OME Dakar leaf pack help (latest version)

Ordered ome leaf springs with AAL and two sets of ome bushings through wheelers off-road. The leafs did not come with bushings pre-installed and the ome bushings don’t seem to fit correctly. Is the negative space between the bushing and the eyes of the leaf normal? Ome bushings also only came with 1 sleeve per kit... What am I missing here? Appreciate any feedback, thank you all

 

Subbed for response, I was about to pull the trigger on this kit

Looks like there should be one on each side. So you should have received 8 total.

 

yes 8 total, i posted the picture with only 1 bushing installed to show the negative space between the eylid and bushing

 

I’d double check the part number too.....

 

You should read his post more closely, maybe even look at the picture.. he said sleeve not bushing

 

Yah they sent me the wrong part

 

Updating shortly

 

Did you get ahold of them yet? To see what they say

 

Here’s the part# they sent me, refer to original post for the part# I ordered

 

Looks like Dakar got new numbers? EL122RA

$260 EL122RB ARB EL122RB

EL122RB show up on wheelers when searching CS046R

Also on toytec lifts...


The right ## bushings for these set of springs is

$46 OMESB121 ARB Bush Kit OME Shackle Tacoma (OMESB121)

OMESB121

Maybe they fix the emu leaf squeaking after decades of R&D?


Wheelers people should have caught this... Sorry your build is delayed.

 

The bushing kits I orderd for CS046R arent listed for EL122R but I should be able to use the springs if i can find compatable bushings ?
bushings i orderd---------->ARB-OMESB89 Old Man Emu Shackle Bushing Kits for Single CS018R, 19R or 46R Leaf Spring (SB88 or SB89)
Option: For Stock Shackles

 

damn im a jackass took the leaf out without making sure i had the right parts in hand. Yup trucks on jackstands

 

That sucks! Hopefully Wheelers can get u taken care of and will accept a return of the (incorrect/mismatched) bushings. See my above post edited for the correct part number. It's also sold on their site: (still need two sets)

Yah i'll call them to get some clarification when i can probably arb after. Not super stoked to say the least but thats mostly my fault

 

sub'd for outcome, I'm guessing there is some reason after all

 

Hey TJ, like I mentioned maybe someone will chime in about this new version leaf pack.

Seems some vendors have the older style with the rubber bushing pre-installed, but yours is the first one I've heard about without one installed. Same deal as the leaf pack my buddy got on his Cherokee.

I've got those poly bushings that go up front that you're welcome to.

Just sucks that you got away with buying that leaf lack and either; not being told you have to buy bushings for the front wrap or not having them included if they don't require a separate purchase.
