Old Man Emu: Questions, Answers & Pictures

It'll fix some of it but you're right about it not correcting 2". I also edited my response, what about the Dakars?

 

Both leaf packs were + sign packs so orientation was interchangeable. I know those were installed right and everything there is all as it should be.

 

Just checked to make sure I didnt put the springs on upside down or some weird goof that would be dumb haha. Perches are right, springs are right, everything seems right, even in the rear. I guess Ill just have to really look at it this weekend.

 

How many of you have run a plate bumper on 885s dcsb? Picking up my Demello next week. Driving 500 miles for it and a wheelin trip. Would rather put the bumper on the truck than in the bed, but don't want the 885s saggin like a mofo while I wheel. Unlikely that I'll get 886s in time, plus I'd have to drive there without the extra weight. I have an ifs skid and LCA skids to weigh down the front end even more...

 

Thanks for the response. I called the vendor and asked about the 60091 mix up and they are taking care of that. He said they would look into the N140S and see if any were available. I still think they should've contacted me and let me know that they would be sending the 90000. I would've prefered the 90021 if the N140S wasn't available. Worst case, hopefully they will swap the 90000 for the 90021... As I would much prefer a little softer front end.

And the vendor said the - - springs should be fine as well... I'd really prefer the + - set... But oh well. If I get them on there and the rear is noticeably leaning, I may get back with them and see about swapping.

 

^^^ you can also get an OME rear leaf trim packer if you have a slight lean , Wheelers carries them , they are basically an approx 1/4" flat axle shim

FWIW my -,- pack has no discernible lean

Thanks Oz!

 

Hmm, this might be a solution to my rear passenger side being higher than my rear drivers side....

 

Im going to start off with details. I own a 2000 Tacoma Xtra Cab Prerunner V6. Okay, so i have a dilemma. I've ordered shocks for my lift already and had to change the rear leafs because of a production delay. I went from 3" Allpro standards to the 2.25" Dakars. Im just wondering what length rear shocks I will need. I realize the passenger shock is longer and at the moment I have the 10" and 9" travel 5125's. Was wondering if I need to switch the 10" shock for 8.5" and go with the 9 and 8.5 inch shocks instead. I want to have as much down travel as possible without the shocks bottoming out too bad however I may end up extending the bumpstops anyways.

Thanks in advance!!

 

Hi all I got a 2015 tacoma double cab off road 4x4 and was looking to get the OME lift and have 3" of lift with an aluminum pelfreybilt front plate bumper with winch and lights, some underbelly skids in aluminum if possible, and maybe a topper for the rear. What coils would you recommend the 885 with 10mm enforcer kit, or 886 with 5mm spacer, or what exactly I want the smoothest ride possible on and off road but to have really no less than 3" of lift (sitting level of course). What would y'all recommend for the rear end the dakars or maybe the icon setup? Or maybe something else?
Thanks Andrew

 

If you want 3" with a plate bumper and winch go with the 886 coils. For the rear Dakars possibly with the add a leaf to maintain 3" with a topper. If no topper, you should be around 3" in the rear without the AAL.

 

Was told that the ride would still be too stiff with the 886's since I'm going to have a aluminum bumper. I just don't want to have to do this over again in a few months after it's installed.

 

It depends on how heavy the alumunim bumper is going to be compared to the steel bumpers. Not to sure on the weight difference. Loving my 886s but I have a steel bumper.

 

I was told the same thing with my access cab. You might want to consider the 887's and possibly top plate spacer.

 

That's what I was thinking also!

 

That's what I ended up going with for my access cab. I'm hoping that it will settle in at 3" after adding an aluminum bumper to the steel skids and sliders.

 

I said 886 because you also are going to have a winch, which also adds a significant amount of weight.
