OME's for 2016

I thought the valving was different between the 5100 and 4600

 

Nope. Just the color and the ability to preload the springs

 

I found it. For stock height they are the same valving, but on lifted trucks the valving may be different. 4600 is only available in stock height.

From what I read though, people feel like the 5100s right a little smoother/not as harsh.

 

I'll still keep my OME's

 

do u know how much height you gained? what size tires?

 

OME Nitrocharger Shocks
OME 885 Coils with trim packet and 1/4" spacers
Deaver 2" AAL

 

2.5-2.75 over stock. 255/80-17

 

looks great!

 

thanks!

 

Sweet, exactly what I was gonna do.

 

I like. I was thinking about trying 884s and wheelers 5 leaf HD leaf pack. I'm only looking for 1-1.5 inches of lift.

 

I have to ask did any of you install the Old Man Emu Rear Drive Shaft Spacer Kit? If not, any vibrations?

With OME kits, did any of you have to install a front differential drop kit? I'm not finding much love for them on here and an curious if they're even needed on the OME 2" lifts. @Aussiek2000 @Quicksand_TuRD

 

No front drop. I used the carrier bearing spacers on the rear. No vibrations that I'm aware of

 

How are the angles on your front shaft that connects the tire to the differential? Any of those fins touching?

 

@Aussiek2000 you got a build thread?

 

Nope

Fins? Are you referring to the cv boot? No, none of the ribs are touching

 

no front drop for me; no vibrations either.

 

here's a photo of the stance not flexed or offroad, so you get a better idea of ride height.

 

What is better about it? OME is designed for offraod use. I had 5100 on my 2000 TRD and the OME were many times better off road, IMHO

 

They are a monotube vs a twin tube. Monotubes don't heat up the fluid as fast as twin tube style shocks
