    Just got me a new 17 AC 4x4 4cyl 5spd. I want a level stance without messing with the rear leaf springs. What OME spring gets me perfectly level????? Obviously I will use OME shocks too. Thanks!

    Hit up marie @HeadStrong Off-Road. Cant help with OME spring, I went OME with 886 to support the extra weight I've added and get 2-3" of lift. I would guess 885's or 884's but i dont really know. Another popular option is Bilsteins, they are adjustable and can use your stock springs.

    Level without adjusting the rear?

    I don't know if adding OME up front will give you that little lift.

    884 springs are the light weight ones for access cabs and 4 cylinders. 885's for double cabs. 886 for those of us with bumpers/winches.

    Spring, Coil, same thing. They're called coil springs.

    I think OME's coil springs would lift you too high if you don't adjust the rear.

    I could be wrong though.

    Oh, you might also consider whether you'll ever put weight in the rear. If your truck sits perfectly level... when you put stuff in the rear it'll have Bro Lean (nose high).

    Also, when those factory Toyota leaf springs break in... you'll have Bro Lean.

    They get recommended for their great service, good pricing and they have free shipping. I'm sure there are a lot of local shops in AZ that could assist but I cant name any that I have experience with since I live in Tx.

    We can definitely help you with that. I would recommend measuring your current stance to know how much "off" level you are and taking it from there. IF you want to PM me I can help walk you through it along with which coil would work best.

    Thank you so much @SuperBad and @Kyitty we truly appreciate your recommendations and comments it really means a lot to us! :cheers::taco:
