Slow Moe's 2016 SR 4 Banger 4x4 5 Speed Access Cab Build & BS Thread!

Thanks man!

 

You better have lifted pics by Sunday night!

We know the parts you have and need to see them installed.

 

So I did a thing today and installed my OME Lift kit on my 2016 SR 4x4 5 speed! Thanks to @ramonortiz55 group buy, had to wait 2 months for it but it was well worth the wait. Here is the list of parts cause I'm sure people will ask what I'm running! And a big thanks to @MidnightRebel07 for spending most of the day helping me installing it. I owe you big time!!!!!!

Just on the 5 mile ride home from work I can tell that the ride is so much better than the stock suspension!!!

Lift numbers center of hub to bottom of fender:
Stock suspension:
Front: 21"
Rear: 22"

OME Lift suspension:
Drivers Front: 23.75"
Passenger front: 24.00"

Drivers rear: 24.75"
Passenger rear: 25.00"

OME Suspension Kit
887 coil springs
Nitrocharger struts and rear shocks
Dakar Leaf springs
OME differential drop kit
OME 5mm taco lean spacer
Low Range Off-Road 2" extended stainless steel brake lines (These are a must if you are installing dakar leafs cause you need the extra length to just install the leafs )
Light racing upper control arms from @HeadStrong Off-Road
@Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc sway bar relocation brackets
@Wheeler's Off-Road, Inc stock upper control arm bolts

 

Dude that rocks!

 

Hahaha

BTW I'm a real fan of bronze on silver.
This was my ride back in 2001 when I worked for Honda.

 

So even with the top plate spacer you are getting lean?

I'm debating getting 887 or 888 coils to go along with my 5100s. I want to add a 1.5-2 basic add-a-leaf for the rear, but I don't know if I should buy a top plate spacer for the front and maybe a 1/2 shim block for the driver sides of the vehicle.

I have the same truck you have except mine has the auto 6 speed transmission.

Nice looking truck, love the build! Subscriber!!

 

Thank you Curt, ya even with the 5mm spacer I'm still having some taco lean. My guess is that my gas tank is like 60% fuel so that's some added weight.

Thanks Josh, Lets meet up in the middle Still kind of strange tho why my drivers side is .25" lower than the passenger side and I have the 5mm spacer on the drivers side too.....

 

Ya that's strange, that bumper guard weigh's in at 42#. And your right, the 265's don't look as bad as i thought they would be!!!

 

Updated the mod's list!!!

 

Hey @moe2o4 , I've just received the OEM bed step which I think has to be very similar as the AMP research you have and was wondering how difficult was the install. I downloaded the instructions and they say that part of the bumper has to come off . Any insights will be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks bud!!!

 

Hey Omar,

The rear bumper doesn't have to come off. There is two bolts at the top of the bumper that hold it on! Let me get you the link to the amp research install instructions!!!

Check out this video!!!

So finally got around to installing my bed lights in my truck. Turned out great!!!! There is a button in the bed and a RF Wireless controller also, for dimming and a stobe effect!!!
