Nice! I'll def be checkin it out again lol

I'm not sure if 4WP has OME springs :/ I'm ready to buy some 885s and an aal.. Just trying to talk myself out of it right now lol

 

they do carry the ome lift, i got my dakars through them
Oh and is 1112 Kapahulu avenue the right address for recon?

 

If it's underneath the freeway, that's the one.

 

I think it is. The entrance is on Kapahulu under the freeway across from Market city
Foodland.

 

Right now everything is $260+shipping from wheelers offroad.. You think it be cheaper than that at truckfest?

 

thats for the OME spring and AAL for the rear? thats a pretty good deal. i remember paying $300 back in 09

 

Ya but only one 1/4" spacer.. If I get a 1/2" spacer with longer top plate studs then it brings it up to $300..

 

oh i see...idk if theyll offer those at truckfest, so even if you get a decent deal on the springs and aal, youll still have to source those out and pay for shipping anyways. i know a few guys got there lift from 4wheelparts so maybe theyll chime in

 

I see.. It's already pretty cheap and I'm debating on just ordering it already lol

 

I ordered my dakars and 886x springs and shocks from 4wp, but installed myself. Their cheap slow boat shipping came out to the best option when I did it last year.

 

How long did it take to come in?

 

did you order it through truck fest? anyone know if I will be able to shop around for some deals on a ome kit at truck fest? I can wait and if anything, there's a TW discount on Toytec if there isn't any. Just that shipping's a b!+€#.

I read someone a while back in this thread got a kit for ~900, wondering if it's from 4wp...

 

Truck Fest is the cheapest way to get a suspension shipped here,or any heavy item for our trucks. I was told 8% of the total would be the shipping charge. The downside is you will probably wait 4-6 weeks for their container to arrive. I ordered a full OME
set up with Dakars, LR UCA'S,and all new bushings,u-bolts,brackets and the shipping
from Oregon via USPS 3 day priority mail was $440.00 from Wheelers Off Road. The same order on the 4WParts boat would have been $180.00. I guess it depends on how long you can wait and how much you got to spend.

 

Just to make sure.. What are you gonna use for your 885s? They can't go on the stock TED shocks. should either go on some 5100s or the OME shocks.

 

Im on 5100s now set at 1.75" but I want to sit just a smooch higher lol

 

that sounds like a good deal, you should get it. btw i passed my recon with my stock wheels, guy was super cool.

 

884s (on a slightly lighter front-end pre) got me right about 2.25".
If I could give you a little advice, get the extended strut bolts (separate or included with the 10mm/13mm spacers) and put those on when you add in the 885s... That way if (down the road, needing a smooch more) you do want to add in the 10mm or 13mm spacer you only have to drop the strut and put those on rather than need to disassemble the strut yet another time to add them in.

I wish I did that when I did my 884s.. when I added in the 13mm spacer I needed to disassemble the entire thing.

 

ive been on trd sport shocks and 885s for years now. only disadvantage is my shocks length limits my travel, which isnt too bad. never had any problems off roading

 

What made you decide to go with the 884s?

 

Are wheel spacers passable for recon or gotta take em off?
