I have a 2017 Toyota Tundra TRD Off Road Limited Double Cab. Right now I have a 2.6" front spacer leveling kit but want to take out and I've been given permission, by my better half, lol, to start building out a complete Overlanding build. I want 3" front and enough lift for the rear to get the rear slightly higher, mild rear to front rake, for this build, and I feel OME is probably the best choice for me. And I would want the full OME BP51 full package and I'm assuming I would need their higher weight front and rear springs for all the extra weight of new F & R bumpers, winch, bed rack, all equipment and roof top tent. I still figue on calling to verify all this prior to purchase but can OME cover all the lift and weight specs that I want for my Tundra? Lol, I've been doing a "rear end" load of research and ALL these brands start to get very confusing after awhile and "piecing" together a suspension system makes my worry if certain things will or won't work together. Kinda want a 1 & Done kinda thing. Hope to hear back from you guys and by the way all of you guys that do your videos are VERY good at your presentation and delivery of the products info. Nice Work guys!!
thanks, glad the videos are helping! To your main question, the OME BP51 "can" get 3" in the front out of the coilover, but thats their limit, and some from ARB would say beyond the limit on the coils that come with the shocks. When you call in, talk with Bowman (this video) about the Dobinsons option, because they have more options on the front coils, and rear springs and rear shocks to both accommodate the needed lift, but also the appropriate length shocks, and its an all-in-one system.
I mean you really can not go wrong with either. Maybe the OME BP51s might be able to be set up for a little more comfort or control under super heavy loads, but you really need to get the suspension working a little harder than you would on the street to feel a big difference.
I'm assuming you have an LX570 is your asking about AHC, otherwise you have kids on the land cruiser. I would be interested to hear if you can fully delete the AHC on the lx570? I don't believe this would work with either system though. I believe you would have to do a full delete. Not sure if you can get rid of the warning lights off the dash etc and how other system sensors would play nicely or not on either vehicle? IH8MUD has a long thread in currently going through on the lx570.
Sorry haven't seen your reply @@TigerRagFishingTeam . I have a LC200, model with AHC and Kids . Sad there is no upgrade for the AHC system. I don't like to remove factory systems from a vehicule.

@Shock Surplus Thanks bud, I appreciate it!!
Oldman or king shocks should be better in city driving ?

What is the service interval for these shocks?
They typically make it about 75k miles or more before needing service
I don't understand how this integrate with existing AHC on the vehicule. Do you have to completely remove AHC ?

Clearly for a non AHC Cruiser
