    Can't find an answer to this with just searching:

    I'm having a hard time finding OME bushings for a set of Dakars that I want to install today/tomorrow. Shipping times are looking like a few days or weeks --- too long.

    Can I buy Toyota OEM bushings and use these? Will they fit? ARB dealer is telling me that I need to buy OME/ARB, but I don't know.

    Yeah, I might have to try for quick Amazon shipping.

    A Toyota dealer just told me that OEM bushings come to them already installed in the springs.

    Make sure you get their grease as well

    The bushings arrived a day early! This meant I could leave the city and get back up to my garage.

    Install was super easy. The bushing came with some grease. I didn't bother to change the shackle bushings.

    Dakar HD EL096R in the rear with OME Nitro Chargers 60091; OME 2886 Coils and OME Nitro Chargers 90021 up front.


    This gave me about 3"-3.5" of lift in the front and rear (flippac on truck bed). Ride seems stiff. Have driveline vibrations. Adding driveline drop kit later today, but I don't know if this will fix the issue. My previous truck with Bilstein 5100's and add-a-leaf on new stock springs gave the same lift, but no vibrations issues -- probably because I had angled shims under the leaf springs.
