Hey man,

I have cornfed's front and rear. I got the 1.5" front confeds, and 2.5" rear cornfeds. I'm also running the Revtek 1/4" top extender spacer, which provides another 1/2" of lift up front. I've got a 1997 4runner, and the rear sits a half in higher, which is exactly what I wanted. When loaded it sits level until I really load it down. The spacers are really good quality. The rear install is really easy, and the front is a pain in the butt, because you have to compress the springs.

I don't have my writeup done yet on my lift install, but I do have some pics.

Chris

This is a pic of the front spacer installed:


This is a pic of the shock cover not fitting on the OME N91S shocks:


This is a pic of the adjusted shock cover fitting well with the cornfed spacer. You'll also notice that under the cornfed spacer the revtek spacer adds some more droop to the front end:


Please note that you won't have any trouble installing the shock cover on the stock shocks. I would recommend though, that since you taking the front shocks apart anyway, why not go ahead and get some new shocks, because you don't want to do that part again. Trust me, because it sucks!

I don't have any pics of the rear spacer installed, but it's easy to do.

We definitely know how to spend each other's money, don't we? If you have the money, you probably already know, but SAWS are the best thing you can get for the front, but I imagine you're trying to save money by getting the spacers.

If you're going to eventually get the SAWS I would just save your money on the shocks, and just get the spacers. Although you'll get a lot more travel in the rear with the OME shocks, and in the front.

Cornfed spacers for sale

I've got a set of used front 2.5" Cornfed spacers I'll sell you. I'll even have them powdercoated black so they'll look as good as new for $100 + shipping.
