Not to beat a dead horse, but... (OME lift)

Any reason I should not purchase this complete kit? From what I understand, OME nitrochargers are slightly higher quality than 5100's, correct? If that puts this lift in the mid quality category I'll be happy. I'm not quite ready to drop the cash on an ICON or Fox setup. (And probably never will, to answer the "save up" comments )

Thanks in advance!

 

Basically, lift quality goes in this general order. Some packages go out of the norm.

OME is pretty mid quality. Most people on here are happy with their packages.

Nothing wrong with that kit at all. A lot of people run that setup and many people beat the hell out of it, they seem to hold up pretty well.

Wheeler's is a great place to get them from too, can't go wrong there.

 

Thanks guys. And this includes everything I would need.. I wouldn't need UCA's to comfortably align 265's right?

 

You won't have a ton of issues, but they recommend new UCA's for any lift over 2" I believe. I would look into light racing UCA's they are cheap.

 

I'd go through @HeadStrong Off-Road myself.

They'll likely price that kit better, and you'll know up front what it costs - not the mystery price until you get your invoice with your parts.

 

You do not need aftermarket UCA's for that kit.

 

still recommended though.

 

Icon should be on the top of that list then right after King.

 

I love Icon but I've heard ADS is basically the same quality as King.

 

Then...
Icon
King
ADS

 

Lol I thought everybody was in agreement King was best quality. I haven't been in a 4runner with King so I can't compare to my Icons.

 

There is virtually no material benefit to adding aftermarket UCA's to this kit. It would be a waste of money in my opinion.

 

I had the same amount of lift with my 5100's in my tacoma and my stock UCA contacted the coil springs when articulated.

 

The only difference is color and the way they come set but Icon are amazing and customer service is even better. As far as quality to say one is better is ridiculous haha

 

Interesting. You didn't happen to get a pic of that did you?

 

Icon's are digressively valved and kings are progressively valved. Actually a pretty big difference!

 

Icon has great customer service? Guess that depends on who you ask.


ADS and KING are identical internally, FWIW.

 

I did not I don't have the truck any more

 

Nice. I'm planning on getting the trail teams too (graphite)
