    Hoping to get some guidance

    When I bought my 2011 Rock Warrior, it has a leveling kit on it, using the factory 4600 Bilsteins

    I replaced the rear shocks with OM-EMU and I'm still level, super nice!

    Question is on the fronts , I see a black spacer disk in each side, in between the top of the coil and the mounting tower. I guess this gives me the LIFT or leveling right?

    If I go with preassembled OME springs and shocks (Toytec), will they retain the lift/ leveling on the front?
    Or will I have to also install the spacers again to keep it LEVEL?

    Hoping to do this myself, using the preassembled units from Toytec ....

    That black spacer is probably the leveling kit, depending how thick it is. You won't use that once you put in the new assembled coils. Those will give you the lift instead of using spacers.

    Can you post up some pictures of that Black Disk along with some ride height measurements from the center of the wheel hub to edge of fender?
