Exclamation need help with spacers

hey guys i just recently added new front and rear bumpers and i waited about 6 weeks to see where it all ended up settling to. the front is at 37.5 and the rear is at 39.125, so now i got a diffrence of like 1.625, a 1 3/4 inch spacer would do the trick...what can i put on top of my ome setup and could i add two small spacers together on top of each other, like a 3/4 and 1inch to gain a full 1 3/4 inch per side ...im really stuck and dont know the best way to go about this.. thanks in advance...and yes i have searched

Are you already running top out spacers on your OME lift?

Can you give us details of your lift and exactly what you are running?

I had the Tundra/OME lift (search for "Tundra/OME") and I had one top out spacer and I was perfectly even. You might need to add two sets up front to make her even.

You must have 881's up front. There's no way that 882's would be that much shorter. Most sites call the 881's heavy duty and don't even recommend the 882's for 3rd gen 4Runner applications. But, I've got a set of 882's ready to install now and they'll probably match up with LC springs in the rear, which are longer than OME's. Right now, our measurements are almost exactly the same up front and I'm getting another 1/2" in the back, so it will be interesting to see what the 882's do in terms of lift.

If you're running the 881's, you can most definitely run a spacer with them. Toyteclifts.com sells a 3/4" lift spacer specifically for that. Please post more specific lift information so we can help you better!!

Odds are you have the 881's up front.

Have you tried searching for "Tundra/OME lift"? There is a ton of talk out there about how many spacers are needed and for which applications. I would spend some time researching it on here - you may get more results and less junk if you use the advanced search feature.

It won't say on the spring - not sure how else you can tell.

I know the 881's are supposed to give about 1.75-2" of lift...I don't know how much different the 882's are. I would imagine either way you could run them with a spacer (ride quality will suffer though).

From the research I've done, the 882's give ~2.75-3" of lift on their own without spacers. With the amount of lift you're getting, it seems almost certain you have the 881's. I wouldn't do spacers on top of the 882's because of CV issues. If you can confirm you have the 881's, spacers would be fine.
