OME Complete Kit

Gimme a second, I'll give you the measurement between the center of the hub to the fender but I've got a shell, a plywood platform and some tools in the bed so you might get a little more lift out of the setup.

 

Kinda tough to tell, I parked on uneven ground. My measurements were DS: 22-3/4" and PS: 24-1/4" so I'm guessing I'd average out around 23-1/4 to 23-1/2" but I'd have to wait til I can get on even ground to confirm.

 

Ok so im guessing with the 1/4" spacer to correct the DS lean I would be pretty level front to rear?

 

You should be pretty damn close. Check your measurements in the front to make sure (I don't have stock height measurements for the front end).

 

Ok Pugga, here are my measurements:

DS Front=22.75"
PS Front=23.00"("lean" spcr will fix)

DS Rear=24.00"
PS Rear=24.00"

So I'm 1/4" off DS to PS up front and dead on 24" in the rear, with a 1"-1.25" rake. So the OME complete with 3 leaf pack, TSB done, overload leaf left in place and the trim pack for the lean should set me up with a nice level stance and great performance? Don't we all finally agree?! And will 265/75/16s look good or should I go with something else? I wanna keep the 265 width and go with spidertrax 1.25" spacers. Any thoughts?

 

Another question, when installing the progressive AAL, like say the ICON 3 leaf, do you leave your stock leafs and overload and just "ADD" these on top? Sorry new to the suspension stuff. Secondly, if I bought the OME leaf "pack" with their kit, do I remove all stock leafs but the overload then install the "pack"?

 

you will not need wheel spacers to clear those tires...unless you just want to wider stance look...2cents

 

Thanks Gabe911, yeah I was thinking about them just for the wider stance look.

 

AAL goes between stock leafs & overload(s).
Leaf pack replaces all of the stock parts (leafs & overloads).
Ether way you will need longer U bolts.

 

x2. Not sure about the OME kit but the Icon AAL comes with new u-bolts. I'm sure the OME leaf pack does as well but check to be sure.

 

U bolts come with OME from ToyTec.
Not sure about the place he's getting it from.
Thought I would mention it so he makes sure he gets some.

 

Hey guys, thanks so much for all the help. I think I have narrowed it down to what I want, now just searching for best price. Gonna pull the trigger on it soon! I will set up a build thread as soon as I start it. Thanks again TW members for all the advice and suggestions

 

What did you finally decide on?

Gonna go with the OME complete kit with new leaf pack. Probably gonna go with Wheelersoffroad because I am gonna order new UCAs and they have an awesome price on Camburgs. Thanks for all the help, and SMKYTXN, I'll also check out autoanythings prices too. Only issue I have with ordering from a place like that is they have so many other things that I feel they would just be trying to make the sale and treat me as just another customer. I feel since Wheelers deals in just offroad accessories and components that they would have my best interest in mind. Just my opinion

 

Plus Wheelers doesn't charge sales tax, so offsets the free shipping I guess. Regardless, I am gonna order over the phone anyway, in case...scratch that...cuz I WILL have several questions throughout the buying process and I feel Wheelers knows their sheeott!

 

That's true, Autoanything is just there to take your money. If they have exactly what you want then they make sense. Good luck with the lift. I love mine.

There are a couple of things that I want to add to mine to make it perfect.

- Extended brake lines for the rear (needed at full droop)
- 1/4" spacer for the driver side (correct lean), or the OME packer (preferred)
- UCA's, but I see you have those on your list already

Things you'll need

- Axle shims (3 degree)
- Bushings from toyota for the Dakars (4 required)
- Colars to extend the centering pin on the Dakars (necessary when using shims)

 

man, i'm a truck driver and dont take a computer on the road with me so when i get home im researching till i fall asleep. there are so many ways to lift these things it starts to get aggravating. everybody suggests something else. heck, i'm still not sure what a tsb is? looking forward to seeing your ride. i've got a 2012 with sr5 wheels, and would like to keep them but i like the wider stance, but dont want to use spacers...who knows what i'll end up doing. i've got a 99 corvette paid for in the garage, but since buying this trk all i can do is think about what i wanna do to it.john

 

SMKYTXN, Wheelers has the bushings for the OME leaf pack, atleast that's what it says on their site. As for the shims and the extended centering pin, I don't know, I'll have to ask them about all of it. Thanks for the input. Can't wait to get this done and post a build thread. Don't give up on me it's on the way. Just seems like us hard working folks are always the ones that have to wait on the money for the extracurricular things we enjoy. Ironic huh?

 

John, I was in the same boat you are, it's kinda like picking which Victoria's Secret supermodel you would rather go on a date with, uh...yeah....THEY ARE ALL AMAZING!!! Anyway, I know the feeling there are so many options out there. I just did my research and plugged it all into my driving habits and needs and went from there. I found alot of good input about the OME complete kit, plus it fit for what I want, good daily driving performance with some occasional weekend minor trail runs. That would be my suggestion to you for a starting point, what are your driving habits and what are you wanting your new components to do for you?, then go down the list from there. I called several vendors also, Down South Motor Sports, Toyteclifts, and I used the hell out of this forum asking every question I could think of. There are alot of great people on here with the same hobby and very willing to help. That goes for the vendors as well. That's why I am using a vendor that strictly deals with off road mods, not some one stop shop for anything and everything for a vehicle. Stick with the pro's. Konaborne, Pugga, SMKYTXN, and YotaDan seem pretty knowledgeable and helped me tremendously. Shoot em a PM, I'm sure they will be more than happy to help. As will I, just remember, I'm new to all this too. Do your research and you will prevail in the end! It's just like anything else, the more knowledge you have about it, the more dangerous you are with it!
