I just put in an order for 882 springs and OME shocks. I was reading that some people had the uneven lift problem? How much of a difference in height would it be side to side? Will i need them? I just want to make sure i have everything for assembly just so i won't have to take the struts out twice...

 

Are these for a straight axle truck? When i ordered my OME's there was a left and right side front spring. If they are the same, just put some shims on the driver side perch to even it out.

 

Oops, it's a 3rd gen 4runner. I think i was reading people are about 1/8th inch to 1/4 inch off?

 

Be sure and verify first but I believe they are designed that way to accomodate the weight of the driver.

 

Mine were dead even, so no need for trim packers on my rig. It's been a while since I installed mine, but I don't remember them being labeled driver or passenger side. Take a measurement before installation and the longer of the two would go on the drivers side to compensate for the weight of the driver and fuel tank.

 

Before I put on my 881's I had a 3/16" mis-match, after the 881's I still had a 3/16" mismatch (the driver's side was lower).

If you don't have a mismatch with the stock springs, you should be OK without a trim-packer.

This mismatch is not visably noticable, and after driving a year on the springs, my mismatch is down to 2/16".

.

 

Is that like 4/32" or 8/64"?

 

When I did my OME lift on my '99 I put on two sets of top-out spacers - I got them from a former member here.

I used them to even out the lift from front to rear.
I didn't have any problems with it being uneven side-to-side.

I think it's closer to 125/1000
