Newbie question... please help.

Ok, so I'm getting ready to place the order but I have to choose between the Nitrocharger shocks or the sport shocks. When I called the company, they said that the nitrochargers are better for a softer quality ride vs the sport...

Is that accurate? you would think it would be the other way around because the sports are more $$

 

I got the sport shocks all around. VERY pleased!

Better ride over stock definitely. Can't say I know much about the regular nitrochargers though. Sports are designed for on and offroad (see below)

From ARB's website:

"Our new Nitrocharger Sport is the latest OME development in shock absorber design and represents the next evolutionary step for our ever-reliable and much respected Nitrocharger range of shock absorbers.
The main feature owners have noticed and commented on after having Nitrocharger Sport shocks fitted is the tremendous improvement in ride comfort and handling over all types of road conditions. The ability to soak up harsh and rough roads is nothing but outstanding.

While having OME suspension installed with Nitrocharger shocks will definitely improve the handling and ride comfort while increasing the ride height by around 30mm, fitting Nitrocharger Sport shocks will give you the latest technology and even more of an improvement. This is coupled with an extra year of warranty on your Sport shocks.."

I vote Sport if funds allow.

 

Go with the ultimate kit! It is cheaper, monotube shocks, and the bilsteins are pretty good shocks

 

OME for the win!

This is what I went with, and just finished the install. Super easy.

 

if its for only or mainly highway either go full OME or what i went with was bilstein 5100's front and rear and ome 884 coils and aal in the rear and my rig is 95% highway and 5% curb hoppin wet grass trying to get off the highway but no exit use lol

 

I went with the full OME from Toytec (Tacoma World code 112710) and couldn't be happier. It rides really smooth with the sport shocks and didn't have to buy new upper control arms or brake line extenders. I've read some reviews where the bilistens looked liked they puked just a few months after some people installed them and that scared me. All the reviews on OME lifts have been good and a lot go with the full OME Dakar rear leafs. I really like the way Toytec's site lets you customize your order and they assemble your front shocks, springs and spacers for you. Many sites don't have all those options . Lots of good reviews on Toytec's customer service also. I was lucky to be friends with a mechanic who put everything on for only $275. All the reviews I read were $300 - $600 for install. Then you need an alignment. I looked in Sundays paper and found a coupon, $150 for life time alignments.

 

Code Gray, what size tires are those? 285 or 265? Thanks.
