    Do you like high speed or creepy crawly stuff?

    I find that OME is better suited to slower stuff. Need them bling bling shocks for the fast stuff.





    I'm only somewhat kidding :D

    Well, I was always told, "If it's yellow, might as well be pink." So...


    Very hard for me to not spray paint the OME shocks

    This is why I decided to go with 6112's over the OME kit.

    Okay. Finally installed my kit a few weeks ago, stock Dakar pack out back and 885's up front, OME shocks all around. I have the leaf packs with the anti-noise kit. Only vibes I'm getting are a small shudder at takeoff, and possibly some low speed vibes to about 20ish mph. I did not put the carrier bearing spacer in yet. Think that will fix it?

    There's one sure way to find out.

    Off the top of your head, can anyone tell me if I'm going to have to or "should" replace my u-bolts if I plan to replace my Dakar bushings?

    I didn't bother with it. But I haven't really felt any vibes. Probably because our roads are shit and I couldn't tell if I'm hitting a pot hole or my wheel is about to fall off.

    Put it in and give it a go. Report back your findings.

    I had the shudder from takeoff after lift. Installed 3 degree axle shim and flushed transmission at the same time and filled to proper level. It's about 95% gone. No other shudder at any speed.

    I think you're supposed to replace them any time you undo them. I have followed this rule with my Tacoma but not with my 85. I have those things off and on all the time. I torque them to spec and they're fine. So I'm not sure :D

    Maybe if they're old you should replace them.

    Maybe > 6 months, probably not. 2 years +, sure why not.

    I didn't replace mine this past weekend when I put on the Deaver AALs. But they looked to be in great shape and little, if any, stretch in the threads.
    All bolts/nuts were torqued to impact gun strength :D
