Question on the OME suspension lift..

Fienoma · 06-09-2009, 10:22 PM

I'm pretty new to this lifting thing..lol i'm not sure if im wording this right but i was wondering if the kit could be taken outta the box and installed without having to buy any other parts needed for the lift besides UCA's..

johnecon2001 · 06-09-2009, 10:46 PM

did everyone get taken care of...?
sorry for slackin and not seeing this post..

Fienoma · 07-02-2009, 03:52 PM

i'm having trouble on which set to settle for..The Toytec Ultimate lift Kit or the OME suspension lift..i was wondering if you could help me out with what the big difference is from bilstien and OME..or why ones better than the other.. Thanks

The OME shocks are a lower pressure, larger oil volume shock. The dissipate heat better than the Bilstien shocks, which have a higher pressure, lower iron volume.

The springs are also different spring rates and lengths (but I don't remember numbers so good).

The Ultimate kit is adjustable height in front, where the OME is not.

And I think that covers it at a very basic level. More will follow I'm sure.

Iron in the bilstiens is not an issue.

The Toytec kit uses a 600# spring rate, while the OME springs are rated at 590# (884 & 885), and a 650# (886).

Yeah......The OME 885's are about 15.5" long, and the one on the Toytec kit (Eibach) are about 16" long.

Congrates on Today, Buddy!

I'm sorry i'm really new to this..but what is the spring rate?

Brunes · 07-03-2009, 11:51 AM

Spring rate is a measure of spring stiffness....It a number that indicates the amount of weight needed to compress the spring a certain distance...

Higher spring rates tend to indicate rougher ride.
