My 1998 reg. cab now with old man emu kit from toytec

-Old man emu springs/shocks kit with spacers. Supposed to be 3 inches. Plus trim packer.
-Toytec add a leaf 2 inch plus Toytec adjustable shackles set at the middle for 1.5 inches.
-Diff drop kit 1 inch but not really as we know it lowers the actual diff less than that.
-32 inch bf goodrich all terrains. 33 inch all terrains on mint second gen 16 inch steelies to come.
-Powertrax no-slip rear locker to come.

I got more than 3 inches in the front. More like 3.5. The springs are 881s and they are nice. stiffer than stock but very streetable. Same for the rear. Of course it is a single cab 4 cylinder with just an aluminum toolbox and a trailer hitch.. The nitrochargers ride nice, too.

I think I'm going to put the shackles on the third setting.

Oh and I'm going to have to relocate my exhaust slightly.

Oh and I like this front end so much more than 01-05

 

Are your front spacers Toytec?

 

Yes, from this kit: http://toyteclifts.3dcartstores.com/Old-Man-Emu-Tacoma-suspension_p_225.html

It doesn't actually list the size of the spacer separately. I haven't measured it but I think it's 1/2 inch.

 

Thanks for the link, man. Just put an OME on my truck, but I think I need spacers to bump the front end up level with the rear.

 

Weird, I needed more in the rear and had to add shackles to do so. I figure your truck is a little heaver? v6?

 

It's a 2.7 but I got the HD OME kit, since I'm planning on a plate bumper and winch soon.

 

what kind of lift do you have in the back? dakars?

 

^^ Yeah ^^

 

Yeah they lift the rear more than the add a leaf I have, but I also have the shackles set at 1.5 inches. So I should have 3.5 in the rear... Weird because you have the heavier coils... 882's? I would think you would have more lift in the front. Either way though if you add the spacers in you're going to have to disassemble your coils again :/
