Budget Suspension Help

Looking to order Budget to Medium priced Suspension System for my '19 TRD Off-Road.

I am looking at the OEM 2" Medium Kit. I am not planning to add a front Bumper or Winch. I have ordered a Mobtown Rear Bumper w/Swing Out.

I am open to any advice about the OME System or any other System in that $1200-2000 range.

Also, do I need to add/upgrade my Front UCA's ??

You mean OME right?

 

Yup...

 

i have an old mand emu lift with heavy dakar leafs. I like the kit, especially for the price. I will say the dakars do squeak, but it is what it is for me. I had the 887s, and they were nice. Ill say the 886s do pop from time to time, which has made me want to spend more and get kings. I think without weight in the front you will like it on the medium duty.

 

Thanks Man, appreciate the info...

 

You dont need UCAs

 

Are new UCA's only needed if you go above a certain height??

 

Yes, past 3” is the common threshold I see posted.

 

Check out Dobinsons lift kits. In your price range and seem to have better reviews then OME.

 

Thank for the info.. Don't really know anything about Dobinsons, but both seem to compare..

 

If you can wait, get Bilstein 6112/5160 with dakars for under 1700 from @HeadStrong Off-Road. The only problem is that they are on national backorder .

 

What a great site! Tooooo much to drool over!!!!

 

Grease them, it will stop.

 

OME 888 with med Dakars

 

With that swing out bumper you’ll definitely want the HD Dakars. I have B110 Bilstein (they’re just extended 5100s) and they dampen that heavy pack very well.... if you like to match things up, you could go with 5100s in the front with an OME spring too - just another option.

 

Looks great. What tire size did you go with and did you need wheel spacers?

 

That looks awesome! Exactly what I am looking for!

@doorsidedown Do I absolutely need the HD's ??
What would they be like to deal with on a daily basis commuting every day ???

 

I would start with HD and if you don’t like it, you can pull a leaf to make it the medium duty pack - less expensive that way... however - that rear bumper is like 170lbs (not including the tire or any other accessories) - it should ride like a dream.

I have HDs and I don’t have any “constant” weight but I do haul a few heavy loads here and there that makes me happy I got the HD right off the bat.

Keep in mind - this is all my opinion, and ride quality is very subjective.

 

@doorsidedown appreciate the info! Going to go with the HD's ..... What about front Springs??? I don't plan to add a Front Bumper or Winch..... But.... You guys know this stuff tends to lead to other future mods!

 

OP did you purchase already? If not PM me.
