New OME901's Installed *Pics*

So long Saggy Rear End!!Thought I'd represent the OME crowd with some pics of my 4runner! Thanks to all who have posted any directions/tips regarding this install--with a little bit of help from my neighbor and you guys, I clocked in at around 3 hours total. Do you all think I should crank the T-Bars to get an extra inch out of the front end as well[IMG][IMG][/IMG][/IMG]?

Thanks, guys. I think the 31x10.50's will probably have to stay though-- it's my daily driver, and my mpg is about average (15-16 mpg). But if I ever get a little commuter car...

Did you do anything to it besides the taller springs as far as your suspension goes?

looks good! that's exactly the stance mine had when i put the 900's on it. it seems a bit high at first but the more you look at it the more you'll like it.

That's how I kinda felt at first, rentedmule. My wife thinks I'm crazy 'cause I slip out every now and then to have a look at it, and it does grow on you-- She wants to know why I don't look at her that way!!
And sts2usnss, I've only got stock Monroes on it for now, and plan on getting a longer brake line and longer shocks for the rear this week-- looks like I'd definetely be pushing it if I kept stock length shocks and brake line.

i didn't have the money for the OME shocks when i got mine so i put on some longer monroes - i can probably find the part #s for you if you need them. here's a pic of mine after the 900's

Thanks, but celica gave me the Monroe part # a few days ago, and being a penny-pincher, I cross referenced that # with my local Napa store and found them to be a little cheaper, but they are blue, not yellow. Thought about just scuffing the shock body and trying to close match the yellow. Also, I've got some 1.5" wheel spacers on the way-- any opinions??
