Finally leveled the 4Runner - OME 882's installed

After living with a badly sagging front Daystar spacer lift, I decided it was time to do something about it. So, I pulled the trigger and ordered a pair of OME 882's with N91SC shocks. For those that are interested, I've posted my lift and prelift measurements. All are from the ground to my limited fender flares.

Stock - front: 34.5", rear: 34.5" (265/70 R16 tires)

Current front: 38.25" OME 882 coils (285/75 R16 tires)
Lifted height: 3.75"

Current rear: 39.25" LC coils (285/75 R 16 tires)
Lifted height: 4.75"

A before shot: notice the difference between the front and rear. The ultimate dragster look!



And finally, the after shots...








CV angles look pretty decent...



Now, on to the next mods...

Thanks for the comments. It's amazing how big a difference an inch can make!

I hear you guys about the boards. If I had my way, they'd be long gone. I think it would look way taller with them off too. I'm blessed with a petite wife that wouldn't be able to get in without them, so they've gotta stay...for now!

one thing i'd like to point out, in the last picture you posted, the lower shock bolt is facing the CV boot, i'd flip it giving the CV boot more space, like this. actually, Steve at SS told me that.

That's a great suggestion. I'll be working at home this weekend anyway, so would be easy to tackle.

Looks great. Do you have a pic of the coil just by itself?

Thanks

I was going to take a pic of the coils and shocks before installation, but didn't have the camera handy, sorry. Anything you need a pic of now?

The only way to know is to try! From what I've read, OME 882's are a good choice to Taco's too.

Just the OME 882's. Some people run the 881's and a topout, but I'm not sure a topout would fit in the coil pack with 882's. You shouldn't need one anyway, as the 882's give ~3" of lift on their own.

They've been on now for ~3 months and zero sag. I'm very happy with them so far.
