Old Man Emu setups on 1st gens

They added the ubolts for the CS019r and bushings. If they had free shipping I would have saved another $100z I thought about adding a diff drop for $29, but since I won’t be going higher than 2” I opted out of it. One of the reasons I went with the 5100’s. If I do go higher than 2” in the future I can and add a UCA with next years tax return $$. Here is a list of what I ordered, hope this helps.

Edit: Just keep in mind CS019r is for 1996 Tacoma, the leaf pack for 1998 is a different.

 

This is the stuff:

 

Cant remember if I ever uploaded pictures after but here ya go

Next to a stock 1st gen


And heres a before

 

Is this with the 2.5" OME full kit installed?

 

Probably should have included that.
Its the full OME kit from @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc, 882s with a trim packer on the driver side. Im 2wd V6 doublecab so it did have a little bro lean at first but its almost completely level after 5000 miles

 

@LazyEye @adamdsgn
Arrived today, within three days of ordering.

 

Nice ! what kind of leaf pack did you order ? 5100 4600 ? other ?

My daydreaming time is to get 5100 all around and J59 ( 8 leaf pack ) from wheelers but somehow the recommended something different like dakars and pull out a leaf or something like that, they said 8 pack is not to heavy load ( I'm not planning on heavy load)

Always wanted to see a picture of a 5100 all around with the J59 8 leaf pack to see how that look and how that will ride ?

 

NICE! Please post a picture when you get all of this installed. I think this is going to be the economical way to upgrade my broke ass bone stock suspension and retain somewhat of a factory look.

 

Those rear leaf springs are only for 95-97 Tacoma’s. You’ll want a different set for your 2003

 

Pulled the trigger yesterday on OME 881's and Bilstein 5100s for the front and rear. Will pick up the Deaver J59 rear leafs in the next week or so. This should give me 1.5" of approximate lift and ended up costing me right around $1000.

 

Great... make sure pictures and dims before and after... there is a 1/2 shim or something like that , that was mentioned to install on driver side leafpack to avoid lean.... (someone said wheelers said) so check it out....

 

Just in case anyone needs some extended u bolts, I have some for sale that I didn't use during my Dakar install (needed longer ones). See the ad I posted here:

Did you ever do anything with your truck? Do you have a build? I'm interested in almost exactly what you described here. Starting from scratch.

 

Looking forward to see pictures ....and any observation for install that you had noticed it ...tks!

 

Put a full OME kit on the shitbox with 882’s and Dakar leafs. Thanks @Wheeler's Off-Road Inc

 

So much lift!
Looks great with those wheels and tires. I can’t stop staring

 

Sic

 

@Ben_B_Rad your CV axles aren’t gonna last long with that much lift

 

It still has the 3” body lift on that it came with that makes it look a little more extreme than it really is. I’ve only had the truck for 3 weeks, going to be removing the body lift when I do the rack and new cv’s in a few a days.

Just stoked on this little truck and kinda wanted to show it off

 

AAL in the rear
4x 5100
OME coils

$519 out the door
Will need slightly larger tires soon
Rides a million times better than that 15 year old stock trd suspension
