Old Man Emu Spring Question(s) (1 Viewer)

[Winter Borne]

I have a 2015 4Runner with Bilstein 5100's on the Front and Rear. The front is set on the lowest clip with Old Man Emu 2884 springs which gave me 3" of lift which fit 285/70/17's without any rubbing on factory wheels (+15mm offset). I've since added a Victory steel bumper, a 10K synthetic rope winch, and RCI steel plates (all of them...) My front end now sags one inch lower and now I have some tire rub when reversing with the wheels turned.

I can raise the clip one notch which will add .875" or so of lift., but will it effect the ride quality or shock capabilities?

Or I can upgrade the springs to something stronger like the 2885 or 2886 and leave it at the lowest clip setting to get the front up a bit more?

I'm looking for advice on what's the better option.

Also - The rear springs are OME 895E, and at the moment the difference in height from front to rear is 1.375" when measured at the center of the wheels to the fenders.

Thanks

Just raise the seat position and try it.
