    I have never seen Old Man Emu leaf springs for a first gen (95-04) Tacoma at 1.5 lift with an overload spring. $340 a pair, or each? Can you provide a link? How many leafs in the pack? What is the weight capacity?

    Yeah, dunno, poster is vague and unresponsive. OME Dakars with a 2.25 lift are 340 at Wheelers...and require a bucket load of extra hardware because they are lifted offroad springs, not stock replacements...not quite on topic....oooooh, look, we have matching sigs....Doh!

    Yeah, I am familar with the Dakar product they offer, but they seem to still be lift springs, not stock/clost to stock height, and I don't see where they offer anything along the same lines as the Wheeler's replacements.

    My earlier response to the other poster was for further clarification. The poster made a claim, but provided no concrete information about who has and sells the specific product at that price. :notsure:

    When you go to the ARB site and specify our truck, it just provides a bunch of marketing claptrap, and no specific parts/models.

    The closet thing I found that matched the price were the OME Dakars on the Wheeler's site, which are 2.25 lift for $340, + extra lift-related hardware.

    BTW, Tacomajack, are you the one who scored those used coils and Billies the other day? ;)

    Is $100 a good deal for Billie 5100 Rear shocks with 12k miles on them, shipped?

    So basically, it's not the greatest deal. What would you guys pay for Rear billies with 12k on them? Include shipping.

    The OME Dakar springs for a 1997 Tacoma do not fit, the axle pin is 1-1 1/2" forward of the original location and Toytec will try to get you to get the CS019R for the older Toyota trucks. Will not work either "at all". I will be getting the Wheelers or Skyjackers for a sure fit for my 97 Taco.
    WARNING: Watch TOYTEC close

    I trusted that TOYTEC new it all. Not so, you must study yourself and I am building this 1997 from scratch. I am a mechanical engineering tech. by the way and know what works the way it should and what does not. I will be updating my build and will post it all for others knowledge and to save others as many headaches as possible.
