    Measured my 885/5100's 1/2" spacer on driver side

    FL: 22 1/2"
    FR: 22 1/4"
    BL: 24"
    BR: 24"

    Does that sound about right?

    Pulled the trigger on an OME lift for my 2013 DCSB TRD Sport.

    Here's what I had installed (yeah I know, any self respecting Tacoma owner should do their own lift)...

    OME2885 Front Coil Springs
    90000 Front Struts
    CS047R Rear Leaf Springs
    N182 Rear Shocks
    FK29 Driveshaft Spacer
    U53A U Bolt Sets
    4 x Toyota leaf spring bushings

    Did not change the UCAs.

    Rides great and looks great! Glad I went with the OME set up!! Thanks for all the info - for those with the patience to read lots of posts, TW is a wealth of information!

    Probably sagged a bit then , I'm at 22 1/2" both sides up front with just the 885x and just the 5mm trim packer on the driver's side

    Yeah figured. Bought em used. Would it be stupid to put a 3/4" top plate spacer to get the full 3?

    You could do a 1/2" top plate spacer but you would need longer top plate studs, so you will need to take the shocks and coils apart again i believe

    Ah, alright. Looks like I'll have to deal with it for a while then. Just wanted a little bit more lift :(

    1/4 top plate spacers wont need longer studs, but you still need to pull the coilover assembly out and then you would need another alignment

    Oh. So he probably already has longer studs.

    Seeing the third gen section forced me to get a Ford...
    i'm kinda surprised less people are running the sport shocks in the rear as well. when i talked to DSM, they were only $5-10 more than the N182s.

    He wants to add 1/2" spacers to his 1/2" spacer to regain height from his sagged used 885's

    I just installed an ome lift on my access cab last week.
    Consisted of;
    Ome 884x coils
    Toytec 1/4 inch spacer
    Toytec rear deaver aal
    90000 fronts
    N182 rears
    Pinion carrier drop

    Love the ride so far, definitely think I made the right decision going with the ome shocks over billsteins after reading reviews on the forums.

    I don't have exact measurements but here's a pic.
