    Hi everyone.

    I have spent a ton of time trying to piece together an ome lift for my tacoma online and I can't find one site that has it all under one roof.
    I want a full ome 2.5" lift. Dakkar springs and stiff ome shocks in the rear, and 883 (stiff coils) in front with the ome struts.
    Also, any other stuff I might need.

    So does anyone out here know of a package or a vendor?

    Thanks

    Oh wow I never knew you could click on the brand logos on wheelers.
    I only saw the separate components. They got a great kit.

    Debating whether I should get a diff drop or not.
    Also, anyone running a .5" spacer up front?

    Headstrong has a good OME order setup, or you can call/email and get exactly what you want!

    Can't comment on Headstrong because I've never dealt with them but the people at downsouth motorsports were awesome with the purchase and super helpful with warranty stuff years later.

    A lot of folks running the diff drop kit on the first Gen. It's not very expensive, and it does change the diff/CV angle enough to be worthwhile, IMO.

    And another good vendor is Cruiser Outfitters ( @cruiseroutfit ) http://CruiserOutfitters.com . You can't order online at the moment, but they're almost always available via phone (and if they don't answer, they'll call you back within an hour or so usually) and very responsive to emails. Very knowledgeable on all Toyotas and OME/ARB.

    Another vote for headstrong. Marie is amazing and totally rocks. I got money off my order because I paid cash and also picked it up. Buy from them!

    I would go with whichever of the already mentioned vendors is closer to you to get your suspension faster. They are all excellent vendors and OME is great equipment. From just scrolling through your build page real quick, it looks like you have manual hubs? If this is so, I wouldn't bother the diff drop since your CV's are not spinning unless they are locked. My truck also has manual hubs and had a spacer lift with a diff drop the previous owner had installed. When I installed my new suspension, I ended up ditching the diff drop as well.
