Hey Mike. You have me worried now. You say you dropped .75 with the 881's.
Im going to have to keep a close eye on my 880's. If I notice any sag I'll return the front OME'S, stick my stock springs and 2inch cornfed spacers in there. Problem solved.
I'll be talking to ARB tomorrow to see what they have to say about this issue.
I'll let you know.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial, Helv, Helvetica, Sans">Maybe I made a mistake on the measurements, but I don't think so. I guess the primary issue is that, measuring from top of tire to wheel well, the distance in front is 1.5" less than the rear.

I called ARB yesterday, and the tech told me that 1.5" seemed excessive. I asked him if this was typical, and he said that they get all kinds of lift results -- that it isn't typical, but it isn't unusual (paraphrase). He added that the springs were not designed for 4Runners, which I have heard.

However, if had known about this sag, I would have probably opted for Sway Aways in the front.

I'm a little bit surprised, because I tried to do my homework before buying this, and people on the board had said that they had gotten 2.5" of lift in the front. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Based on my experience, I would tell anyone buying the OME springs all around to just install spacers in front while they're at it.

On a positive side, I still say that the OME HD in front and medium duty in back (with comfort shocks all around) gives me an awesome ride off road. Very comfortable and controlled. I would definitely prefer them with spacers to the stock springs with spacers due to the mushiness of the stock springs, which is bad for wheeling where the terrain wants to bounce you.
