OME UCA's?

You just use the stock washers you had

 

is that the stock sway bar? any contact with the coilover at full travel?

 

Only one way to find out lol... i got the eibach coilovers and mine came with the seat bar spacers

 

Looks like you have really little preload, how much lift you get from these? Mine came with only 5mm but the manual says they would come with 20mm. Doesn’t make sense lol

 

Stock sway bar but OME gives you spacers to install. No rubbing.

 

I have them at the factory setting.
Works perfect for 33s, but I have the stock front bumper and no winch.
Whenever I finally damage my front bumper on a trail I will replace and add a winch and add more pre-load for the weight.
I am not willing to diminish ride quality for the aesthetic of another inch in lift.

 

Just wanted to provide an update.
The bushings on the UCA bolts failed on on these and were causing a terrible noise/clunk.
ARB had me new bushings 2 days after I emailed them.
For what it is worth I have put about 90k on them and lots of wheeling on Colorado trails.
Still happy with the purchase.

 

Sounds about right for heavy duty usage, after all bushings are a life-limited part. Are they pressed in bushings?

 

They are pressed in and super tricky to get out.
I bought hydraulic shop press but can't figure out how to get them out since you have to push from the inside out.
I'm going to see if I can just send them in for ARB to rebuild.

 

Maybe they could do a exchange for a new pair. Alternatively a brand new pair costs around 500, id say thats a better deal than trying to spend on tooling and time just my opinion on it however.

 

I tried, they wouldn't.
I was actually surprised honestly.
I'm going to try to send them in for them to rebuild them.
If they say no I'll just buy new ones.

 

can a standard ball joint press not be used?

 

It's the bushings in the arm that failed not the ball joint.

 

Oh...I totally misread that. Still seems like you should be able to get them out and replace. Lots of heat and patience...

 

Scissor jack between the bushings with sockets or ball joint press cups pressing on the bushings.

 

Does anyone use these with 255/85r16s and factory wheels? I have the Trail Edition rims with the 255 tires and I'm thinking of getting these OMEs in the future because I found out JBAs won't clear the 255 tires (with factory wheels) according to their website.

 

I would like to think you would be fine but I can't say as I had -12 offset wheels when I put these ucas on.
