*UPDATE* just bought 901 OME coils

a pair of 901 OME rear coils from Phil at Toyota of Dallas. i usually don't tow alot of things but if i do it shouldn't sag as much as my stock springs did! i'm really considering the doetsch tech prerunner shocks that have a half firm ride so that will help me out a little with towing if i need it. maybe next week ill get 4crawlers bj spacers and my 1" diff drop ill post pics before and after the ome's are on. im hoping after the bj spacers and diff drop is in that i can crank my torsion bars way down to give me that extra comfort up front that i've missed!

Thats what I have on my rear and they are a big improvement over stock. Cranking the torsion bar up front will not improve comfort only good shocks and tires will do that will do that.

i have the torsion bars cranked up right now to clear these 31x11.50's. im hoping that the diff drop and bj spacers will level me up with the rear while i crank the bars back down.

I am running the 901 HD OME springs and have sold alot of sets to Yota Tech members. I have had no complaints and I really like the fact I can carry alot of weight without worrying about a saggy butt. Im sure your 900 OME will be just fine. If they do sag you may want to consider adding a rear spacer.
Here is a link to a rear spacer:https://www.yotatech.com/forums/show...91&postcount=1

I should have ordered the 901's but i was thinking of ride quality on the highway...but if i got a softer shock then that would compensate a little with the stiffer springs...right? the 2" spacers sound good...but unfortunately here in VA the law is 24" from ground to bottom of bumper and right now i am sitting 28" in the front and 20" in the rear.

2" spacers will only lift you 2"more. That should put you at 22". If 24"' is the legal height you could add this without any problem. Good luck with your project and let me know if I can help..............

Freight to you is $18.00. That's $135.64 to your door. That's the best I can do. If you place your order now I'll process it on Tuesday so you have enough time to get another $9.00 in your account. What did you do about shocks? OME N72F for the rear and N98 for the front are what I would suggest. They are $129.70 a pair. That is the setup I am running and it is what OME recomends.Let me know if that will work....

true...hey while you're here I cannot find this part because i don't really know the name of it and i don't know the part #. Its the part that is on top of the center timing idler that lets coolant flow thru it. Its currently leaking and I changed out my timing belt and idlers...but i got silicone gummed on it right now and its leaking more every day. I also have a leak at my steering box and I need a seal. Its the seal that is on the box that leads to the shaft going to the steering column. Can't seem to find it anywhere in auto parts stores here. thanks again!
