Quick OME susp question

[barlowrs]

Hey Guys/Gals, I need some quick advice. I think I found a good deal on an OME front lift (886 coils and shocks) for my taco. The shocks are new and the coils have 10K on them...my question:

After 10K are the coils still good or should I just hold out and buy new ones?

Thanks,
Robert

I have no doubt the coils are still good after 10k miles. But how great is the deal? You can get new OME 886's for $66ea.

Well it was 275 for the coils and brand new shocks. But I think I will just hold out and get a brand new kit. I know I can get a full OME kit for under 1K and that is for everything.

Thanks for the responses though.

At 10k miles they should be fine and they'll be pre-sagged for you. I'm guessing you know that OME springs always sag a bit after they've been on for a while. Not a big deal, but freaks some people out.

Whatever you do, make sure you get the coils you need for your application. If The 886s are the heavier coil recommended for the double cabs with a winch bumper. I'm running them on my accesscab and I like them so far; a bit stiff, but no sagging yet.

Yeah, I am going to be running an allpro with a winch on my access cab so I think the 886 is the right choice for me. I am also thinking about the full Dakar with the added leave beause I haul my motorcycle around on a regular basis and all my camping, climbing, excursions usually have a full bed of gear.

As long as the shocks are new, everything else in the system can be replaced low cost.

I was able to replace my entire suspension except leaf springs this fall with all OME parts for just over $500...all brand new. 886's up front with nitrochargers all around. Definitely need to do the leaf springs next, my back end is sagging a little...

Cheers,

I bought a pair of springs that had a couple thousand miles on them for that reason, plus they were available and cheaper than new.

That's a pretty sweet deal. You'll spend $400 or so on those things brand new, and 10k is nothing for the 886 coils.
