MT64s as a whole product line are newer than this issue was on BPs.
I’d like to know why ARB/OME still seems to think that upper shock mount scheme works.

Well, I got this sorted out. There’s no clunk, no squeak/chirp, no movement, and it feels great. It’s as if Toyota knows best
You can see there’s been some movement that shouldn’t be there. So, here’s (my) solution (I’ll edit my first post for future solution-seekers):
Use ALL your original Toyota parts EXCEPT for the OME bottom and top washers as well as the smaller diameter thick washer that sits directly under the nut.
The OME top and bottom washers are slightly thicker than the Toyota washers, which helps preload the bushings a bit more.
The Toyota rubbers are a little taller than the OME, outer diameter is the same and so is the hole. I have no idea how they compare with regard to durometer, but they feel similar.
That’s all, folks. I’ll update if anything changes.
Thanks for posting that up with pics for the rest of us! Cheers!View attachment 4049637View attachment 4049638

I meant to get a lot more photos of the washer/bushing stack but it was a rough day and I was VERY ready to get out of the shop.
Please keep posting up your thoughts on the MT64's, and let us know what you are doing for height in the front and what weight you're running if you can. I'm hoping to pick up a 200 Series in the next several months, and I think I'm going with the MT64 as well. Thanks again.

I’m still on the 3rd circlip from the lowest position on the front and the OME 2720 springs in the rear. I’m happy with how it sits right now.
I don’t have any appreciable weight that I carry regularly.
