Lift Questions
I recently installed an OME medium duty coil springs and shocks on all 4 corners of my 4Runner. They gave me about 1.5 to 1.75" of lift. I then installed an ARB Sahara Bar and Superwinch and lost about 1" on the front end. So, I then decided to add a 1.25" spacer to the front end to level it out a bit as well as make room for 285's. After installing the spacer I am now 1.25 " higher than the rear. How does a spacer that is suppose to give you 1.25" of lift give you 2.5" of lift? I am also getting pretty severe vibrations at 55mph and above. I am assuming that this is driveline vibrations? I also have noticed that the upper control arm is quite a bit lower than before and is within about 1/4" of touching the springs. I would appreciate any input and/or advice.

It is a little hard to measure now that it is in place but they appear to be about 1" thick or less. Also, I just noticed that my upper CV boots on both sides appear to be puking.

I realized that I could have (Should have) gone with the HD after installing the bumper and winch. Although, I have taken some pretty good bumps with it and it rides nicely. I bought a 1.25" lift spacer from Wheelers Off-Road (Daystar I believe). I have not yet installed a diff. drop. I am ordering it today. In the mean time I am avoiding driving it on the freeway.
