Coil Spacers ?

Makes sense, thanks.

 

I understand that you should upgrade your shocks, no doubt... All I was Saying I Ran Spacers with stock coils and Rancho 5000 shocks for a long time.

Now,
Im running Full OME 882s with Firm shocks. and A custom 12Pack in the Rear. Love the ride. did'nt need to spend $$ for adjustable coil overs especially living on the East Coast! Salt SUX!

 

HBS spacer. NO problems at all..
so far.

 

Is there any pitfall to using spacers with OME coils and shocks?

As in the toytec OME lift kit:

 

Are you talking about the Top Spacer that Kit has as an Option?

 

It depends...., OME makes a Trim pack that goes under the Spring bucket. gives enough boast to correct the Taco Lean. and then the 10MM top Load Spacer. which does not change the Spring rate, but does Risk tearing up the upper ball joint. Which is why im Saving for UCA!.

 

I just need to convert to LT.

but either way I think we made some valid points. Time to let these Kids figure out how to going to Use there Trucks.

 

............. high Five back Buddie! One day we need to wheel together!

 

Thats Cool, I wheel with this.



and now were off Topic.

 

na, J\k. Just got my Taco.

 

So in short, there's no harm using the trim pack but adding the top spacer can tear up my ball joint? Aftermarket UCA's are immune to this damage? I'm just trying to lay out a lift strategy, and UCA's would probably come a month or two after the lift. I don't wheel much and when I do it's usually just rowdiness in a muddy field or some quick runs down decent dirt/gravel roads...

Of course that may change once I get the proper gear on my truck

 

Correct! But just as a reference, I have the OME coils 882s and the Top Load Spacer, So Far My Joints are fine. There only Tight @ Full Droop and they also Slightly Hit the Coil.

 

aah, good to know. I'll just take it easy until I can get the UCA's on there. And if I break the stockers, then my hand will just be forced lol

sorry for the threadjack, good info nonetheless
