N140S shocks any testimonies?

JGUT · 10-02-2008, 10:56 PM

I'm running the stock TRD shocks and I've noticed since the lift the ride is pretty rough when hitting almost all bumps in the road. The guys from toytech lifts recommend to replace the front shocks with OME N140S shocks for the best ride.

So anybody got them and noticed a difference? I'm wondering if it's worth shelling out another $300 in parts and who know's what in labor. I would do it if there's a big difference.

First time I've had a lifted truck and I love it, just would love a smoother ride. Thanks for the help.

do u have the 885 ome coil lift kit? How bad is the ride?

JGUT · 10-03-2008, 03:06 AM

Yes I have the 885 3" with med coils and AAL's. For me it's pretty bad. The truck shakes rattles and rolls on bumps. I have the flip out DVD/CD receiver and I'm scared it's gonna break with the shaking. My friends at work recommend to me to get shocks at the same time I got the lift.

I decided to stick with stocks since I read here that they would work with the lift.

get all 4 shocks replaced with the OME's .

it still might be a bit stiff in the rear due to the AAL but will be worlds beyond what your living with now.

Get the OME shocks. I have them and there is a BIG difference between those and the factory Bilstiens. They are designed to work with those coils. You won't regret it.

But you'll still have a stiff ride out back with the AAL.

I have the OME 885's and the N140S shocks and I cant tell the difference between when it was stock, except it takes hits MUCH better, and is super plush off road.

I could tell. Sold my 885's to a friend and we used them with factory Bils.. rode like shit.

Thanks for the info guys. Now since I'm kinda of on a budget after just putting out $2,500 for the lift, tires and wheels would it be cool just to replace the front shocks for now? Or should I save up and replace all four?

obviously all 4 would be best. But if you can only afford to do two, the front two would be my choice to do first. The rears are very easy to replace and can be done without too much effort, unlike the fronts (remove/compress/replace/alignment/etc)
