suspension & ride height...

My 04 tacoma is currently sitting 2 inches lower in the front than rear. I've got 3 inch All-Pro rear leafs, 1/2 inch thick relocation plates, Walker-Evans rear shocks, OME 881 frt springs, OME frt struts (firm valve), All-Pro 1 inch polyurethane spacers, All-Pro frt upper control arms, etc.

I am wondering if it would be okay to install OME 882 frt coils (20mm longer) in place of my OME 881 coils?

I also have a 1 inch Daystar body-lift that I have yet to install to help with some clearance issues in the front.

The tires I am running are 285/75R-16 Cooper STT on 4 inch backspace Pro-Comp Rock-Krawler wheels.

All opinions are good and any help is great. Thanks.

You can replace the 881s with 882s, but you probably won't be able to run the All-Pro 1" spacers still or your CVs will be suffering. In other words, you may gain 20mm with the new coils, but w/o the spacer, you'll lose an inch so it might do nothing for your ride height. Plus without extra weight from a winch and bumper, it will ride very stiff with the 882s.

I've got an all-pro diff-drop kit, ARB bumper, Warn XD 9000 winch and Bud-Built skid plates on the front of the truck. I figured that with the diff-drop kit I would be okay with 882s and the all-pro spacers.

Yeah, you'll probably be ok then.
