Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

Nope

 

Huh, I was unaware of that. Thanks, good to know.

 

If they are its news to me , I'll put it that way , but OME specs different packs for the two

 

Gotcha.

I thought I'd read somewhere that 1st gen Taco, 1st gen Tundra, and 2nd gen Taco leafs were all interchangeable.

 

I just installed my suspension over the weekend. I did not install the kit yet. I wanted to see if I had a vibration. I got the alignment like 2 hours ago and don't notice any vibration at freeway speeds. I do feel something at lower speeds but I can't tell yet if is just the road transmitting through the stiff suspension.

 

Anybody run these yet? Just saw for first time today. BP51 is nomenclature.

 

Theres a thread on them

 

My bad, Oz.

No foul , just saying theres a thread where you might find some more info on them

 

Would.

 

Pricey little fuckers tho.

 

Thanks. Looks like there's not any solid info yet, just folks arguing about pricepoint and marketing. I'm not in market, just noticed those when perusing Wheeler's site earlier today. Thought I may try and educate myself on whether those may compete with Icon and the ilk.

 

Yeah they are as much or more than resi icon/fox/king. OME trying to break into the higher end market I guess.

 

Yup. They've got a big enough fan base that I'm surprised it took them this long.

 

I'm sure a lot of R&D time, plus going after a new marketshare is a pretty big business decision.

 

I personally think they should be trying to make adjustable coilovers at a more reasonable price than the big three. They would rake in the money. Why buy expensive OMEs when you can buy from companies with time tested products?

 

Quick question,

I'm running an OME lift I picked up from a guy for $800. Consiting of

886x front coils
Daker rear leaf springs
Drivers side shim
4 nitrochargers shocks

Broken in now and with a ~100lb bumper.
The rear measured at 26"
The front measured at 24"

What can I do to lift the front more to level this out?

 

Yeah I'm in the market for UCA's.

Also thinking of adding my adjustable 5100s up front and setting them to level it. Not sure if that would workout with the 886x springs though

 

Maybe its just the fact that I have a topper/weight in the back but I am sitting levelish with the same set up with 200 pounds up front so this seems odd? the 886 coils should give you plenty of lift to match the dakars even with the added front weight. Not helpful I know but was wondering if someone can chime in on it.
