meh
I am familiar with 4x4parts. I chose the OME for a few reasons. I wanted to add a little height, but not a ton (this ended up to be right at about 1.75"), as this rig is my wife's and sees more pavement than dirt. We rarely ever camp out of it, as I have an 80 series Landcruiser that works better with 2 adults and 2 kids + gear. I also wanted something that could allow for more weight in the rear on a regular basis. we travel around with strollers, water, toys, etc. all the time, and I am confident that is one of the reasons I had the stock suspension sag out early. The OME has the option for 'heavy' which made the most sense. Lastly, I was able to source the kit locally from CruiserOutfitters, which is right around the corner.Ronin152 said:Hey man I don't know if you know about www.4x4parts.com but they have a custom 2" lift kit. Did you know about that lift and if you did why did you pick OME over 4x4parts? Also did you use any type of strut spacer? Do your front struts top out? Are you happy with this lift and what is the ride like? How are the OME struts and shocks? Would I be better off to get Rancho struts and shocks and just use the springs? Thanks man.
I guess I should say it bottoms out, more than 'tops out' meaning that when the suspension cycles down, it makes a bit of a 'cunk' that at first I thought was something installed incorrectly, but later found out it was fine. -I also had it checked by a professional-Ronin152 said:Does the strut topping out damage the strut? Any alignment issues? Or the Brake valve? Thanks man I appreciate it.
The ABS kit came as an option from OME. I bought the whole shebang from Cruiser Outfitters.Ronin152 said:What is the ABS kit and where do you find that? Thanks so much for the help man. Sorry that was the last question. I am probaly going to go with the OME kit over the AC one because it just seems like the OME is meant to be good all over and will not just be a strictly and offroad kit. Thanks man.
I made no modifications to the front end struts. I believe someone in this thread (or maybe another one I started about this) said the noise I was hearing was normal.madizell said:When you lifted the suspension, did you also raise bump stops? Struts (or shocks) should not be allowed to top or bottom out. The shock should not be the limiting device on suspension travel.
I can't recall the cost, I would have to dig through the pile of receipts I have. Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters has it available.Ronin152 said:Hey man how much did the total package come to? Whats your best guess as to the max tire size you could get with this package? Could you get 32s? Thanks.
