Which coils do you have in the rear? I'd think you'd need maybe 882's for a 2" lift.

I have the 906 2" coils in the rear and like it that high so i was hoping to get the front to set level with back but the 3" front coils looked like 6" lift. Is there something such as a 1-1/2" front coil lift?

You realize that the springs gonna compress when the weight of the truck's on it, right?

Ya i all ready tried them out and drove around on them for a day and was way to high in the front really embarrassing.
Do you know how much shorter the 884's are than the 882's?

OK, just checking. That's really strange that youre getting so much more lift tahn it should be. Could it be they sent you a set of land cruiser lift springs by mistake?

On my 2002, the 881 front coils were perfect with my 906 rear coils. I believe the 882's were meant to be used with an off-road bumper.

The 884 coils are for a 4th Gen 4runner.

884 = no third gen

881's will lower you, or just go with 890's for the rear.

you could just order some ball joint spacers to jack the front up to the same level..they sell 1/2 inch to 2inches i think..

882s are for use with 3rd gen 4Runners with a heavy duty front bumper and winch.
They also do not work well with "stock" shocks.
If you had called TT beforehand and talked to them about your purchase you would have been told this I imagine.

Good luck, but this one sounds like it is on you, not TT.

about 2in. i have 883's with a spacer (883's are taller that 882's) and my balljoints dont dig in... maybe a faulty install. that just doesn't seem right to me. call the guys at toytec, they have great service and will help you in any way they can.

3" in the front and 2" in the back. Am I missing something here. Is that suppose to level your lift or something, I'm not too familiar with leveling. Post some pics of your set up, close up and from a far.
