Post OME install...pics, newb needs adivice
I have had this set up for about a year now. Right now my 4-Runner sits at a rake. Current set up:
OME881/N91SC, OME890/N85
This is what I am ultimately trying to accomplish:
A)Level the front out
B)285/75's
C)ARB bumper
I need advice/recommendations on what I need to do in order to level the front out.....what size spacer....if I decide to install the bumper....and if I decide to wait a while. Here are the difference in measurements from top of tire to bottom of wheel well.
Front: 5/12in
Rear: 7 in

I've never dealt with OME front coils (only rear 891's) but I believe I have read in the past that OME front coils usually sag, especially with a heavier bumper. Someone that has them should chime in to correct me if I am wrong.
Alot of guys had this set up ... OME 891's and Tundra coils on the front with sometimes a top out spacer. There are plenty of write ups concerning this set up and it seems to be a popular one.
Best of luck..you have a nice ride.
P.S. just be aware of your front CV angles. Probally right now they are OK with your current set up. Once you add a spacer, or a few top out spacers you will begin to challange that angle. Diff drop kit is a must.

Thanks ROOFGOOF. I bought a diff drop at the same time when I bought the shocks, just really haven't had to use it yet. I'll prolly install new axel boots when the spacers/diff drop go on, since these boots are still stock.
