OME Rear Coils Installed

Got OME Coils for Christmas and got them installed today. Added about 2-3" of lift in the rear. Probaby need to adjust the front now to the tallest setting on my 5100s.

nice scotty...looks great...now all you need is some tires!! LOL

Very nice. Something Id like to get done when $$ frees up... Ive just got a spacer life right now.

Tire are for sure on my list...already took advantage of my next birthday which isn't till February...maybe I can get an early father's day gift?

If you keep working it forward, in the end you won't have to play catchup

Whaaa, we are just talking about holidays you can get gifts for. It is a real holiday, click on the link, it is safe.

It's all good...I am a big fan of those holidays as well.

Nice Scotty !

After having the new coils on the back for a couple weeks, I think I need to lift the front AGAIN. I have the Bilstein 5100s up there with another adjustment slot left. That should give me about 1/2 inch or so. Might need to add some spacers to level it...

Scott, Toytec sells a 1/2" spacer that goes on top of the coil over struts. I bought a pair, but am only using one on the driver side to correct the FJ lean. I think they were around $50.

My next suspension upgrade will probably be a set of 5100's for the front. Let us know what happens when/if you move them to the last slot. I am hoping they will add some support and level me out since I am about a 1/2 inch low in the front.

Brian, how do the spacers get installed? Did you do it yourself?

I didn't do the installation myself. I had it put on when I had the rest of my suspension/tires put on. This is the best pic of the spacers that I have. I can probably take a better one if you would like. I have 2.5" spacers that push the coils down, and the 1/2" spacer goes above the plate between that and the mounting point. Longer bolts were required, but I think that comes with the spacers (not positive as I order my stuff as a package). I don't think a spring compressor would be necessary to just add the top 1/2" spacer. I wish I was more skilled in these things, but I am not. So this is info I can offer. Hope it helps.

Nice I like it !

Thanks for the picture and info.

This is a link to the plate spacers. This one shows a 3/4", but I think you can get them in any size between 1/4" - 3/4". You might have to call them. Everyone says the support is great. My set up came with the 2.5 inch coil spacers and a set of 1/2" plate spacers.

Ha, I really wanted you to look at my suspension again! Corrected the link above. Sorry about that.

thanks Brian
