just got a new ride. wanna make it mine, suggestions?

^^^ See, spoken by someone who actually has one...

 

Yup.

ARB bar, IPF lights, and OME suspension. Wasn't cheap, but worth it.
I bought all of my ARB stuff from 4by4connection; they consistently had the best prices.

 

Isn't the spring rate different as well?

 

My understanding, although I don't have the source at hand that led me to it (I think it was a magazine review of the coils from 2003 I found online), is that the 880, 881, and 882 are all 500 lb springs, but each is 10mm taller than the previous. If I can resurrect that source, I will post it for you.

Attached is the ARB spec sheet, which does not specify actual spring rate, but gives description for application, like "light load" or "heavy load."

I think the taller coil just means less overall sag.

If you haven't already checked out Wheeler's site, they provide some guidance on this application relative to engine type (weight) and crap hanging off the front of your truck.

I guess you could also contact ARB for more detail.

 

I believe the OME coils are progressive just like the stock TRD ones?

 

No, they are not. Damn, I wish I had that article. I was all over this stuff a month ago, because I was getting ready to buy some, which are in my garage right now...

 

Look at some of teh build pages, You'll get some great Ideas there...I recommend looking at Barlowrs, Silverback07, ArizonaD54's builds...Just saying..

 

Those are nice 2nd gens, and not that 2nd gens can't be inspirational, but...not exactly directly applicable.

And it seems the OP is nowehere to be seen and we are all threadjacking anyway...

Bueller?

Bueller?

 

reletively cheap ya, but i dont have 1500.

 

how do i get to the build pages?
