Just installed an OME MD and was thinking about adding the 1/4 spacers to the front to get an extra 1/2 inch in the front. Who makes rear 1/2 inch spacers as I can't seem to find anything out there... What is everybody using to get that modified OME in the rear?

So I've been looking at the JBA rear coil spacers. They apparently are 3/8". IM guessing you stack them on top of the factory lower spring isolator or on top and bottom. Anybody using these with any success? Thinking about just going with one spacer up front instead of two as it seems more hassle than anything and these JBA spacers for rear.
What is the standard for the "Modified OME"? as in what do others run in their rigs?

I just did....3 new JBA spacers on the drivers side and 2 spacers on the pax side....I got slight bump up in the rear...I am now over 22" from center of wheel to the bottom of the fenderwell....slight rake overall. That is what I wanted. With the HD OME I was sagging slightly in the rear.

Omelet recommended the Rustys rear spacer. He said irs advertised as 2" but used without the coil isolator on the spacer side it is 1.5"

Has anybody seen this front "leveling kit"? It's states as a 2.5" kit but doesn't look close to that at all. Thinking about this kit for my modified OME.


My buddy has tundra struts on his 4runner which is basically similar to our OME and has a 1.5" strut spacer on top and has about 4-4.5" lift. His CV angles are a little extreme but it works and does pretty well.

I know everyone advises against it but I kind of wanna try a similar setup and see what happens.

^^^ Your cv's and rack will be screaming if not fail.

You have to remember that the front strut spacers adds about double its thickness. .25" adds about .5" and so on.

So have we come to the conclusion that using rustys 1/4" strut spacer, 2" rear spacer, and trac bar is the easiest, safest way to achieve the extra lift out of an OME? I need more lift and this option seems perfect. For those running it now, how much rake ?
