Old Man Emu setups on 1st gens

Wheelers are waiting on some OME kits, I ordered one, they said there were about 25 others waiting, cant beat 10% and free shipping.
I doubt others would match that deal.

 

Cruiser outfitters is another option. That’s where I got mine. Same price as all the options, and really killer customer service! Give them a call before ordering, they’ll want to check in with you on what your truck is and what you’re hoping to do with it, and help you get the right set up.

 

Ya I had some luck punching them out with the sledge hammer. Passenger was difficult, driver only took a few minutes.

 

Exactly the reason I ordered from them but yeah I had the same thing happen.. I ordered end of June took about 4 weeks to get it all.

 

Well, I've got 8-10 weeks, I missed out on a first gen Relentless Fab in-stock bumper yesterday.
Placed my order for a new one today.

I'll be adding lead weight to my stock one in the meantime, lol

 

So I installed my SPCs today (OME kit last week) and now I’m really noticing the driver side lean. Idk why it’s so obvious now and wasn’t so much when I installed the OME kit..
Either way, does OME have trim packer preinstalled in all their coilver setups or does that depend? Definitely in need of a spacer. Pretty noticeable.

 

Is this the correct spacer I’ll need?

That explains why it's taking some time.... When I ordered they said all parts were in stock and it shouldn't take more than a week, but here I am. When did you hear that there were so many people waiting?

 

If you have enough stud to make a full nut on the three top hat spacer bolts.

 

@dwebber , Yesterday, when I called them.
LOL, they told me there should be a large delivery from OME this week.

Hopefully they weren't blowing smoke up my you know what.

 

@Kwe1982
Ha ,guess I can't really complain with no tax, shipping, and 10% off
Here's to hoping they told you the truth on that large delivery

 

Just finished installing my 881+dakars with SPC UCAs over the weekend. Took two days in 90+ degree weather to do. We hit a few bumps in the road but it was worth it.

 

Is this an OEM color? I plan on repainting my truck to a shade of blue next year, and the blue on your truck looks really good.

 

yes sir. 754 paradise blue metallic.

 

Hey Guys,
We wanted to reach out and let you know up front that ARB pulled one on us. They promised to be sending us 56 of the D43XL add a leafs earlier this month. But we received only 20 today. So more of the wait game here unfortunately. We are looking at another 3 weeks or so wait time currently. We apologize for the delays and inconveniences here. As we are at the mercy of manufacturers during these times.

 

That sucks balls, but it is what it is.

 

@Wheeler's Off-Road Inc
Thanks for the transparency it's really appreciated. My order didn't have the add a leafs and I was told over the phone on Tuesday that you guys were waiting on some coils to be delivered, any word on that?

 

Got my OME kit installed today! 883, dakar pack, 1" diff drop

 

Kind of a follow up, front springs settled and now have about 2" of rake. Thinking about removing one of the springs on the leaf pack to lower it a bit. Im not too crazy about that much rake.

 

I hear that the dakars can take a month or so to settle. By then it should probably level out a bit more. Just what I’ve heard. I think I’ve noticed mine settle a bit and I’m at 3 weeks since install.
