884 Lift Height w/o spacers and with TSB

Hi Guys,

Before I ask my question I would like to say that im discouraged with this forum. Ive posted 2 times previous to this and only managed tonget a single response each time that hardly answered my questions. I thought this was a place for help and knowledge sharing, yet ao far my experience is hardly that. with that being said i will ask my question.

I have an Access Cab 4x4 with TSB in the rear (Canadian truck). I have purchased a complete OME lift kit (884 coils, 1.5 aal, and even top plate spacers). Im not yet convinced I want to go the full 3 inches. I am considering just putting the coils and struts in the front and shock absorbers in the back. and a size bigger tires. So my Question is this... What are people getting for lift up front with an access cab with 884 coils and no spacer??? the toytec person said i would get 1.75 inches but i have read everything from 1.75 up to 2.5 inches. thats a pretty broad range. My rear measures 2.5 inches higher then my front (hub to finder) so im hoping the 884s without the spacer will put me at 2 inches max. in order to keep the truck close to level with the back end being slightly higher then the front (which is what i want)

thanks for your replies!

Justin

 

Late reply, but i got exactly 2" on an access cab 4x4 with stock Canadian leaf pack. No spacers. I used 5100s in the front and back (wont make a difference on height).



It sits just under an inch higher in the back.

 

Hi Justin,

I have an Access Cab TRD.

I had 884's in the front with no spacers ... just over 2" lift.

Currently running 885's with a lift just shy of 3".

Soon getting Kings or Icons all around (OME is the best bang for the money, but they aren't standing up to the forest roads / fast washboard stuff I like to run on).

I know that people mention that aftermarket UCAs aren't mandatory with a 2 to 2 1/2" lift, but I think they are. Your alignment (tires) will suffer without them in my opinion.

 

Thanks guys! 2 inches is what i was hoping for.

TotalBrutal - what size tires are you running?

SoCo - I will keep the UCAs in mind, total chaos seems to be the brand to get? for UCAs, any other brands i should look at?

Not trying to discourage you but a simple search will help you with what you are wanting. I got the same treatment being new. Now I just use the search button.

But to help you out here.

i'm running 265/70R17 Duratracs. Had to remove my front mudflaps but that was due to the offset of the new wheels I got too. Also, i'm running stock UCAs and my alignment is in spec, no un-even tire wear noticed. I just rotate regularly as you should and they are fine.
