OME suspension question

[apinti]

Hi Guys,

I have decided to install an OME nitro-charger option on my truck. I'm thinking Slee stock kit, with 2702 front and 2722 rear. This is a 2" increase in the front and .75" in the rear. I have three questions:

First - With this set-up, can I still install the Toyota front struts spacer, or it will be to high to level the truck?
Second - Slee offers 2702 front, but the OME site only list the 2700 as an option for LC 200 stock. 2702 is not an option with any configuration, medium or heavy loading. Any ideas why? I found the specs for the springs and 2702 are a bit longer, and can take a slightly heavier load.
Third - Any of you running this configuration with bull bar and a winch. I don't have them now, but i will at some point in the future. Just wondering if I'll have to replace the springs after.

Thank you a bunch for your help. It is greatly appreciated.

Best Regards,

Mitch

If you choose springs based on weight you do not yet have, you may be in for a pretty harsh ride while you wait for those later mods.

ARB predicted measurements are almost always lower than the real lift you get. My theory is that it may have to do with legal lift limitations in Australia. Not sure. If I were you, I'd just call Slee Offroad and ask. They'll listen to what you're after and advise.

I think 2722's will actually net you closer to 3" in the rear. Or maybe I just got "lucky".

Definitely good idea to get real world feed back from those who have run OME. Just figured I posted ARB's application guide in case you haven't seen it: http://arbusa.com/uploads/PDF/accessorizeYourRig/toyotaLandCruiser200.pdf It provides all the different spring/shock combos and what lift they provide. That way you know what you would need now and what you'd have to replace down the road as you add bumpers/weight/etc.
