Replaced OME's with Cornfed
Just a boring spring pic in case any one's interested. - Webshots - (I don't think you are allowed to image from Webshots anymore).
I found that with the Old Man Emu 891's the ride was a bit harsh for my rough roads, fine on smooth asphalt, but otherwise r-r-rough. So I swapped back to the original springs with Cornfed 2.5" spacers. It rides a bit higher with the spacers, I am guessing the original springs may settle a bit since they were out for about a year.

I've been swaying back and forth trying to decide between coil spacers and the OME shocks/coils combo. I drive mostly on the highway, so is it a safe bet to say that the OMEs are better for my driving?

Do you like the way your 4runner rides now? If so, get the spacers. If you want a lot stiffer ride, go with the OME's. If you want better flex off-road, go with the spacers. If you want better load capability, go with the OME's.
