So I am looking for a slight bit more ground clearance than I currently have. I have the standard set of spacers (Lift and level). I think its coming in at around three inches or 2.5. I need to throw some new supsension under it, and was wondering if I could combine the OME suspension with the spacers to get around 4 inches of lift in the front? Has anyone done this or have ideas as to why it wouldn't work.
Too steep of CV angle = breakage. I have the OME 886's on my front and you can see in this picture that it is pushing the angles. Putting a spacer on this situation would do nothing more than push the CV angles too far IMHO...

It's interesting to me to see pictures of the axle with the 886's. I have the 883's and my axles are horizontal, which is better than stock, but nowhere near what MTBCouch shows in his pics.. Thanks for posting, that's a great illustration.

The 886's are heavy-duty, but that means the opposite of what you're thinking. They provide the most "lift". So, it's not sag but the opposite.
I hope that makes sense.?

I don't understand. If that is the case why does Toytec sell the OME kits with billet spacers? I notice they don't come with the suspension but it says you can add it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Toytec front lift kit is a hybrid set-up consisting of Toytec's own spring (not an OME) with a spacer, combined with an OME shock.

Its an FJ thing!
