Confused if this is a spacer in the coilover?

    I bought my truck used and it already has an OME lift in the front but unsure which. I want to correct the 1/4 inch or so sag on the drivers front, but I see that there are these silver spacers, at least I think they are. They are on both driver and passenger side front. Are these spacers or just part of the coilover?

    Looks like a 1/2” spacer to me.

    OK that's what I was figuring. I think I'll remove the passenger side to drop it down a little to correct the lean. Wonder why they installed a spacer in the passenger side too..
    Thanks

    Yes spacers. Also have extended length studs. Your upper top hat rubber/insulator looks to be in bad shape. To fix this I'd replace the top hats with KYB upper strut mounts. Cost effective, will have proper length studs and fresh rubber.

    Thanks. Well, maybe at this point I'll just replace both the front end. I have no idea how old this set up is, I just replaced the old rear OME leafs that were in horrific shape..

    If it's a 1/2" spacer, they are giving you 1" of lift. How much of a lean are you trying to correct?

    Then you want a 1/4" spacer on the driver side.

    So remove both spacers and install a 1/4" to the driver? So assuming I have a 2.5" lift, with the spacers it gives me 3.5"?

    Yes, if the coils, without the spacers, gives you 2.5” lift. Do you know which OME coils are on the truck? If OME 2885, a popular coil for Tacos, you get a max of 2 inches. Probably a little less now, depending on mileage. I say add 1/4” spacer on driver-side to existing setup.

    Unfortunately I do know what springs are in it, but it does have the 90000 shocks. I wonder if the springs are the 2885 for the 2" and then the spacers were installed to give it a total of 3". I'm just trying to figure out what I should do for replacements if/when I do them since I do like the even front and back look without any rake to it. I replaced the rear leaf packs with EL111R.
    I guess the 886 springs with 1/4 spacer, or just the 886 springs without the spacer?
