    Removed front mudflaps, had the alignment shop go with position "D" on the LR UCA's, and problem solved. No more rubbing!!!! Thank again Oz and Yota Lover for the advice/input. Photo of new position and new alignment printout below:

    Looking to Purchase this kit for my 03' first gen 4 door.

    http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Old-Man-Emu-Tacoma-suspension_p_225.html

    Here is my question... I'm looking to get the 881 coils, but it says to add a spacer for full 3" lift. I'm not looking for 3 inch lift, how much would I get without the spacer? If not putting the spacer on, would that make the back end too high since the front didn't get to 3"? I don't off road heavy, will see some dirt occasionally, just looking for a nice stance and ride instead of the awkward stock stance and ride.

    -Erik

    I4 or V6? 2.5 is a happy medium inside the range of what you can expect but as has been said many many times in this thread by well-versed OME folk, there are variables. Weight and other things.. but mostly weight.



    edit: forgot to mention I have an '02 4banger and will be putting on 881s in the following weeks. I'll post my results.

    Sorry, mine is the V6, wont have any additional front weight. That being said, a decent estimate would be around 2.5?

    Also, would adding the 1.5 leaf to the rear be too much rear lift if I did not put the spacer on?

    I would imagine that with 881s and a 1.5 leaf in the rear you would be close to level if not a tad nose high.

    Nice! Me too, never installed suspension before, at least not on a car/truck, so very excited to have a go at putting on my OME kit.
