Im really looking at changing my suspension setup for my 92 4Runner to the OME setup. How do they handle on washboard roads? I am running ranchos right now and it feels like my Runner is almost hydroplaneing when i hit consistent bumps, and even when i hit a pothole i feel the whole thing just hit, no absorbance. Also if anyone has any pics of there OME setup on a 2nd gen it would be great. Thanks very much. BTW I have already searched all the posts, but just havent found the right answers.

 

Hey there, The Ride is awsome!! Thats all I can say!! Just get the Med coils unless you are going to load your rig down with a bunch of stuff.

Here is my 1990 Runner with Old Man Emu shocks and coils sitting on 31s

 

Pics are in the sig.

I think the ride is awesome personally.
In the past week, I have ridden in a 2005 Nissan X-trail, and a 2004 Nissan Xterra and a 2004 Honda CRV (friends vehicles), and my truck has been much smoother than ALL of them on washboard roads (comparing them on the exact same road).

 

Scofco, whats an X-trail?

 

How come nobody knows what an X-trail is?

Do you not have these in the US?

 

for the coils is it OME 900 or 901? 4x4 connection has it as OME900. Any other good places to buy from?

 

Scofco, how do you like them M/Ts??

 

900 is the Medium ones.
901 is the Heavy Duty.

 

No, we don't have X-trails here, Just the Xterras, pathys, and Armadas. Not a bad looking soccer mom vehicle.

 

 

Wow, I didn't know that!
I was fairly impressed with it actually. It's my pick of the litter as far as economical SUV's go. I think he paid $33,000 CND for it, and it has a 165hp 4-litre motor. Plus a rear locker, which seems to come stock on everything these days

 

You can order OME here if you would like

Scofco, which rear coils did you do, and would you have rather done the other one?

 

901's. I wouldn't change a thing.

I don't often do large heavy loads, but when I do, it's nice to have the extra boost. The ride quality in my mind is still great.

 

whats the difference btwn n98 a and n88 for the front shocks,,two different numbers from two different places

 

also what is the part number for the universal fit low profile bump stops from energy susp

 

the x-trails in mexico come with the option of an sr20det with variable timing that makes 270hp stock, no bad for a 2ltr motor I used to be way into the sr20 and this was the prize sought after by most on the board.

 

This is exactly the thread I need! Now I got all the part numbers . Do you guys think that I can just buy the OME coils and shocks right from ARB? Their HQ is like 30 minutes from me, in Seattle. Scofco, your rig is sick, just how I want mine to look.

 

any ideas on the aftermarket bumpstops part number?

 

www.rocky-road.com has a pretty good deal... you can get a the rear coils (HD/MD), front and rear shocks AND a steering dampener for around 500 bucks... That's pretty good to me... I think you just have to specify how big a tire you're planning on running... not sure though... I've only heard good things about OME...
