I am about to buy a OME 882 kit for my '00 Tacoma and was thinking about also getting a 1" spacer to add a bit more lift. I know that large spacers will increase the stiffness of the ride but will such a small spacer make the 882's ride even stiffer (I know that the 882 is the firmest OME set-up)? I am going to get a TJM bull bar, have the v6, and will be getting a winch somewhere down the road so the front end won't be light. So is a 1" spacer a good idea or is a 1" body lift better idea? any other suggestions?

Also, I've heard that Cornfed spacers aren't compatible with the OME coils, is this true? Any other spacers that this is true for?

Thanks

 

bad idea. 882s will give you at least 2.5" so adding more could (and prob will) put you in trouble.

the ride quality shouldnt noticably change.

install the 882s and see where that puts you. if you want to be taller, get a body lift. then if after you get a bumper/winch you want more lift, then add a spacer.

FALSE.

 

I have OME hard coils and shocks in the front and I also run 1.5" cornfed spacers with no sway bar or differential drop. My 305s rubed bad before the spacers due to the front saged with my TJM and winch. I got the spacers and love the ride. It handles so much beter than before and can flex just as much as before. The only issue is CV but I broke 6 before and got Newfeild drive axles and spacer and have not broken them yet....
