Gentlemen,I have an OME 2" lift kit on my TLC 80 I feel that the car is leaning towards the front more than the back
The suspension is very good and the coils are heavy load
Is there a way to get more high by adding and not changing anything or is there a way to make it balanced front vs back
 
Pretty much all the OME suspension setups will sit higher in the back unless you mix and match springs or use spacers in the front. (or just carry a crapload of weight in the back).

Easiest way to accomplish a level stance would be to add 30mm spacers on top of your front springs.
 
Even my mixed J front and heavy rear lift is front biased. My last 80 had a heavy lift front and back with a 30mm front spacer and was pretty close to level. I'm going to finish my sleeping platform and drawer build before I try and level my truck but I would like it to sit more level than it does now.
 
OME lifts are designed for expedition travel. Carrying more weight in the back all the time for long distances. To keep the truck's suspension balanced under load the rear will have to sit higher when empty. Yes, you can add spacers or mix springs to achieve a level stance. But once you load up the rear with gear you'll be nose high.
 
I rather be nose high than stink bug.
The vehicle drives better like that any ways.

You can add a coil spacer in front to help the issue.
 
Just get ome j springs
 
J front springs, heavy rear springs, and castor correction plates. Disconnect the hard brake lines from the frame and make spacers for the parking brake and LSPV. Cheapest way to get 3+ inches of level lift.

Thanks!! I should have been more specific
 
I Luv it when the OP gives these none info like single posts & that's it, but the thread just goes on page after page & sometimes days of the Same Ole, Same Ole...
I understand there is now so much conflicting infomation out there that it's down right confusing for a newbie. I myself was a confused noob (still am)...

I was also angry when I got my OME medium 851/860 lift when it netted 1.5" front & 3.5" rear. Even a spacer up front didn't fix the stinkbug. Then the "A" "B" coils... what a mess.

Oh, where was I?
I think I lost it for a bit...

Well any ways we mean all well, but us mudders tend to overwhelm noobies at times I think.

So, we need more info on your set up, intended purpose of the rig & you want economy lift or is it the best money can buy?
