OME 881 / 906 Setup

I recently ordered the OME 881/906 combo from trdparts4u.com thanks Gerone. I thought I would post some pictures of it on my 02 Sport Edition.

Here is the day I bought it....


Here it is with the new suspension and 265/75 BFG AT's

wow that looks great. i'm interested in the same set up for mine. did you get new shocks or are you still running your factory ones?

i figured you would have more rake since according to the site you have a half inch more in the front then back

I think the lift heights are all a little off. Some people notice a rake, and others get a squat. Mine are sitting pretty much level front/rear.

I wish my 4Runner were green - I love that color. It looks really good.

Go 906er's!!!

p.s. Sloan, I suggest you look into the OME comfort shocks if you get their springs. The springs are stiffer than stock, so you might want a comfy shock with them.

Thanks for the compliments.... The ride is great I did go with the OME Comfort shocks

Here are my before and after measurements

Before -> After
Front Left: 33 7/8 -> 36 7/8 = 3"
Front Right: 34 1/4 -> 37 1/8 = 2 7/8"
Rear Left: 34 1/4 -> 37 1/8 = 2 7/8"
Rear Right: 34 1/2 -> 37 1/4 = 2 3/4"

My understanding is that if you pair the OME springs with the OME (comfort) shocks, it will ride comparably to stock (probably better). I have OME springs with stock shocks, and it's a little stiff for my liking. Stock springs with OME shocks would probably give you a spongy ride (just for comparison). If anyone knows better, please correct me.

on the website you ordered it from says to order 2 of the shocks (they are sold individually). so does that mean they only go on the front or back? i figured i would need to order 4 and not just 2.

lobody94,

That is the same exact setup I am getting. That is one sweet looking rig you go there. I am guessing you didn't need anyother parts right, such as diff drop and such??? Thanks.

The only other parts I got were the poly rack bushings and swaybar bushing. I didnt do the tdiff drop from what I have read it is not needed with this lift.

MPG loss....Yes. I was getting about 20-21mpg and it dropped to 17 my first full tank. I am adjusting my driving style and getting better now. I am waiting on my scangauge 2 to come and I will see if I can improve it any more.

I had the exact same results. After driving for a while with the new tires, I've gotten 20mpg at best (highway), and 17.5 (all city) on my last tank, taking it really easy on the skinny pedal. I always seem to be in a hurry while driving my wife's car though.
