    I've read it can happen. You might want to contact the seller. I think cruiser outfitters has some info about this on their site.

    My driver side sags noticibly as well. And that is with the AAL too. It happened with under 1k miles as well. The passenger side has came down a bit since then but it's still higher than the driver side. They are also installed on the correct sides.

    Maybe the constant weight of driver, gas, battery etc. almost everything is on that side of the truck. :notsure: also... Ordered my full OME kit with 883s, with Dakars and AAL. Leafs are on national back order though :confused:

    Yeah that could be...But even when they were new I noticed the driver side was lower. From hub to the wheel well I measured 24.5" on the driver side and 25.5" on the passenger side after installing them. I mean they could have stamped the wrong model number on the springs I suppose...

    Hi all
    Noticed my rear shock is broken:eek: so looks like I'll need a new one. It's an old man emu shocks but can't see what model it is I was looking around the Web and I think it's a N85. :confused:But I'm not sure so if anyone knows what one it should be and know of an places I could get one, I don't need the whole kit just the one shock.
    Thanks

    Has anyone had any vibration issues with their OME setup? After my OME full kit was installed on my 03 DC, I noticed a vibration in the 25 to 40 mph range. A drive line shop told me that its not the drive shaft angle. It feels more up front. Yes I have searched and found threads on it. I was just wondering if anyone else experienced the same thing I did.

    I had a vibration in front, went away in 4wd. Turns out this is a common issue. I'll post a link with more info.

    Thanks... yeah I like it. Previous owner was slightly OCD so everything is documented, only genuine Toyota engine parts, and maintained religiously... gotta love buying a truck from a guy like that:D
