Hal ran OME spacers on his '97 I think, he may have some opinions on that. Check t4r.org, those guys are tinkerers.
this needs to stay in the club - who needs an 80?:

Since I will be running stock springs for a while I installed stock control arms and have a set of arms with OME yellow bushings already installed.

does anyone have 4 or 5 31/10.5/15s?
OR! Brian, if you are going to work on the 4runner we could just trade. http://tuscaloosa.craigslist.org/cto/4088374583.html
"everything is for sale, everything must go"
I thought the 80 would be long gone by now.
1st gen tacomas are either clapped out or outrageously expensive (most of the time both)
Ideally I'd get a tundra, but Ill probably end up getting another accord and putting the rest toward student loans.
I really wish Kait would take the trooper and let me sell her rodeo. but I dont get anywhere barking up that tree.

Too late. The 4Runner is a done deal, and I think Casey is already spending money that I don't have to make it "cooler"

OME heavies needed
I have decided that the LC front springs are going to be more lift than I need for the 4Runner and I am going to have to pony up for a real lift and do it right. BUTTT..... Now I need a set of OME Heavies for the front of my 80 to handle the weight of my new ARB that should be here next week. Right now I already have a lower than ideal front end with the Mediums, so when I add that extra 125 pounds up front I am really going to be "Stinkbugging".
I need to buy a used set of Heavies if anybody is sitting on some in their garage. If not, who has the best prices on the individual springs?

The only difference in the heavies and the mediums is 1" of height, they are the same spring rate, so you might as well just throw in a spacer.

Tell me more
All I have seen for spacers are the OME Trimpackers. Who make a good 2" spacer set that wont cost as much as a new set of springs and trimspacers?

been there done that.
the trooper is just about as "cool" as it can get.
The only thing it doesnt have is a Yeti and a big whip antenna.

we have had that for 40k miles in Kait's rodeo without a problem.
2" - clarence has a set that Brad made for him that I don't think he is going to use. If not, I can make you a set for cheap. I printed out the templates but just haven't gotten around to making any.
I had a set of those mr gaskets in the rear of my last 80 before I upgraded the springs. They were done after a few thousand miles. For that style I have the man-a-fre ones on mine now and slee makes a set. But they are only 1". I think the continuous ring and polyurethane helps them hold up better in an 80.

You say that as if you don't have enough projects keeping you busy already. I personally would rather keep it in the club if it truly is an option. When I get the ARB on I will take some measurements and see how much lift I will need to get level and you can put me a price together.
Will it cost more if I help with the build?
slee has some for 45$
Not sure if the 2" ones brad made me will work for a 4 runner rear.
My Mr gasket ones are toast as well, but... well, you know..

The spacers will be for my Cruiser to get up to level after I hang the new ARB out front.
sweet..
I keep going back and forth on if I want to put those spacers on mine.
I think the ones I got from brad would give you a reverse rake or at least that's what I'm counting on.
I have a set of 1" for the rear I figured 2" up front and 1" the rear would give me a pretty level stance.

you could also get these
man-a-fre but you are subject to there mystery shipping (they don't tell you the shipping cost; they just send you the part with shipping billed to your card after its too late to turn it back)
Both of these options should level you out fairly well.
I was pretty level with the MR. Gasket for the ARB/Winch combo; with the beast that's on the front of the thing now... not so much.
