2" lift with OME coils + Bilstein shocks?

[concretejungle]

OME, Monroe. Rancho also is made or owned by Monroe USA?

from OME Australia.

Monroe Australia, as the only shock absorber manufacturer in Australia, does produce the Nitrocharger range for ARB under agreement to ARB. In this agreement ARB (Old Man Emu) is the only private brand 4x4 shock absorber range that Monroe can make, other than their own Gas Magnum range. All other 4x4 shock absorbers are imported. The OME product has a number of exclusive features compared to the Monroe Gas Magnum product. They are: 18 mm Piston Rod compared to 16 mm in the Gas Magnum Triple Lip Check Valve Oil Seal compared to mufti lip seal type 1.6 mm Reserve tube thickness compared to 1.3 mm Most importantly, the OME Nitrocharger range has many hundreds of hours spent on valving engineering to ensure the shock absorber is matched to the OME coil range, as well as the OEM coils. This why in most cases there are a choice of part numbers to choose from for an individual vehicle. The Monroe Gas Magnum is valved as a replacement for the original shock and therefore has only 1 part for each application. I hope this clarifies things for you.

Sweet, you da man!

Also was going to add, if the shocks don't have a long enough stroke, just lower the shock mount by welding a plate lower down the shock tower. Check out action jackson's mod section.

Howdy y'all! So I'm now considering just a 2" lift with OME Medium coils. Anybody know what Bilstein part number should I get to fit my FZJ-80?

I recognize ol' info that said the problem with Bilstein shocks is that they're just the same length for stock Toyota shocks. What I want to know if there's any update to this?

As again, many thanks to all for your kind replies!

Bilstein has many different types and models of shocks. Depending on which ones you are getting I would go Bilstein or OME if you have the cash OME LTRs. You can get longer shocks, they come in different lengths. All the best.
