    Hi guys quick question I have a 3" spacer lift on the front of my 05 trd or pre runner and I just bought some 5100's and I'm looking at the emu springs how can I get 3" of lift so I don't have to use the spacer lift? Will the 885's give me the 3" or do I have to add the top plate? Thanks for any help

    I have a prerunner with the 885 coils and I am right at 3" of lift. I think the less weight on a prerunner allows it to have a little more lift.

    So I have 14 DCSB with Full OME (885's, Sport Stocks and Dakar) without the top spacers. after riding on it for about a year I want to I want to level it a bit. Still want some rake but noticeably more level. However, about 6 months out of the year I have a Leer QX100 fiberglass topper. With the topper it sits a little better. My Question is what thickness of spacer should I get?

    Does anyone have a "clunk" in the front? I have it on the drivers side over shaper edges like a speed bump or rocks. I've read that the shock is topping out due to the spring. (I have 887 coils, nitrocharger sport shocks, and Dakar in the rear)
    No sway bar, and no visible hitting of the coil anywhere else.

    Yes many people do. Is there a follow up question or did you just want to make sure you aren't alone?

    Just checking to see what everyone else has really. I know its a general issue and most just live with it. I called ARB and they said that an ARB bumper would possibly fix it due to the weight. Has anyone had the clunk, got a good amount of weight on front and the clunk go away mostly?
    I had already decided to get an ARB front bumper in the future, which is why I went the OME suspension route, but didn't know about the clunk until after the install.

    dont have this suspension setup anymore, but it was nitrochargers with 885s and a 5mm trim packer on the driver's side, and Dakars in the rear.

    Had a clunk when going fast over a bump. To my understanding, it was internal to the shock in the front. Bottoming out.
