OME 906 coils
#41
ive got 906's and 881's to go in but still undecided on what shocks to run. those of you with the ome comfort how is the ride? its not too soft is it? im looking for a firm ride that absorbs the bumps but doesnt bounce or get too out of shape. should i go comfort or medium?

Those shocks will be a bit stiff (I prefer the OME comfort shocks), but that's just IMHO.

I'm awaiting my 881/906 springs to show up, but I'm still concerned that the rear axle might kick out to the passengers side a bit unless I put in the SS panhard bar. Are you still running this setup and if so any problems so far?
I've been running the PP 1" springs and unless I have a lot of weight in the vehicle they are just too stiff. Performance-wise, they handle great on the road...don't even consider offroad, they suck. It's not right when you see a bump or dip in the road and you have to brace/tense up a bit before you roll over it.
Thanks,
Jay

I have 890s and I didn't do anything with my PH bar. My axle may be off by 1/8". Not enough to wory about. After thousands of miles I haven't felt anything bad either. That is without a load also so that will be less with a load. 906s are shorter, I wouldn't worry about it.

No panhard adjustment needed for the 906's
The 890's are borderline, but again I ran them fine without also.

MTL_4Runner..Can you post a picture with your 881/890 and 881/960 combinations. I still cant decide if I want 890 or 960. From what I read, If i get 890 spring and install without cone bumpstop it is equivalent to a 960. Is this correct? Is that .5 a difference from a 890 to 960 visually noticeable?

Here's the pics with each combo:

MTL - I just recently go the PP 1" with bilstein's all the way around, and its much better than before, but I must say that I think its a little too stiff now. I was reading about the 881/906 setup. How much difference in height do you think I will see from the PP to the OME, and how about the ride difference?
Thanks,
Mark

Yeah, I have heard that one too. I know that they are one of the best shock/strut out there, so I figured better take care of the runner...Plan on keeping it a few years...

I personallyt have the Tokico Trekmasters and I think there great. I have them paired with the Tundra/OME lift and have no complains. ~200 for a set and they have a lifetime warranty.

Just some FYI, I had the trekmaster shocks...not the billies with the PP springs. They were still stiffer than the OME coils. I ran both coils with the exact same shocks.

That's why the PP / Bils combo is so harsh.

My ride suggestions are based on the OME setup as I have in my sig.

Right. Makes perfect sense. But, if I want to hold onto the billies, will they work with the OME's? Just wondering if they even will, if you know.
