ORI-Struts Available from BAMF

I've been ruining mine on all four corners for over 4 years with no issues. Just getting ready to do a rebuild after 75,000 miles.

 

What kind of offroading do you do? Do they stay cool?
Also, with the integral reservoir theyre huge but would stay cooler and easy to tune.
Do you stock them still? Color variety?
Thanks!

 

Mostly fast crawling. The integral resi will not work with IFS you would have to go remote. And we have never stocked them they are built to order.

 

I'm still runnin mine. My truck is daily driven with 'em and sees just a bit of mild forest roads on occasion. I really like the ride, I run mine pretty soft and I try to set them midway in the travel of the strut at ride height. That is, I try to set the ride height so there's an equal amount of down travel and up travel. Lift height is not important to me, I'm only equipped with 32" tires.

I like how tune-able they are. It's really cool to be able to change spring rate at will while not changing ride height. The only problem I've ever had is that they seem to leak down VERY slowly. I've noticed losing maybe an inch of ride height after a few months. This may be normal and it's not a big deal to top them off a few times a year. I went around with leak check at all the fittings and found nothing bubbling, maybe tiny bits of gas squeeze out with cycling over a long time?

 

I have a set that I will be rebuilding. All parts are acquired but I am having a hell of a time finding the top misalignment spacers that will fit the BAMF top hats. The lowers are 1/2 to 5/8th total length of 1.6 inches the old uppers are total length of 1 3/8". My google-fu is failing. I have made multiple wrong orders. Can sombody point me in the right direction. Thanks!

 

There's not an exact overall dimension on these but they look a bit shorter than most others I seen.

Have you tried to contact BAMF directly? I'm sure they would be able to supply the parts. Alternatively you may be able to get the closest ones possible and grind/file them to fit?

 

Thanks for the link, I haven't contacted BAMF yet. I figure I post this on the forums so it would be searchable. And for referance this is why I need to replace them and cant just use the old ones. Actually looks as if the pieces were cut from the 1.6" to make the fitment to the top hats.

 

There is no off the shelf option we turned down the ones supplied from ORI for every set we sold. All you really need is .75"x .120 wall DOM and you can make your own.

 

Thank you! Figured it was something like that. Was driving me crazy for a bit.

 

Another question! I currently have Kings 2.5x10 coil overs on the front. Do the ORI's have the diameter of a 2.0 shock with 2.5 ID coils or 2.5 shock with 3.0 ID coils?

 

ORI's are much smaller then a CO they are 3.75" wide.

 

Anyone tried these on a 3rd gen IFS setup?

 

TOYOTA will be on the 4th gen before you get them . They are well over a year out on orders, we have not sold a set of these in well over 5 years.

 

Been a few more years, any 3rd gen guys running these yet?
