IM BACK!!! again....

[toyrunner95]

Tires were 265/75/r16 toyo mtr

 

[toyrunner95]

So I'm thinking I could get by with bfg all terrains and the toytec. Any suggestions on which toytec to go with. I don't need a lot of lift. Just better ride and overload capicity.

Have them assemble the front struts and install yourself.

Why get new rims when you already have nice light and strong alloys?

Skip the Open Country MT's they are HEAVY. BFG AT KO's are a good choice. 265/75R16 will look great on your Taco.

Good Luck.

Well the backspacing won't Allow bigger tires. It will rub the uca's

 

[toyrunner95]

And what's the difference between that and the toytec kit BK0510

The toytec stuff is ok but the OME is proven, simple, and works. I think of the toytec stuff as cheap coilovers while the OME is a simple well made well tuned suspension with no "bling" factor. They would probably both work just fine so if you want the toytec stuff there are lots of people enjoying it right now. Check tacomaworld for lots of discussion on lifts.

You mentioned 265/75R16, which will fit with no modifications so a slight lift will change nothing, bigger may need changes.

 

[toyrunner95]

Yeah I was thinking about 285/75r16

Thatt funny. People can pick want they want but I see nothing at all to indicate OME as being better built than toytec. With toytec you get bilstein shocks, with OME you get what I assume is Monroe shocks made to OME specs. You get Eibach springs with toytec. I don't think anyone would say those are "cheap" products from a quality perspective. I personally believe OME and Toytec to be fairly equal, except for the fact you can adjust toytec coilovers as your needs change. I looked hard at both brands and ended up with toytec, but I don't think you can go wrong either way.

Which toytec system did u get Scott c

 

[Owyhee H]

It's good that there are different opinions or we would all have the same truck. OME are not Monroe unless Monroe started making them in Australia. Bilstein are a quality shock that come in many forms and many levels of quality and performance. I think that you can have great performance out of many setups and be happy with each. Good luck finding the right one for you.

So I went to Toyota and asked them what mods I could do that wouldent void the warranty. They told me you can modify whatever you want. But if it leads to a part failure as a direct result then its not covered. So if I put a arb on the front and the shocks go out they aren't covered. Good to know they stand behind their product and engineering as well as their warranty.

It's called the Magnussen-Moss Act. All manufacturer's have to abide by this.

I got the "ultimate" and have been extremely pleased with it.

ARB lifts are made in Australia, but they don't make their own shocks. Those are made in USA by another company and get the OME stickers on them. I could be wrong on this but I thought there was a video of their shocks being made in a California factory.

 

[Owyhee H]

My OME shocks and struts say Australia but the new ones may be different.

Just did a search and confirmed they are Monroe shocks, although most people seem to think a step above standard Monroe fare.
