For those of you with ome lifts

[MARSHALLMAY]

I'm ordering my ome soon but i'm not sure what to go with. The heavy duty, medium duty and light duty options are my concern. I'm set on heavy duty on the front since i'm also adding the winch and arb bumper. But i'm not sure what to go with in the back. Im not sure if i should get medium or heavy duty coils. Anyone with first hand experience and advice?

i have 891's in the back and i love em.

inless you are towing, id suggest the 890s.

891s feel good with weight, which I have a lot of in the back with subs, hi lift, camera equip and what not. otherwise it may ride harsh

front end i would actually go with tundra coils and ome shocks or trd shocks with a top out. I have a tjm but not a winch yet. these coils ride good

i do not mind a firm ride. In fact, I don't like a soft ride. I used to have an f250 and i loved the firm ride. I'm looking on wheelersoffroad.com at the ome lifts and they have the 891 and 892. I was thinking of going with the 892s but i'm worried the back will be much stiffer than the front, resulting in a unbalanced feel. So i'm leaning towards the 891s.
neliconcept why do you say to get the tundra coils for the front?

 

[neliconcept]

they'll give you more lift then 881s. can handle a winch and bumper and dont ride soft but feel great.

You really need to search over at yotatech.com lot more answers over there

from what i gather at yotatech, tundra springs give maybe a quarter to half inch more lift. Thats less than half the width of my thumb. Not much if you ask me. It might just be easier to order a complete ome lift and not have to go different places for parts.
so will 285/75s rub with an ome lift?

I also have top out spacers.. i get a full inch maybe 1.25 inchs more then a OME setup in the front.

in your info you say you have spacers being replaced with tundra coils soon...
do you have them or not?

i have tundra coils, i dont update my sig everytime i change something

 

[neliconcept]

just a lil curious here. In your first pic, i'm not seeing any front drive shaft. Am I seeing that right?
by the way, looks great.

you mean CV, yeah its not there, building it into an expedition vehicle, right now its the most capable 2wd ever, but im doing a conversion which will entail new front end with front air locker (already have rear locker), crawler box with a 23 spline case, cryoed gears and fully built driveshafts and tundra cvs

a buddy of mine had a lifted 2wd. He put mud terrains on the front like you did. I think that's hilarious. as far as most capable 2wd ever, sure, ok, maybe it is. but it's still 2wd :lmao:

 

[neliconcept]

i went through tellico without having to be pulled out or anything, to be honest i bet i have more capabilities in some situations then you do with 4wd on the rocks, hilarious? i think not.

 

[neliconcept]

Pissing match anyone? Looks great and it yours so do what you want...nice job so far! Of course I want bigger tires and more height and more everything, but this (lame pic in one of my earlier posts) is my daily driver so I'm keeping it tame. Now if I had a house with work space and a different daily driver then I'd really build mine up. Am working to find a good swing away tire carrier/bumber combo for the rear, and some rubber covered push bars like the cops got for the front, and lastly some "perimeter" lights for mounting on the roof rack cross bars.

i hear ya on the bumper/tire carrier, something I want bad but need to wait until my truck is fully built.

I used my yakima crossbar for light mounts but it isnt all that sturdy, I know they do make light bars for the top but i cant remember what stores had them

hmmm, sure partner, whatever you say. Try going through soft beach sand. Or slippery mud holes. Or deep snow. You wouldn't stand a chance against a 4x4, locker or not. Stop even for a second and you'll be flagging someone down for a tow. More capable in 2wd? Hey I have that too...
Bottom line, I'm not discrediting your ride. Yes, it looks bad ass, and is probably very capable in the hands of a skilled driver.
But
When you say a 2wd is more capable than a 4wd, i cant help but wonder in which situations that might be true, and also, why do you plan to convert to 4wd?

People always have different ideas on how to build their dream. I wouldn

tell me how 4x2 is better on the rocks. Then I'll tell you how to get maple syrup from a cactus.

 

[neliconcept]

a locked 2wd under off camber rocks can get up that #### before a 4x4 with stock tires hence yours could even try, youd destroy a CV before you got half way up.

did I say a fully built 4wd? nein

your snide ass remark about my 2wd wasnt necessary or else I wouldnt be flaming you like I am

keep comments to yourself, nobody asked your stupid opinion
