    Do you have any of the "older" springs in stock? That's a big concern for a lot of folks looking to install the OME kits.

    Will a OME 886 coil fit/work on my 2012 Baja shock. The inside diameter of the coils that are on there now is 3". The outside diameter of the shock is 2.5." Since I added so much weight I am trying to figure out is I could swap out the coil.

    They wont work on the Baja shocks because they use coils that are flat on both ends. You need Eibach coils.

    ???????....Tomorrow is install day for Dakars and extras. Just looking for input if I've forgotten anything or suggestions on install tricks, etc. I've search here and read a ton (Thanks for all the info!). All existing hardware has been being treated with PB Blaster for a few days.

    Here's the list of parts I have:

    Dakars w/aal

    All-Pro u-bolt flip kit w/Timbren bumps

    Wheelers bushing kit

    Bilstein shocks

    ToyTec extended brake lines (already installed)

    Any info is greatly appreciated!

    One side at a time.
    Install the front of the Dakars first.
    4 jack stands. Two for truck & two for the axle. Use bottle jack under front of diff to keep it from rotating.
    An extra set of hands to slide the bolts in.

    Just finished my OME today...i did the AAL with the 3degree shims. It seems like the Ubolts are a little short...there is only about 2 threads showing. Is this normal or do I need to get longer Ubolts?
