Got 3" OME lift...Do I need to add something?

Hey guys, I just purchased an OME lift consisting of:

ICON UCA
OME Nitrocharger 90000 front shocks with 886 springs
OME 60091 rear shocks
DAKAR 2.75 lift leaf pack
driveshaft drop kit

Now before these Items arrive, I want to be prepared rather than have to wait another week or two for addition parts, do I need to buy:

diff drop kit?
Sway bar relocation? (Yes im hoping to keep the sway bar)
taller bump stops? (what stops the nitrochargers from bottoming out?)

anything I might be missing thats worth looking into?

Thanks!!!!

 

Forget the diff drop...useless.

I believe you will need the relocation kit for the sway bar (I left mine off but pretty sure I've read you will need it with the OME setup).

Not sure about the bump stops but make sure you get new ubolts (just make sure they came with the dakar kit).

Verify it comes with the trim packer to correct taco lean.

 

copy....

Ubolts and new bushings are included.

sway bar relocation, ok i'll order that.

 

Trim packer or you're going to lean. I didn't order with mine and regret it.

 

You can reuse your stock bumpstops, you'll just have to drill them out a little to fit over the bigger center pin.

Dakars don't always come with the bushings installed, check on that.

Are you buying the spring and strut assembled? Totally worth it IMHO

 

If you use the LCA to compress the spring when you install the strut, its literally one extra step vs paying for it to be assembled.

Everything looks good OP.

But like others said. Add the "trim packer" (or grab a 1/4in or 3/8in top plate spacer for the driver side... id lean to 3/8th's to correct the lean)

Forget about the swaybar all together... just remove it, you will thank me.

And no need for bigger bumpstops. Stockers will limit travel fine and the OME shocks are the right length collapsed to use the stock ones.

Save the money on the diff drop. Install the lift, if you have vibes, get 8-10 washers that fit the 2 center carrier bearing bolts and play with how much shimming works.... cost 2 bucks at the hardware store.... maybe 4 if you decide to get some longer bolts as well.

 

I would recommend super bumps if you are looking to replacing them. At least in the rear. If you are running the sway bar (SB) in front, that will limit travel and articulation.

Love my superbumps:



Even added some spacers Airdog sent me to prevent bottoming out really bad.

 

centre pin collars for the Dakars

 

This too. ^^ Was just waiting for OZ to stop by

 

Looks like your kit includes the driveshaft drop kit. Unless that's for the rear but I can't imagine that's the case. It's listed right under the DAKAR leaf pack.

 

FK29 CB drop

 

the driveshaft drop is included in the kit, I cant remove it, not that I would being that its an $0 addition. whether I use it or not is another thing...

ok I'll order the trim packer 5mm as well. and two new center pin collars for the rear dakar leafs.

seems to be recommended to remove the swaybar, I guess i'll try that for a couple months, if I dont like it, its easy to add it back.

the rear dakar kit says I will need new bushings...

which ones are they? Do I really need them? and also...do I need new bushings for the front/rear shocks? I am assuming NO, I only have 24k miles on the truck.

^^ thats the center pin collar? is that recommended over just buying new center pins? the center pins are 6.99 at toytec.

 

Centre pins will come with the Dakars , the collars are used to extend the exposed head of the pin in case you need to use slide in axle shims later

 

^oooh gotcha, great idea, thank you.
