Help deciding kit - ome or king

not sure if these two particular kits have ever been compared but what would you guys go with.. I know Everyone usually swears by kings.. both kits seem like great kits. Anyone know which will give me the biggest lift ? I also want no problems, noises, etc.. Also which ones ride quality will be closest to a stock trd off-road..

OMETAC16BP51B - Old Man Emu BP51 Suspension Kit Lift Kit For 2005+ Tacoma

Or

KSTAC05 - King Complete Kit for 05+Tacoma

 

Subd for results -- maybe edit the post to put in a poll.

 

Camry or E class?

 

How so? Both are resi setups, both have compression adjustment, only OME has rebound.....he didn't say what he was planning for a leaf pack if going with Kings....

Reasonably similar I would say....certainly same ball park price wise.

 

Kings will give you as much lift as your crank

 

How do you plan on using the truck?

The OME BP51 has the advantage of the compression and rebound adjustments - but the bypass systems means you're also only truly getting a 2.0 shock in a 2.5 shock body.

With the King you are getting true 2.5 shocks. Larger piston means potentially longer shock life, and can withstand a little more abuse.

For what it's worth - I'm certainly intrigued and tempted by the BP51's myself, but if it was my choice between those two, I would go with the Kings without even giving it a second thought. King vs Fox vs ADS would be a closer comparison.

 

Install the best and don't look back: Kings.

I have old man emu but I'm definitely considering going to King for a better ride quality. The only thing is the rebuild requirement.. I put on about 30k miles yearly and don't have another vehicle to use while that's being done, so I'm not sure.

I will say, if you go with Total Chaos upper control arms and it's anything like my experience, they will drive you insane. Mine are obnoxiously loud and no amount of TLC seems to fix it.

 

Lol Camry is a practical car at best. No luxury no pizazz . Absolutely a point A to point B car with zero emotional attachment for owner .
Camry says “ I just want reliable transportation and I don’t care about anything else. Mercedes E class speaks volumes about a person , from maybe this is the best i can do ...but it beats the shit out of that Camry ! To..I’m just getting started here !!! Oh I’m sorry, I didn’t see you had a car also...Camry person.

 

Not a lot of people are running bp51 setup. It would be hard for me to choose the bp51 over kings as they are proven, but I also don't know how you intend to use your truck.

Coilovers or suspension in general can fail at anytime. So you may want to consider customer service, downtime for rebuild, maintainance in general etc.

 

I know a few people who are totally happy with the BP-51 setup . I bought the set because people like @Dissent86 who usd there trucks over and above what there capabilities are swore by them.
Ahhh but I chickened out and went with Fox 2.5” DSC fronts and rears.
Fox has always done right by me and I’ve used them extensively with a few rigs.

OME BP-51 is owned by ARB, so I have to believe there customer services with the OME will reflect there there outstanding customer service they provide with the rest of there products.
