First time poster....

I'm about to pull the trigger on an OME kit for my 85 straight axle 4runner. It is mainly on-road but will be off road in the future. OME sounds like the perfect kit for my needs, but reading the posts I could find, there doesn't seem to be a best place to buy, and things seem to have changed over the years with who is best for sourcing what, people's feedback...even a few nightmares etc.

With a lot of the posts several years old, where is the best place to buy?

I've seen 4x4connection and also rocky-road.com, but it looks like 4x4 connection may not have the greasable shackles, and Rocky road may be more expensive. To complicate things more, OME has new "Dakar" lower priced springs but I don't see anything about those anywhere. I know I want an OME kit, but finding one isn't real confidence inspiring. Did ARB buy it to bury it? One person bought from 4Wheel Parts and his order was a can of worms, missing lots of stuff.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-

Hit me up PM or email. I am putting this kit with some mods on my 84 ext cab and put one on 4x4Fink's 85 4runner this summer.

 

I bought the full kit from 4x4connection 3 years ago including the greasable shackle pins. You might try Slee Off-Road. I bought the full kit for my 97 Landcruiser from them this summer and they are top-notch when it comes to customer service.

I bought a full kit from 4x4connection in 2007 and agree customer service was top notch.

 

I have no experience with these guys but I know they've been around for quite a while. They offer the whole kit for a pretty good price.
