Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

Ya I have been emailing with her on this lift and all my silly questions. She always gets back to me quickly and is extremely helpful. That's why whatever I end up on will be purchased from HS

 

From what I read they shouldn't be a issue

 

I think the rake would just be awful with Dakars and 884's.
So I go with 885's and hope rake is not so bad with bed loaded or go 887's and do UCA's too.

Tearing up driveshafts every year does not sound fun to me.

 

Yeah, 10mm doesn't seem like a lot but could end up making for some good rake. Good luck with whatever you end up getting

 

Thanks for your help! Going to use your idea and remove a leaf from the Dakars and go with the 885's and no UCA's.

 

Yup... TacomaWorld - The free site that ends up costing an average of 5k haha!!!

 

Any of you use Wheeler's bushings over OME Bushings.
Been looking at Wheeler's, Rocky Road and just heard about Headstrong.

 

I am using wheelers bushings for both ends of the leaf pack. No issues or anything

 

90000 or 90021?
I have stock bilstein that were a little stiff from what I was told and did not mind them.
Are the 90000 stiffer than the bilstein's and/or do you like the ride of the 90021 better?

 

Here's a pic of my truck with 884s and 3/4 inch top plate spacer. I've got a 1.5 inch

For anyone who has been on the fence about getting OME kit see GB happening. I have been looking at this thread constantly and feel that OME Heavy Kit is the way to go for my needs. If there is anything that I'm missing that I should get (like UCA's), your input is appreciated!

Wow some of you must have gotten off cheap.....

 

I'm just talking about the shocks

No Over Speed Bump Goes Clank with the 5100's

Yeah I been reading that GB,I asked if I can get 887 coils instead and if I add UCA'S if I get the discount.also need spring bushings I think

 

I bought my OME lift from Low Range last year. I asked about swapping the kit for 887s, they said it was a no go because the light and heavy kits came from ARB prepackaged... I wouldn't get my hopes up about them be willing to swap 885/886 for 887.

I pieced my own kit together through them and it actually came out cheaper than they were selling the entire lift package for.

 

That doesn't make sense, 885s and 887s have the same spring rate. What am I missing?

 

They do. But 887 is slightly taller.

885/887 = 590lbs

886 = 660lbs

 

I tried to order the light kit last year and swap the 885s with 887s. Low Range said they couldn't do that because ARB shipped the kits directly and couldn't swap coils.

So I pieced my kit together with 887s... And ended up paying less than the kit price. And less than the current GB price.
