spacer itself is 1"..

Yeah, that's what I was talking about. 2" of lift on top of your Tundra coils is not a good idea.

Yea the spacer thing was just one of those quick fix deal. I don't think I will actually use them if it actually gives me 2" more lift once I put them on. If the rears continue to settle, then I definitely will not be using the spacer.
Thanks for the heads up..

Ok. I looked back over my install info. Before -&- After floor to bottom of fender flare
LF 37" -&- now 37.6"
RF 36.75" -&- now 37.6"
LR 36.25" -&- now 39.6"
RR 36" -&- now 39.5"
Pretty similar numbers except I I have the LTD flares and it looks like you have non-flared. So my meausrements should be a touch shorter than yours which makes senses since I have the OME 883's and slightly more wraps on the LC coils. I think we have the same rake. I really like mine. Once I got a full size spare under there it dropped a half inch. I'll be towning a motorcycle next month back and forth to the track & shop so that will help speed the settling a bit. I like the rake and love the way it rides.
