OME lift help.

Hi Guys,

Just bought an OME lift, its not installed yet and I have a few questions/concerns that i need some advice for.

any advice is greatly appreciated


First off the kit I bought:
- OME 90000 nitrocharger sport front shocks
- OME Niteocharger rear shick absorbers
- 884 Coils
- 1. 5 inch Add a leaf for rear (I already have the TSB)
- 5mm Trim plate for Driver Side Lean
1/2 inch Top Plate Spacer
Diff Drop Kit (really dont want to use it)

2nd my Truck:
- 2012 TRD Offroad (Trail Teams edition)
- Access Cab
- Canadian Truck (ie TSB)
- the tire size i want to run 265/75r16 (currently stock 265/70r16)

3rd what i want:
- level the truck and lift it a bit, but not a crazy amount.
- keep a slight rake in the rear
- run 1 size bigger tire

4th my concerns:

if I put all of this in to get the full 3 inch lift, im concerned about the top plate spacers and how they will do offroad? I dont do anything hardcore offroad but i certainly do mild to moderate offroading. also concerned with how still the top plate spacer will make the ride quality? and im really concerned with have to install a diff drop, the whole point of my lifting is to gain clearance not take it away.

I have also considered not putting in the spacers and add a leafs and just the coils and to level the truck and putting on the bigger tires (265/75r16) but im then concerned it will be nose high or perfectly level. i need a slight rake in the rear.


Thanks for the help!

 

I have the top plate spacers on my truck to get the full 3"s of lift but you dont have to use them but if you dont you will only get about 2.5"s of lift. As for ride quality I dont think the TPS will affect it that much at all but I havent driven mine without the TPS' so I have no room for comparison. You dont have to install the diff drop it but if you do it doesnt take anything away clearance wise. I installed a diff drop kit on mine a little after I installed the lift and it was easy to put on but I didnt have to do it.

 

I have 2012 Trail Teams with 2.5 pro comp lift and 285/65r/18 bfgs. i need a diff drop, at 120kmh the passenger seat starts shaking violently. it is very annoying.

 

Are your tires balanced?
