After dealing with a sagging front lift for about 6 months, I decided it was time to do something about it. My old 2.5" Daystar spacers and stock coils weren't cutting it anymore. A quick call to Gerone at trdparts4u.com, and I had a set of OME 882 coils and OME N91SC comfort shocks on the way. I was trying to match the LC coils in the rear and this setup ended up making things perfectly level looking!
Here's a pic of my sagging front end...

Here are a few of the new lift...

Front suspension with diff drop...

CV angles looking really good. Unfortunately, tire clearance has become an issue again, but they don't rub unless I'm at full lock and flexing...

With the LC coils in the rear, I netted ~3.75" of lift. The new OME 882/N91SC setup in front provides ~3", and as you can see, the front is very level with the rear, or at least much closer than before. As far as ride is concerned, the 882's are firm, but very controlled...not harsh at all. The ride is certainly much better than my old Daystar setup, and I would highly suggest going with the OME comfort shocks over the firm valved ones. I'm now a firm believer in OME products and won't hesitate to buy them again.
