85 PICKUP

The back doesnt look too high considering your running 265/75's, the front sits too low. You should have way more clearance up front with that size of tire.

I didnt compare the heights of the spring perches on the OME and stock, but I have in the past on Honda's that I lowered. One specifically I installed Tokicos on and the spring perch was actually lower providing some additional drop.

You could always contact ARB and inquire, but I am sure they will tell you to get some new OME struts.

Dont mean to sound like an A-hole, but over the years I have learned to do things right the first time. If it costs too much, I wait until I have the funds. Otherwise you spend more time and money to try and make it right later on.

I agree that the front looks too low for that tire size and that lift. I don't think your an A-hole, and to be honest, that's exactly why I went with springs all the way around and not spacers up front. I was trying to do it right but I guess stuff happens.

@Ron- My apologies, I do mean rake as in the front being lower than the rear. I know it isn't a lot but just don't prefer having it. That is why I bought the top plates with the springs, hoping it would sit level. I will try and post some pics later today of the rear for you all to see. I will also post data for the fender heights. And yes, that is a level surface, and I have tested it out on other surfaces too...the rake doesn't change.

As far as the springs not being truly OME....you would have to ask Toytec. I picked them up directly from their shop and they "re-packaged" the springs to include the top plates. There were no markings on the springs except for the front, which specified what side the go on (A for driver's side, B for passenger). They were in an OME box but it had been opened to add the top plates. I really don't think that is the issue. Toytec has a pretty good rep. and I would hate to go down that road.

The ride is great but i am not comparing it to a stock ride so I don't know if they are 891s. The previous owner had some ridiculously stiff springs in the rear so it road like hell before the lift. They weren't any taller than stock, just really stiff.

take the cone bump stops out............... it takes less than 30 minutes

brian2sun

Yeah, he didn't respond to me when I suggested that earlier so.. ???

Yota Runner

I third that as my previous post stated....remove the cones in the rear coil

atokin

...... and i'll buy them off of ya cause i dont have any and i need the rake...

Sorry guys, had to work all weekend...My only concern with removing the cones is what does that do when one side is compressed all the way and there is no cone to stop the axle hitting something? I assume they serve some sort of purpose right?

Plus, as I said before, I want the front higher, not the back lower...more lift=happier me

mjwalfredo

The cones just add a little more cusion before the bump stops actually hit the axle. With your new springs, they probably aren't even needed.

i know from installing my lift that the ome front shocks have more travel than the stockers. could your shocks be limiting the lift?

mswenso1

They def. could be limiting the lift...need to wait for more money to learn if that is the case....have to buy a radiator first
