Question OME leaf pack questions.

I have some OME leafs that I am going to install but I think I should remove some leaf packs or a overload.

I have a 2001 standard cab with the 2.7 and have no weight in the rear. I want to keep the flexyness that the stock leafs have.

Anyone have the same leafs on a Taco?

Yup I got some...I assume your gonna lift the front also? I only removed the extra load leaf on the bottom. I think I got about 3.5 to 4 inches of lift. They flex out to the shock limits so flex isn't really an issue. Did you order the front bushings from toyota for the new springs?

I'd pull the overload and test it. Then remove leafs as needed.

Make sure that your shocks aren't limiting travel. I'd remove the shocks, flex it out and take measurements.

I got the front covered. I got new bushings but not from Toyota they came with the OME stuff.

Front bushings? I got new ones for the OME struts and coils. Is that what you are talking about? Also did you use your stock U-bolts.

The front bushings arent available through OME, only the ones for the upper and lower shackle bushings on the rear.

The front bushings for the rear leaf springs is what im referring too. They are a steel sleeved' one piece bushing. You can buy a new pair from toyota for like 25 dollars. I hear trying to get your old ones out to reuse can be a real PIA.

Yeah you can use your stock U-bolts. What shocks are you using?

Thats fine those are the ones that Im running. I just asked becuase if they were any longer you would have to extend your brake line but you should be fine with those. If you have any other questions let me know. ~D

Now I know what bushings you are talking about the fixed eye bushings. I didn't get those and they were suppose to be included in the kit. I hope to see them monday.
