ORS Coil-Over Kits FINALLY Released!!!

Not sure if anyone else is on the ORS mailing list, but I just got the note saying the kits are being built, orders are being taken and the first round should ship June 20th.

I have driven rigs with the kit on, wheeled with them and cannot be more impressed with the performance.

The only bummer is using a Toyota axle with these. The narrow width really limits the possibilities. If you can, pony up for a wider Diamond or Dana.

It is too late for me, I have leaves, but for those looking for bling and performance, here it is.

once I get a new taco I want this setup. I want either the ORS or the AllPro system. I'm pretty sure that I will be going with the ORS kit for its 4link were as the AllPro is only a 3link. It looks Soooo good.

The Taco kits are not out yet, but they will be even better. Because you need to start with a wider axle and most people choose a 44, you can get the coilovers out on the knuckle and increase stability.

The white Taco on the site drives like a dream, way better than stock.

For clarity, both the old junk and the Taco kits are 3-links with panhards. With mechanical steering, it is pretty impossible to run a 4-link up front and not run into panhard/bumpsteer issues.

Those are 42's on the white Taco on the site. Sits pretty tall but is stable on road and off.

Well I dont plan on getting a new taco for awhile. When I do Im definetly getting coilovers. The white Taco is on 42's? It looks sick. What width tire and wheels? Do you know if ORS is planning on rear coilover kits for the Taco's? I also love that 4runner on 42's I wanted mine to be identicle.
Thanks

The white Taco is posing on 42" TSL's on 15x10 beadlocks.

Timeliness has not been good, but this had better be.

Andy, my truck is getting doner by the day. This would be a step in the wrong direction spend money I don't have. I blew my load on axles and drivetrain, suspension is a wash for me now.

I feel the same way after spending all my money on my lift. Once I saw this kit I . But on a good note my leaves did very well and got me were I wanted to go along with the help of my ARB. To bad the 3.crap didnt last. Thats why I want the Taco with the 3.4 Or put in a 3.4 in my 4runner and also do a 5spd swap. Choices

I have Alcans and Fox reservoirs up front and Sway-Aways in back. Links and leaves, cost effective.

The only thing sketchy about coilovers is they unload. Running a linked front or rear is spooky when you climb or descend steep stuff.

The kit for the new stuff is not yet out, this is only for old jun as per the site.

On the 3rd Gen you will have to do something pretty aggressive on the rear to make it work. We are talking about 6 inches of lift at least.
