Also the OME front shock is very nice with the huge piston, but it is too long. It will give you too much droop especially with a top out plate, what this will do under certain situations is rip the cage out of the outter CV becuase it was too low and turned. Basically too far out of the safety box, which I why I would put the Tundra TRD coils on the Tacoma Double Cab TRD shocks. Bottom line is that they are not as long and less expensive.
You can run front limiting strpas with the OME shocks and control the droop. But that is then yet another expense.

Believe it or not but they will be a bit stiffer than the OME firm shock, which is silly soft to go with the OME freakin stiff coils. Also you MUST use my aftermarket bumpstops with these shocks or you will over compress them and destroy them.

The yellow Bilstein FZJ-80 shocks I tried back in 2001 were so stiff it was terrible.
I have tested this stuff, the bottom line is that other people don't get things to test unless I have already nooded off on them and test the stuff myself.
Still the only issue may be the e-locker cover if you bend the rear sway bar. I have not had time to deal with at all.

Ah yes, the swaybar issue-not sure if mine is bent or not but it is really close to touching that cover even when it's on flat ground.

Wouldnt happen to have a part # for the FJ80 Shocks I looked up 95 TLC rear shock on ToyotaPartssales.com and came up with $30.20 per shock and no
part #. As soon as this is finalized i will post my build list and let the critique the build, will also need quite a few items from you as well Bump stops, Drop panhard bar, diff spacer, 1/2 top spacer, sheesh your gettin some cash huh?

OK got all the goodies well not all the goodies still awaiting daystar studs and exd. brake lines from AllProOffroad. hmmm to be honest the FJ springs are pretty tall especially because the front looks a lil low w/o spacers damn kinda uneven now that I think about it. Sonoran Steel did great with the soft bumpstops, panhard bar "super badass", 1/2 spacers, thank you Steve I'll be in touch for the bumper soon.

Do they wear evenly? Are the sidewalls as weak as what I have read about?
