OK kinda confused on something

so im thinking on doing 5100's all around. and getting ome 885's for the front of my truck. if i do this what would i need to set the 5100's at in order to get a full 3 inch lift up front? and would i need any spacers? ok now onto the rear. would the toytec AAL add enough lift to make the rear even with the front? thanks guys

 

The max I'd set the 5100's to would be .85". That combined with the 885's would give you approx. 3" of lift IIRC. For the rear a Toytec 1.5" or 2" AAL would be good for the back.

 

I wonder if it would be more worth your while to get the ome front shocks too.... the ome coils actually give you the lift. So the 5100's might be futile.

 

yeah right now im in between the OME lift kit or getting 5100's all around i just dont know ive read these boards alot and i still cant make up my mind

 

I have the billies and wish I would have got the ome lift. It would have give me a real 3 inch lift.

If i had a redo I would have done this....

ome coils
ome shocks/struts
light racing uca's
1/4 spacer for driver side taco lean
tsb 1.5 inch aal


but thats just me

 

whats this taco lean? im guessing one side sags alittle more then the other?

 

driver+full gas tank+battery=heavy left side

I don't think the ome coils are side specific... chris 4x4 will know if you need to get the spacer or not...

 

not to thread jack or anything, but with the taco lean spacer corrector from Toytec: , do I need 3 longer mount bolts for the top of the front strut?

 

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification Chris.

On Wheelers, it says the 885's give 1.75" of lift... I assumed that with the coils would be close to 3".

 

I am not sure about this question.... I would go and look at the studs right not and measure how much length you have to play with... and if its more than the spacer you will need them.

 

Got it, thanks again for clearing that up!

 

I did 5100's on all 4 corners. TSB and fronts set at 2.5, I however got 2.75 lift with stock springs. Read here http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/suspension/104199-my-5100-install.html#post1998313

 

When I was looking at the OME springs from Wheelers they said that those numbers for the 884, 885 and 886 were not correct and just haven't updated them.

 

Lol how hard would it be to update their information???

 

What do you have now? Why would you have gotten the OME kit instead? I am also looking at lifting my truck and I think I want the toytec ultimate kit.
