So I'm waiting on my income taxes to come back and I've been thinking about upgrading my suspension. I have looked at OME and Downey products.
Downey says they have heavy duty springs to cure the saggy booty of my 1992 Four Runner which also comes with a longer brake line, proportioning rod remounting bracket and ABS remounting bracket.
OME says nothing about this stuff coming with their new springs. Only thing I read was you will need longer shocks to run their coils and with also Downey coils. Duh. Bigger springs, shorter shocks. Not gonna work.
I had also seen a kit that OME has that comes with the BJ spacers, shocks and springs but again nothing said about the stuff that Downey mentions.
Do I need this extra stuff or can I just go with the OME goodies???
I would like the OME kit cause of the BJ spacers. I feel if I get the springs for the back only my rearend will be higher up than the front. I already have a Mustang with that kinda of stance.
What should I do yotatech peeps???

 

Geesh!
I must post at the wrong times cause I aint getting no feedback.
C'mon Four Runner owners! I need some feed back!
Thanks.

 

I havent got a 4runner, but heres what you can do. Tomorrow, when you've got some free time, give ARB/OME a call and ask them what comes in their kit. See if you can price out a kit that is comparable to the Downey one. Another option is Northwest offroad which sells their kit here. When I got my lift components I went with a skyjacker kit, and while I still believe that they make one of the best mass produced lift kits out there, I wish I had known about these smaller companies that make better quality stuff. Moral: do it right the first time

 

Thanks for the tips. I can't count how many times I have bought something that was a little pricey and then find the excact thing for cheaper. Story of my life! LOL.
I will take your advice and make some calls tomorrow. Which ever way I go and cant wait to work on my rig again! Its my stress reliever.

 

Yeah...finding a better deal hurts, but I have a full time job, I'm in high school, and I live with my parents so I'm doing pretty well
But what kills me is when I buy something without researching enough about it and then once I get it I find out that I bought the commercial n00b crap that doesn't work as well, last as long, or look as nice as the lesser known 1337 alternative I thought the skyjacker 4" lift leaf packs I got were great until I found out they were WAY overpriced yet cheaply made, and started sagging the moment I put them on the truck.
