Lift Questions

Hey there,

Just got a 2006 TRD Sport DCLB and I want to slap a 3" lift on it.

I've done lots of reading and it seems that OME is good lift that will suit me.
90% of driving will be on roads and hwys. I will offroad ocassionally on weekends.

My first question is do I want 884 or 885 coils? I will not be adding weight to my front end. Do both coils require a spacer to achieve a true 3" lift.
(I plan on getting LR UCA with the group buy)

And my big question.
Do I want the OME shocks or should I get Billy 5100's?
From what I gather 5100s can be run at 0 lift with OME coils.

I was thinking of getting these. &

Instead of getting the entire OME kit for 734.99

and what is a front diff drop? Do i need it?

EVERYONE PLEASE HELP ME OUT AND POST YOUR OPINIONS!!!

btw my budget is about $1000.00
If you know of something better lmk

Thanks guys,
Travis

 

885's and 1/4" top plate spacers , OME 5mm trim packer for driver's side , OME shocks front and rear , 2" AAL

Get the OME CB drop , skip the diff drop

 

Where could I get a OME CB drop? Cant find it on toytec.

Also you think getting toytec to assemble the coils/shocks with new bushings is worth the 100.00? I will def make the install abit easier

 

Are you installing this yourself ? Do you have access to a spring compressor ?

 

Oh , and Welcome to TW

 

subd... also looking into this

Yeah I plan on installing it myself.
How hard is it?

I lowered my colorado that required me to compress coils, and I dont want to rent that thing again. I cant imagine this lift would be too much harder.

What makes OME shocks superior to the 5100's?

 

You can go with the 5100's but you can't use the OME driver's side trim packer with them

Get the coils assembled

Also if you are going to go OME , you can get a good deal from OUIPACK , and not pay huge shipping and brokerage

 

Why would the OME trim packer not work with the 5100's? I think that when you get the Toytec kit it give a trim packer, is this another brand of packer or? If i can find somewhere to get all or almost all the components for what i want in canada i am going to go that route.

Also if using 5100's are the stock bushings used?

 

The OME trim packer only works with OME shocks , it mounts below the coils seat , the lean spacer for the 5100's goes at the top

You can use the 1/4" top plate spacer with both the 5100's and the OME shocks , but you cannot use the OME trim packer with anything but the OME shocks

 

Thanks OZ I was in the process of ordering the OME and saw this post where you mentioned the CB drop so I added that too. So I have the CB drop the trim packer, complete ome kit 885, no diff drop, 1.5AAl for TSB hope thats everything.

 

Interesting.

You are the first person I've heard of on here with a bad experience with OUIPACK

 

Do the vendors you listed sell OME in Canada ?

 

Nice

I actually ordered my full OME 885 / Dakar lift through Cap-it in BC

 

I was just looking at the same thing from ToyTec. Can you post some pics when done? Are you still planning to set the 5100's at 0? I'm wanting to level mine, but moderate lift about 2" (i.e. 5100's at 0) for a good ride and no preload.

 

Ninety and myself went with OME 885's with the top plate for a full 3"
