Need some suspension help!
I am about to order the OME3-RUN suspension kit from toytec, i also plan on getting the diff drop kit, I was going to get OME shocks and struts all around but i have heard very good things about the tokico's my question is can i order the trekmasters for a 96-02 4runner stock or do i need to tell the vendor that i will have a lifted truck. I apoligized i searched and things are still alittle unclear to me. Also where is the best place to purchase tokico's i see them on ebay for 210 free shipping. thanks in advance for any replies!!

I am a big fan of the OME shocks, but they aren't cheap.
The Trekmasters will work fine too and no it won't matter if you are running a mild lift or bone stock. As for the best place I can't really say since I haven't had to buy them lately. Check with SS because I know he sells them. I'll leave it to others to chime in on the best place/price to buy them. |
ive always heard good things about OME shocks but from what i understand with this setup the front are to long and the rear and the rear are to short. i guess what im looking for is someone to tell me to get the OME or the tokico's ...so tell me

I don't think anybody here will just tell you to buy one or the other. THey each have their advantages in diff areas.
I have had OME on the rear for 2 years and I am extremely happy with them. No issues at all and I will replace them with the same ones when these wear out. As for the front I have heard that if you run OME's then you may want to use limiting straps because they have a lot of down travel and this can be bad for the CV shafts if under full torque at full droop. Me personally I like OME. If I went with Tokicos I would use the Blue ones that are spec'd for the 04 Tacoma Double cabs. THis is a thread that has tons of info that you may want to read. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...highlight=lift And then I would get in contact with Ric here onthe boards who seems to have a good relationship with Toytec. https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...ghlight=toytec |
very helpfull ....thank you

Never heard about the rears being too short, that's a new one. No one is going to tell you what to buy, just give you the info to make a good decision based on what you feel comfortable with. |

I believe that the issue is running topout spacers in addition to using the longer OME front shocks. The shocks are longer than stock but if you don't run a topout spacer then you shouldn't have any issues with CVs. You can either run topout spacers with OMEs and limit straps or go with the Trekmasters.
Good lookin out! |
is there any benenfit to using the top out spacer does it affect lift height or suspension travel?
