I'm wondering if anyone has tried using the OME shocks with the stock springs. I'm looking for a more controlled ride than the floaty stock setup, but I don't want it to be harsh like the Bilsteins. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Also, does anyone have experience with the AirLift1000 setup? How well does it work?

Thanks for your help.

 

Yea, I'd like to know the same thing and if anyone has OME shocks with PP 1 inch lift springs.

Thanks

 

OK,since the "search" function isn't showing much how about OME springs with Bils? Right now I just want something with a 1 inch lift and a good price/vendor.

 

I have all OME equipment, front and rear coils and shocks, best money I've spent yet. I got all mine for around $600. The ride is so much better than the OEM stuff there is no comparison.

 

Right now I have stock springs with OME comfort shocks (shock were put on yesterday) and the airlift 1000.

The ride with the OME's is pretty good. The roads in Louisiana are pretty bad but they do a great job of smoothing out the ride. But remember what we are driving is a truck. It will never be as smooth as a car.

The Airlift 100 works real well. A change from 7psi to 12psi makes a huge difference (height and stiffness). It also makes it easier to work on the back end. Just pump it to 25 psi and you've got about 3 inches of more room. The only drawback is that if you are towing the LSPV thinks you are lighter than you really are and all your braking power is sent to the front tires.

I will be pulling the stock coils out and replacing them with OME's and leaving the Airlift setup inplace.

I just purchased ome 881 front coils and 890 rears. I used n86c shocks in the rear and n91s on the front. Can anyone tell me what else will need done to sit level, and be able to put 285's on a 2001 4runner?

I want it to look just like the white 4runner with grey flares on the extreme offroad web sight. This truck is said to be the companies.

Anyone know what suspension, how much of a lift, and tire size he is using?

Any help would be great.

Add in a differential drop in the front to reduce your CV angles more back to stock and you'll be good to go.

 

That is similar to my setup but I have "C" shocks up front plus trim packers. I only saw about 1 5/8" lift up front and I have a TJM w/o winch. I did not install my diff drop since I did not get as much lift as I expected.
I have had the OME's installed for a few months and have not seen any settling yet.
There is a picture of my rig (Steve posted it) on page 28 of the Sonoran rear bumper thread
HERE .

If i have a stock 4runner, do you think it will sit level. Also, would you suggest smashing the pinch weld in the wheel well or will 285's clear. I don't do ANY
off road action.
THanks

With that combo, my 4Runner is a little higher in the back. I even put trims in the front but I really only saw a little over 1.5 inches with the TJM (no winch).
I have added a Sonoran Steel rear bumper that is a skosh heavier than the stock bumper and hitch but the rear is still a little too high.
I plan on building a custom storage area back there that should add enough weight to get me where I want and still provide a decent ride.
I don't know about 285's. I am still running my stock Dunflops.
