Yes Im running OME shocks, coils, and struts. I used to Toytec top plate to bring the front end up. It had more rake than I liked. The KM2 ride great so far and they are not as noisey as you would think. We will find out how they do offroad in a few day. Need some more rain down this way.
I'm really interested in the idea of adding a top spacer to my OME medium shock/coil setup in the front to level out. Mind snapping a photo of the whole coilover as well as your CV Angle from the front? I'd really appreciate it.

Also, what size spacer did you go with?

I will try to get a close up tomorrow. I got the 1/2 top spacer. You dont want to go any bigger than that.

Re: Big Country's FJ

Just to clarify, is that a STOCK shock? This is why I was so curious to see. I have the OME (yellow) shocks and coils up front and thought that with a spacer added the CV angles would be too extreme, neccesitating a diff drop.

Re: Big Country's FJ

Yes they are OME struts. The bottom part of the strut is yellow. Toytec says it is fine to use to top plate spacers with the med or light coils. They dont rec. it with the heavy.
