    I did this same kit on my 86 Toyota 5 years ago and I agree with the other comments posted. The rear springs will soften but it will take a year or more. I never put on the overload springs, my rear springs hit the stops at about 1600 pounds in the bed and that's more than the 22R likes. The whole ride will improve with stacker blocks under the upper ball joints, a front diff drop will save the stress on your CV joints. Once the upper ball joint blocks are in you can lower the torsion bars to mid range again and the IFS has downward travel which makes all the elements of this suspension kit work together. They are awesome trucks, hope you are still enjoying it.

      Thanks! That's all good info. Front end is similar to what I did on the 100 Series Land Cruiser. Not sure when this truck will get those blocks and diff drop kit, but they'll definitely improve things like you said. Merry Christmas!

    Your rear springs will settle. I had those same springs on 87 4runner. If i had to make a suggestion. Pull the overload spring off each pack. It will ride smoother and flex better. Especially since you don't have weight in the back.

      How does that setup w/o overload springs ride compared to stock?
      My '94 pickup Xtracab 4x4 (22RE, DLX) rides rough, and I get that it's not gonna ride like a Cadillac, but it'd be nice if it was smoother than it is now.
      My setup is stock other than Bilstein replacement shocks (~6 years old), 32" BFG KO2's, and a Total Chaos idler arm. I go offroading occasionally but I don't want a lift as I'm more into motocross, and that'd only make loading dirtbikes more difficult.

    Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m not very knowledgeable about cars but I’m trying to get more into them.
    I recently inherited an 86 Toyota Pickup and I’ve been wanting to replace the suspension, and I’ve considered a 2in lift as well (but I don’t want to do a body lift).
    You mentioned this is a lift kit, but you didn’t use any coils and I don’t think you added any body spacers (at least I didn’t see any or see that process). So my question is, where does the added height come from?
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    • @CaptMaxADV
      @CaptMaxADV  3 місяці тому +1

      No problem. And congrats!
      There are no coils on this type of vehicle. It uses regular old leaf springs in the back and what is called a Torsion Bar for the fronts. T-Bar.
      The rear height increase is from more arched springs, and there are other means to add to this if necessary, and this both overcomes probably 1-2 inches of sag in the rear on these old trucks, but also lifts it all the 2” above original factory height. So you’ll notice a pretty large difference.
      The front T Bars are replaced on this system with thicker diameter rods, which support heavier weight up front. Things like a winch, heavier bumper, off road lights, all the heavy stuff. And the height is set by dialing in the adjuster at the rear, where the T bar is attached to the chassis.
      It is possible to simply adjust the old factory T bars to a higher setting to attain some lift. And some folks do that. But the new replacement ones have a higher ride height on the spline indexing, and can be adjusted to support all that additional weight.
      The shocks up front on a T bar suspension have nothing to do with the suspending of the cars weight. Unlike more modern vehicles where the shock is surrounded by a coil spring and the unit handles all damping AND suspending of the weight. 🤓

    After the lift and bigger tires, were you able to use 5th gear? I have an 86 I purchased new. I have a 3" body lift on it and at one time put 33" Mud Kings on it. For the most part, I was not really able to use 5th gear anymore. I had no problem with 32" BFGs before that. I'm soon going to put new tires on mine and from past experience, will stay with 32" at the highest. My truck was not old at all when I had the Mud Kings on it so there was no power loss due to age, etc. It's still stock today.

      I mean, for a thirty year old truck it's night and day, I mean it supports whatever gear I can load it up with and comfortably gives a nice ride while providing ample clearance for the larger tires that give you the ground clearance you need to tackle most any trail. OME has proven to be a good balance of comfortable performance on and off road on the three trucks I've installed OME suspensions on. I would not hesitate to install it on any truck you've got sir! Would certainly opt for OME over practically any USA made suspension because I'd suspect that most of them are made and sold to give lift without so much for great performance on and off road. I could be wrong, don't have any real experience, but just from what I've observed. OME is dialed! My large Land Cruiser wagons (100 & 80 series) have the HEAVY OME springs and I have never felt like they were overkill when empty but perfect when fully loaded or trailering. The Pickup suspension here I went with the normal setup/non heavy springs. Generally you can just add the sing leaf to the rear pack later if you find that your setup warrants larger load carrying capacity, but I was told by Desk To Glory that the HEAVY set on the pickup is pretty rigid on a lightweight (empty and free of rooftop tent/overlanding outfitting) pickup.

      All shocks I’ve ever installed new are “charged”. Meaning pressurized. The valving usually restricts the flow to a slow rate. When you take off the “retention/shipping” band they always extend. At least from my experience. If ya call and talk to the experts at Cruiser Outfitters in Utah they’d be able to set you straight without any question. Good luck!

      @CaptMaxADV  4 роки тому +2

      Which other suspension? Other lift kits? Or the stock suspension?
      I’ve run Old Man Emu on my trucks for years. They’re a super solid product with excellent customer service and local support through my friend’s distribution and install shop. Cruiser Outfitters in Salt Lake City Utah is my go to supplier for 98% of my Toyota fleet’s needs.
      I wouldn’t bother with any junk you can buy from 4 Wheel Parts. Unless it’s OME or Dobinson, or Icon Suspension.

    • @CaptMaxADV
      @CaptMaxADV  3 роки тому +1

      Yo. Good luck. Fortunately my front end T Bar splines were well greased with intact original boots, so they slid out easy. If yours aren’t then you should definitely soak them for a few days (and all other bolts) with penetrating oil.
      Don’t bother unthreading U Bolts, just cut them. If you do the rear axle.
      What I was grinding where the rear splines on one of the T Bars. I believe that OME mistakenly marked and shipped me two R/H bars. I had to grind out one spline out to line up with the tensioner properly. You’ll see what I mean when you get into it.
      LMK how it goes. 👍🏻

      The Great Salt Lake in Utah, where it’s been it’s whole life, gets things pretty salty. But they treat the roads here in winter with salt for ice.
