I recently installed an OME medium duty coil springs and shocks on all 4 corners of my 4Runner. They gave me about 1.5 to 1.75" of lift. I then installed an ARB Sahara Bar and Superwinch and lost about 1" on the front end. So, I then decided to add a 1.25" spacer to the front end to level it out a bit as well as make room for 285's. After installing the spacer I am now 1.25 " higher than the rear. How does a spacer that is suppose to give you 1.25" of lift give you 2.5" of lift? I am also getting pretty severe vibrations at 55mph and above. I am assuming that this is driveline vibrations? I also have noticed that the upper control arm is quite a bit lower than before and is within about 1/4" of touching the springs. I would appreciate any input and/or advice.

 

What is the height of the actual spacer??? are you sure you got the right one???

 

It is a little hard to measure now that it is in place but they appear to be about 1" thick or less. Also, I just noticed that my upper CV boots on both sides appear to be puking.

 

you have way too much weight for the medium setup up front. You should have gone with the HD. What spacer do you have on there? Do you have a diff drop?

 

The natives speak of a legend, who goes by the name of "diff drop"

 

 

I realized that I could have (Should have) gone with the HD after installing the bumper and winch. Although, I have taken some pretty good bumps with it and it rides nicely. I bought a 1.25" lift spacer from Wheelers Off-Road (Daystar I believe). I have not yet installed a diff. drop. I am ordering it today. In the mean time I am avoiding driving it on the freeway.

 

Check your e-mail. I sent you the paypal thing. Wait until you see this guys truck, he's all setup now.

With what I suggested and the parts from me and other people, you truck will be perfect.
