I put the OME springs on the front of my Double Cab, to make it sit level. Now, a few years later, the front sits slightly higher than the rear. Would you do the OME rear springs again? Oh yeah, here's my rig. Recently semi-retired at 140K.  |

rear tacoma springs wear quickly -- the OEM ones will get sacked out and into funny inverted arch shapes in short order (75K miles) without too much stress on them. i recommend replacement deaver packs for the back. they will support a heftier load, restore the stance of your taco, and will last far longer than the OEM spring setup will. as for OME, their fronts have a rep for sagging after a couple of years -- doesn't sound like that's a problem on your truck. my 2002 taco (pictured prior in this thread) has the deaver 3 leaf AAL's at the back, and donahoe racing coilovers on the front. with about 2.5" lift dialed into the front, the truck sits level to a little nose down. keep in mind i have a 100lb ARB hanging off the front end. you could do the deaver 3 leaf AAL (link 1, or link 2, deaver makes this setup for Wheelers Offroad) and see how that works for you. while AAL is certainly not optimum for true rock crawling, for DD and typical offroad uses it is a good approach. you can install the AAL kit on the rear in about 3 hours with no special effort. ar-jedi |

I just saw one of those involved in a two vehicle accident last Sunday. A car had pulled out in front of the Toyota and lost. From what I could tell (I am not a mechanic) the FJ probably could have driven home with no issues. It was a lower speed crash, but still made me think twice about this as a BOV for myself in the future. If they only had a diesel engine in it... Bigfeet |

I wish I could get to my photos @ the office. Some are located here: good-times.webshots.com/album/551524362FBrkkU
Primary BOV is a '02 Jeep Wrangler (TJ), 2" BDS Lift, 31's, lots of armor, yadda yadda. Backup BOV is a '06 Jeep Liberty Common Rail Diesel. Stock, for the moment. The Wrangler is usually at the house, it's retired from DD duty. I drive my '96 Nissan to work most days. |
