I know this has been covered many times but I just wanted to get current opinions on where I ended up with my suspension decision. I'm currently at just under 100k on my 08 200 and am finally ready to upgrade from the stock suspension. I have young kids so most almost all of my offroad adventures are more toward the mild overland side around AZ and the SW usually towing my Moab Fort XL camping trailer. I decided on the below setup and just want to see if anybody thinks I should change anything. I currently have Rock Warriors with 285/70/17's with KO2s. Sliders (thinking white knuckle) will be next upgrade soon, Skids after that. Bumpers someday....but that's a way down the line.
1 - OME2702 Front OME Coils (Pair)
2 - 91005 Front OME Nitrocharger Sport Struts
1 - OME2722 Rear OME Coils (Pair)
2 - 61029 Rear OME Nitrocharger Sport Struts
Front SPC upper control arms
Front differential drop kit
I debated over saving up longer for a Icon or BP-51 setup but It sounds like the bang for the buck on the OME classic setup is hard to match. I also really like the long-term reliability of the OME setup that has been proven for many years now around the world. I also was very influenced by a youtube video "Paul May's 200 Series Land Cruiser Walk Around" and his decision to sacrifice a little performance for the tested reliability of the OME setup. I am a bit jealous of the flashy Icon and King and Fox setups but I really can't justify 5-6 times the expense for what I'm going to be doing. As far as Upper Control Arms go I like the look of Total Chaos but I've heard from numerous people the squeak a bunch and I'd be better with SPC.
1 other question, what amount of lift should I expect with this?
Thoughts?
