Got OME coils installed!

i got the OME 900s installed today and i'm really happy with them. they actually provided a lot more lift than i expected out of them. i'm gonna let them settle over the next week and then prob. crank the t-bars just a little to even out the front a little, anyway, here are before and after pics....

Nice ride!!

Hey man, that looks awesome. Sorry I couldn't make it up to your place last weekend, had some last minute stuff come up. Any way the Runner looks good. Since it's getting nice we should plan a Saturday for 4Wheeling. Let me know what you think.

Laterz,

Drew

Looks good. You may want to consider some SDORI ball joint spacers for the front. They will provide you a little lift that should help even your front without having to crank the T-bars too much. It will also help keep the angle of your CV's from being too steep. I sell these SDORI BJ spacers for $109.00 shipped anywhere in the USA or $112.00 to Canada. If you are interested reply to info@trdparts4u.com I am running the OME901HD's with OMEN72f and N98 shocks, OMESD33 steering stabilizer, and the SDORI BJ spacers. As you can see from my Avatar it sits level and it allows me to keep the T-bars relaxed to soften the ride.

yah i'm thinkin about doing the BJ spacers, i just don't have the funds at the moment. i think for now i'm just gonna let it settle over the next week and then maybe crank the t-bars about half an inch or so to level it out just a bit, but not too much. i've also got manual hubs on the way so that'll help with the cv's. one thing i noticed, and i saw another thread about this, is that i'm getting some vibration, especially at higher speeds, from what seems to be the drive shaft. did anyone else notice this after lifting the back and should i be concerned with it at all?

drew:sounds awesome, hopefully in the next couple weeks some trails will be clear enough to do, i'm not sure how well i'll be able to hang with your 4" superlift, but i'll do my best!

You will probably need to put a Pan Hard Bracket on to get your rear axle centered again. I have just ordered mine I am sure that will take care of the vibration I am having. As far as the BJ spacers, I will always stock them. When you are ready just shoot us an e-mail and we will be glad to help you out. Keep us updated on your ride.
