OME superchargers & Down travel

Does anyone know if you gain any down travel out of OME superchargers paired with SPC UCA’s or similar?

 

Maybe a little. Like max 1". That's all any "extended travel" shock setup will give you. But there are other factors that can limit how much extra down travel you get.

A good video on the subject. https://youtu.be/_68Hc8GtLko

 

Ohhhh Nitrochargers


I was wondering what superchargers had to do with suspension travel lol

 

Haha didn’t catch that one, he’ll yeah superchargers!

 

That’s a great video, learned a little bit there. Thanks! So are the nitro chargers in fact “extended travel” trying to weed through all the advertising right now.

 

While that is a great video, keep in mind that he is not talking about a 3rd gen Tacoma. There might be some differences in shock extended and collapsed lengths.

 

I have a 2nd Gen.

 

Excuse me. He’s not taking about a Tacoma any gen; not specifically anyway. There is a lot of overlap though.

 

There isn't. All 2nd gen and 3rd gen Tacoma's have the exact same IFS parts. The only difference is the factory spring rate, the 3rd gens are heavier up front.

 

Oh okay I see. Thanks

 

From my quick research, no. It actually looks like they are slightly shorter in length. Factory is 22.17" extended. OME Nitrochargers are 21.38" extended.

 

The more I research the more I learn and unsure I become because of it lol. My suspension is about shot in my 2015 Tacoma. I figured it’s worth upgrading when I replace it. I moderately off road and usually run into good ruts. But it’s also a daily driver. Not sure what the hell to do. Thanks for the input though!

 

Watch the other tinkerers adventure videos. They are full of good info.

 

I misspoke thinking I was responding to a 3rd gen post. Tinkerer’s adventure videos are full of great info, but not all of it is applicable to a Tacoma any gen.

 

Suspension is complicated af lol. Something with adjustable compression like Fox 2.0 with adjusters might be a good route to go. That will give you the adjustability to go from road to off road and not have to compromise on either. But it's probably best just to talk to one of the shops that specialize in it and they can recommend something that fits your needs. Accutune or Headstrong Off Road are 2 of the go-to's here if you're in the US.
