    Not really, considering the TSB for fixing drive shaft angle vibes on factory none lifted truck.

    Instead,
    Download the TSB for the leafs, then go by the angle they say it's SUPOST to be at ....for more accurate baseline measurement.

    I installed the OME 2.5" lift, and ive had a few issues.. havent heard of more than just myself with these, but i had an inner tie rod go loose after the tires (which i tightened up) now i noticed my steering rack bushings are blown. She drives more than fine, but its something i have to fix once they make poly bushings for these trucks..

    Steering rack and bushings should be covered under the 36k mi warranty.

    That's bull shit. Even at full droop, the tie rods still have wiggle room. Lift would not effect them.

    Yeah you're telling me. ive tried a number of dealers around my area and they're all the same.. She wheels fine so im not too upset.. hoping they come out with those poly bushings soon.. Ive talked with a few guys though and it seems like my truck is an isolated incident..

    I had a full OME lift (nitrocharger), strut top hat spacer 10mm I think, camburg uca, and a toytec diff drop kit. Hub to fender said 3.15" over stock and had no vibration. I think it was due to the diff drop. I would definitely recommend a diff drop.

    @Breaky0self yes I had it. I ripped it off and traded my 2016 Sr5 for a 2017 TRD sport with the manual trans. And now I'm getting kings because I was not satisfied with the OME.

    I had terrible vibration after I installed 3" lift on my 16'. I had east coast install the bushing on my truck, and that reduced 99% of vibration.

    @Breaky0self the kit in the link was it. With 886 coils for my cbi bumper with full hoops. But the eye hole cracked on both of the rear shock mounts after one week. (Yes I installed them and torqued them down correctly) I just wasn't happy with the quality. Can't speak for the bp51 kit because I never seen it. And I've had kings before and loved them that's why I ordered them over the OME. Yes I under stand they are in two different suspension classes but my experience has left a sour taste in my mouth.

    I've seen that same thing happen to a few ppl, like I said I had the same kit on my old Tacoma. I wasn't the biggest fan of it either. I was gonna go icon or kings. But then i came across a crazy deal. Basically a brand new BP-51 kit and brand new 285/75/16's BFG A/T's for $2700!!

    I have the BP51 kit on my 17. I had no vibrations, but installed an ARB locker in the front diff when I regeared and that replaced the needle bearing. 100% smooth so far.

    You'll love the BP-51s. I had to adjust mine a little to get the ride how I liked. I took out a little compression and added some rebound compared to stock settings.

    Thanks for the reply, i bought these slightly used, so interested to feel the settings the previous owner had. Did you change your ride height at all? And how much lift did you get, also any pics?

    I left the ride height as set from ARB. It's a simple install, you're going to love the suspension.
