OME load options

Thinking if I even need those dakars. Spoke with Marie @ HS and she said she can give me a discount if I do a store pickup and pay cash . Originally total out to 1860.78 w/tax vs $1710 out the door.

 

If you can afford the Dakars over the AAL I would get the full leaf pack now rather than upgrade later. $1710 otd seems like the best price yet

 

OME 888s, soft dampers, and medium load Dakar’s. Installed back in September 2016. Great setup, no need for UCAs feels great. Replaced the needle bearing too with ECGS Clamshell

 

Whats the difference between Dakar leaf pack vs AAL Pack?

 

Hows that riding offroad vs pavement? Thinking about 888 coils.

 

From all the threads I've read the consensus is a full leaf Pack is preferred over an AAL. It provides more travel, more load capacity and won't sag. If your buying from HS you should ask Marie for her input. Here is a short thread on the subject

There are other Full leaf options like Deavers or the 8 leaf Wheelers pack which cost more but might be an even better option

 

Full leaf pack is better for performance. Set it and forget it, you know what it’s rated for and it’s proven as opposed to an aal. Not that an AAL is bad but I liked that it all came ready to pop in

 

don't notice much difference riding on pavement (vs. stock) and they handle off road nicely, had them on about 6 months and 6k miles.

 

Are stock shocks consider firm or soft?

 

What model do you have? Off road? Sport?

 

2016 Tacoma sr5 4x4

 

Will HeadStrong's 3-leaf progressive AAL still provide me a leveled lift if I go with 888 coils & 90000 strut?

 

Where did you buy that d ring? Did it come with he bolts?

 

Do you have constant weight on the bed?

 

usually run with an empty bed, but I carried a RTT and other hunting gear (maybe 600 lbs) for most of November and I carry a 1200 lb 4 wheeler to the lease in the bed at least once a month.

 

Gotcha, is there a reason why you chose 887 coils along with firm stuts? Idk if I should go with 887 or 888 with hd dakars

 

Was planning on adding a hidden winch (+120 lbs) to the front and this is what the Toytec rep recommended for my application and intended usage.

 

I know post is old but hoping your still active, what size tires are those? Looks great exactly what I'm looking for
