Lift Choices

Well all of the info has been great keep it coming. I guess it will really come down to what Donahoe has to offer and how much money I have to throw at it when I get back as to which way I go.

It's coming. Our head engineer is playing with some coil springs right now.

Is there any news on this? I am really having a tough time deciding between the coilovers (donahoe) and OME setup (from slee). I want to do the job right the first time on '06 sport 4x4 sport. If you put the coilovers up front what are people doing on the rear? spacers on the X-reas?? or new springs and shocks?
 
disregard my question, I didn't get a chance to read the second page of this thread.

So I guess the #1 recommendation is the donahoe coilovers up front and the OME coils w/ mediun shocks in the rear.

Where is a good place to order the ome coils and shocks?

Thanks for the info, this thread answers my most difficult questions.

We are still waiting ...

I am about to give up on the Donahoe rear solution and order some custom made coils.

LOL, I guess then that I shouldn't be holding my breath while waiting.

I'm concerned you might be right. It's sad, since these vehicles have actually been out for 3 1/2 years! I mean the new FJ's just out and Donahoe had stuff for that when it hit the street. I really have been holding out for a 4-corner Donahoe solution, but I may end up having to do something different -- summer's coming.

RL - Maybe I missed it, but what lift did you use in the rear? OME?

I still have the NE spacers with Mike's Off-Road shocks, while waiting for Donahoe to complete their design. However, if they don't offer springs and shock for a 3" lift, I will go elsewhere.
 
RL - Did you rip out all the Xreas components or just cap off the lines when you removed the shocks.

Thinking real hard about going with a coil-over susp., but not sure about what to do with the Xreas. If I just cap off the lines for possible later re-installation, I don't want the lines leaking.

The Xreas is in a box in the attic. One rear shock seal was ruined anyway.

I've really been holding out for this product. WHEN!!!??? Please help me!

Here's your post from about a year ago that said the same thing:

Please?!
Just looking for an update, it has been another couple of weeks, is the head engineer finished playing with the coil springs?
 
Thanks RL-

I've been seriously considering the OME system but after reading your comments concerning the Donahoe Coils I'm having second thoughts. Sounds like the Donahoes are the way to go, at least in the front. Hopefully they develop a system for the rear soon.

Thanks for the PM Dave, just got it and subsequently found this thread.
 
Well I guess the wait is still on because the Donahoe guy has never replied back saying they have come up with a rear coil option. I guess I will be going with OME because I really hate having to mix and match suspension parts for a lift. Maybe something will be done before I abuse my credit card, but I am not holding my breath.
 
Yeah, I am disappointed that there hasn't been a rear set-up. I am not too familiar with modding vehicles but I would prefer not to mix and match but rather buy one suspension system that has been tuned to work together.

I am waiting too. On the few occasions I have emailed for information I have yet to receive a response. It seems that if you are going to go to all of the work to tune the coil overs from the Tacoma to work for the 4Runner than it would be worth it to finish of the suspension system with the right fit in the back.

Eventhough there are other alternatives again I would prefer a matched system. I don't have BFG in the front and Revos in the back. Same here.

Tick tock tick tock...
 
Whats the going price for the different spacer lifts compared to the ome springs and shocks. I assume 200-300 for the spacer lifts and about 700 for the OME if I remember. Am I close on these?

If anyone knows the cheapest place for the OME kit it would be greatly appreaciated.
:cheers:
