OME suspension Q

[Jux]

Are there any special instructions/parts/ etc... I should have before installing OME front shocks and springs? I got the OME 880 spring and 91s shock.

I just recently bought this vehicle and the guy before me had installed OME 906 springs in the rear but nothing up front. I just want tpo match the front to back.

Thanks in advance for any input.

check out sonoran steel

website and read the 96-02 4Runner lift FAQ section at bottom of the webpage

880s in front with 890s in the rear is a common choice for the Old Man Emus.

the 906s are identical to the 890 OME spring-but with no center cone I think it is hold on let me re-read the FAQs

yes see #11 and here is the link

I encourage you to read this extensively and then read it again. Steve at Sonoran is widely respected and knows his 3rd gen lifts.

The front strut loading can be a dangerous operation. Be sure you know what you are up against before possibly hurting yourself.

You'll need a spring compressor (if you didn't know already). With the N91S's being 1" longer than stock the hardest part is getting the lower control arm down far enough to get the bottom bolt in. I used the factory jack between the wheel well liner and the upper control arm to force everything down. Both sides probably took me 3 hours and six-pack.

Thanks for the reply's. I've looked over the sonoran steel site but only scanned it rather than reading. I'll be sure to do that.
