Old man Emu

Anyone had a lot of experience with OME? I am looking to get an ome suspension system. I have heard good things but looking for more information from those who currently have them. Pics would be appreciated if you have them.

I've got 886/N140S up front, Dakar/N182's out back. Rides great. Previously I had 885's and it rode even better. But I need the 886's for the extra weight up front.

Thanks for the help guys. Guess I'll be going with the 886 up front (getting bull bar as well). I found http://www.cruiseroutfitters.com/sus_Tacoma2.html
Is that priced pretty well or are there better deals out there for this system?

You can compare it to Wheelers Offroad, seems that Wheelers might be a little cheaper. Plus if you call and order all at once they might give you a discount. I'd suggest getting some of the "5 mm trim packers" to help level the front drivers side lean. I ended up putting two on the drivers side and it leveled it out nicely.

Im also running Total Chaos UCA's in the font. In the back, I have the TSB springs and an AAL, with Bilstien 5100 shocks. Not sure why your ride is rough. Are you sure you got the 885's and not the 886's?

I had a local spring shop make them for me. We weighed each corner of the truck, determined how much lift I wanted and what I carry in the bed/tow behind the truck. It came out PERFECT. Put a little more arch on the driver side to help with any leaning from the gas tank, me and whatever else is on the driver side.
