ORI-Struts Available from BAMF

The interest has been high for these so i went ahead and pre ordered a few sets to get the ball rolling for the guys that will be wanting to order some in the next few weeks.

 

Sweet, have you heard if they got their machines up?

My order still stands

 

Your bodies are at anodizing right now they just sent a bunch off and i think they got the machines all up and running.

 

These are sweet. Making me wish I didn't live all the way in Florida here!

 

UPS does ship to Florida

 

Good point i just gotta get a nitrogen tank and figure out a nitrogen source here between school and work sometime soon lol

 

Any welding gas supply should have everything you need.

 

hmm, how big a tank are you using? Also, will the 8" strut work if i plan on going LT in the future or would i then need the 10"?

 

I have two 76 cuft bottles here in the shop but I run 4 struts on my rig 2 14's and 2 16's and I've been messing around with spring rates and I fill other shocks so i use a lot of gas. A 20 or 40 cuft should be plenty for you guys. As for the LT I would have to know what the extended length of full droop would be to know if the 8's or the 10's would be best for you.

 

Update

I just got an email yesterday from ORI the prices are going up tomorrow across the board. The Kit will now be $1300.00 I have 3 black sets on order at the lower price so the next 3 orders will be at the lower price if $1200.00

 

Hey guys, putting together a thread for the guys that run these so we can share experiences, spring rates, etc with the general mass to help folks decide to buy them. So if you've got em, show em off in here. http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/bay-area-metal-fabrication/291806-ori-struts-experience.html
I'll be updating it when I get mine, hopefully next week

 

I'd love to see one of these setup for a 1st gen (or 3rd gen 4runner). However, I don't see the beneficial factor of switching to these from, for example, my 2.5" 650lb Sway-a-ways. You'd have to strap it to limit the down travel, so what's the point? I don't know a lot about the ORI's, but I'm sure for those running long travel these would work best.

 

Why do you have to run limit straps for those?

 

I think he meant for the ORI's you'd have to running straps not the SAW's.

 

video is uploading today from yesterday. ( will be live at the link below )

yea sorry, worded it weird. For the ORI's not the SAW's.

 

Ahh i see you have to limit the down travel with the ORI's because the UCA will bind because of the added droop.

 

Looks good, but holy crap, your body is just bouncing around on the frame mounts.

 

hahaha time for a new Uniball and body mount lol, maybe check your torque on that too

any numbers on up and down travel??

 

Looks interesting.. Sub'd
