Before & After 1/2" OME spacer install, and some observations.

Finally got the trim package on yesterday. 885's, 5100s@ 0, 13mm(1/2") OME spacers. Then, went playing last night to test it out. Only rubbed a few times, but WAY less than before with just the 885's. Maybe an alignment will cure the rest of the rubbing.


Before

After




Also, while doing the install, I noticed my sway bar had been rubbing the shit out of my 5100 on the driver side only. So, I went ahead and removed the sway bar even though I really didn't want to




Also, I notice my LCA on the passenger side has been rubbed somehow. Idk if the LCa bottomed out(doubt it), or if my tire has been rubbing the LCA. And, idk if it was rubbing it before the spacer or after the spacer.

 

I turned my wheel all the way to the right, and there is about an inch clearance between my tire and the two spots you see, so I'm pretty sure it's the tire rubbing, but it might have been before I installed the spacers.

 

A sway bar relocate kit should fix that problem.

 

That's what I was gonna say^^^^^^

 

Yeah. I might leave it off for a while. I couldn't really notice a difference on the road. It was night and day off road though.

 

How do you like the 885? I havent installed my lift yet but I have eibach and I am thinking about selling those and getting 885!

 

You do get more articulation with it off. I plan on taking mine off too, i want a power wagon electronic sway bar disconnect feature lol. Now that would be badass if the Off Road package came with that.

 

I love mine, the ride is really nice!

 

idk compared to eibach, but compared to stock they are mucho bueno.

Definitely. I went through a spot with ease that I'm usually left with two wheels off the ground spinning.

 

Did you have eibach at one time?

 

Do you have aftermarket UCA? If not, how is the alignment?

 

Yes, I have LR UCA's.

 

Ok was it required or suggested to run aftermarket UCA with that lift?

 

Suggested, and required if you want proper alignment. Before, I was running stock UCA's with billies set at 2.5", and the outsides of my tires were getting worn pretty bad.

 

OK thanks for the great info!

 

No, never rode in a Tacoma with Eibach's before...

 

I cant decide if I want to switch from eibach to ome!
