1" spacer for rear

Last spring, i installed OME springs into my 98 4runner. I have a 4 cyl but used ones called for a 6 cyl. I now have a little bit of negative rake. I wanted to get some 1" or so spacers for the rear springs, but don't know where to get them.

Where's the best place to get a set?

http://www.cornfedsuspension.com or daystar makes 1.5" or I just added some 10mm OME trim packers to some stock bump cones + my existing OME 890's and got around 3/4" additional. For a spacer you're looking at $100, and for the trim packers/stock bump it's around $30.

A spacer made by ARB/Old Man Emu. The first picture shows a 1" Cornfed Aluminum Spacer on the left and a 10mm Trim Packer (yellow) on the right. The second picture shows the Trim Packer mounted on a coil.

OME has two trim packers.

OME80PF05 - 5mm
OME80PF10 - 10mm

Remember that there are 25mm per inch. That would make the 5mm TP ~3/16" and the 10mm ~3/8".

Since the rear coils are on a solid axle, you will only get the lift of the spacer. Unlike IFS where the spring is inboard on an A arm and you will get more lift from a spacer.

And OME 890's should lift ~2.5" and 891's ~3" (depending on the year)

Well, according to my receipt, i installed OME906s and OME881s in my 4 cyl 4runner.

Its been a little less than a year, and i want it to sit level, if not a little raised in the rear.

It rides 100 times better than it did with the factory stuff. Put Trekmasters in while i had it apart.

Any suggestions?

Oh, i forgot-

My memory is failing me right now and searching isn't making my headache any better...

I remember hearing about PP products, including spacers. But I can't for the life of me remember what "PP" stood for and where to get those parts.

Any help on that info?
Thanks- i do appreciate it.

890s will give you ~1" over the 906s that you have.

PP usualy stands for Performance Products.

I used these. I didn't want to spend much as I will replace the whole thing with a full suspention lift as soon as I can afford it.

"PP" Stands for Performance Products. Performance Products started life as a supplier of Porsche accessories, branched into Toyota specific accessories then later other trucks & SUVs. PP had custom 1" lift progressive rate springs made by HK in Germany. About 1-2 years ago PP were purchased by 4Wheel Parts & the PP springs were discontinued. I got one of the last sets available.

im running the cornfed 1" spacer w/ ome 891. its about 3.25" lift on my '99

imo, dont bother with trim packers for lift, they just squished down. i tried 2 10mm ones b4.
