OME Lift-Height Statistics (Center-Hub to Fender)

There is no advantage to them , unlike on 1st gens , installing them on 2nd gens only rotates the diff and results in almost no reduction in CV angles

 

gotcha

 

i was worried about my CV angles, but i can always lower my diff down an inch again to compensate for a 3/4" lift. I had the diff drop on there earlier, and it lowered my CV angles. As I lower the diff an inch, i can see the CVs drop, so the kit is definitely doing something on my 2nd Gen.

I removed the diff drop, because it banged into something while I was off-roading. The OEM skid plate gave way like a tin can and the bottom ring plate thing of one of the diff mounts dented up on the edge. I was pretty lucky, because there was no major damage.

Oz, the diff drop may not do a considerable amount, but definitely see the difference when I use it. the reason a lot of people are against it, is because it places the mounts lower than the brackets that run along the sides of them and into harm's way. Relentless fabrication makes a skid plate that will accomodate the drop, so that will take care of my situation.

 

ok here it is..

Vehicle/ OME specs
01 DC TRD v6 150k mi Cooper Discover ATR 265/75/16 on stock alloys
881's (used)
Nitrocharger Sports
10 mm lift enhancer
5mm trim packer on driver's side

Measurements:
front driver: before - 20 3/4", after - 24 3/8", ground to fender - 39 1/4"
front pass.: before - 20 1/2", after - 24", ground to fender - 38 7/8"

I don't think it's gonna settle much as the coils were used by JDMcQ on his '03 DC for like 2yrs

 

An inch drop lowers the CVs at least half an inch. Makes a difference if i'm gonna add another 3/4" lift

Thanks OZ...that one pic really shows the placement of the axels. I thought they were closer to the center of the diff, but they're almost at the very rear. Watching the CVs rotate forward from underneath as I dropped the diff must have given me the illusion of the CVs lowering a substantial amount. I stand corrected.

 

Driver Rear: 24 1/8"
Pass Rear: 24 1/4"

Installed about a month ago, no heavy off roading yet.

Directions please to the thread on the front OME lift.

*Edit: Just realized I posted this to the wrong thread.

 

2012 AC V6 4x4 with 885's and 1/4" top plate spacers.
Front. hub to fender: 23.25-23.5

Gave me around 3.25" lift up front..

Without the spacers I was at 22.5" and 22.75"

 

885x: 24 3/4"/24 3/4" (1/4" Spacer on Driver's side)
Spacers: Yes (1/2" Toytec)
Model: DCLB (Prerunner)
aftrMrkt: None
Coil Age: Bought used (Mileage unknown)

Back has factory 3 leaf with Wheeler 1 1/2" AAL and 1 1/2" block.
Rear measurement is 26" on both sides.

 

I only measured driver side.

Dakar leaf pack with 3rd leaf from top removed (per ARB): Rear Driver 23 3/8th

And knowing people usually wnat the front when they ask for the back and the back when they ask for the front:

Front set up:
OME 885 with .25" top spacer (not the .5") = 23 7/16

 

So for those of us not very strong with fractions... I am 1/16th of an inch lower in the rear.

 

Post your rear measurements in my Dakar thread

 

Done. Sorry that is where I thought I was. My bad
