OME Coil Bind

I was checking out my truck today, and I realized that 4 of the winds on my OME 891's were touching up at the top. Sag city, I'm guessing. I'm just curiuos if any of you have noticed this and how many winds are touching. Also, my panhard is almost level again. Sagging is happening.

Well have you heard about the Sonoran Steel Trac/Panhard bar and the Super Soft bump stops?

Call ARB and ask them why your saggin, they are my BEST sales people.

Yah yah...I know..I need the longer bumpstops. :pat:

I was just curious how common this is and to what extent.

If you have 891's and stock bump stops, you have it.


You can always buy another set of 891 coils in a year or so.

I smell a sweet price for the bolt on bumpstops and drop bar via a group buy.....:winkwink:

I'm probably correct when I assume that ARB won't warrant the springs.

I think they will ask you if you have lowered bump stops. Now all 891's do settle with time, so you have to destinguish between that and over compression.

But the bottomline is that if you don't drop the stops, you'll over compress.

"The 890s and 891s were never designed for the 4Runner due to the amount of lift you get. Once you go above the 2" range you should be lowering the bumpstops to keep from over compressing them. When the coils start dropping down to where they are touching each other, that is what causes them to go flat from coil bind." ARB Engineer from ARB in Seattle in an e-mail to Jayson Blanchard

Why not make the winds further apart?? I've screwed myself on this. When I first did the lift, I had no clue about the bumpstops so I just cut off the cones.

The coils are progressive, they are desined that way. Sorry, I just make the fix, not the product.
