Hey guys and gals all over the inter-webs!! We are doing big things to the Good Vibes Ride!! The day has finally come to say goodbye to the stock suspension and hello to bigger and better things. We installed the Old Man Emu Tacoma lift by ARB. I decided on this lift because as a beginner when it comes to off roading, it seemed like the best place to go. I couldn't be happier with the outcome!
As a disclaimer, I am by no means a professional mechanic nor do I have a lot of experience putting suspension lifts on vehicles. If you decide to put this lift or any other lift on your truck, I would suggest following the provided directions, or doing all the research you can beforehand.
Thank you for watching and see you on the next one!!

@bossman429 4 года назад

Just FYI the bottom rear strut bolts should go the other way. Head by the drum. Just so you can drive them out in the future Also looks like you put the centering washer on the bottom of top of the rear shock. That goes on top of the bottom bushing into the shock mount hole. This is the thinner of the 3 washers

@coletrump8149 5 лет назад

I guess ill be the guy to tell u the grease goes inside the sleeves so the bolts dont sieze inside them. Trucks definitely comin along tho man. Hope to see ya soon ✌

Great install video! Very thorough with clear and easy to understand tips! It's been a lot of years for me since I have done any complete suspension overhauls and this video instilled my confidence that, yeah, I can do that! I'm ordering my OME kit today for my 1st gen Taco! Any additional advice you would give looking back on this? Any follow up comments as to how the lift is still functioning? Thanks again for the great content! 🤙

Well done for doing this whole job yourself. I often lubricate my springs when they start squeaking. The original Toyota springs are packed better but the aftermarket are superior.

Hi great video. I initially installed Ironman leaf springs and shocks on my Hilux. I'm on my second OME shocks. The ironman shocks lasted for about 80,000km and worse they started leaking. I've done over 525,000km on my 2009 Hilux. The ride is the same between the two but OME last longer.

Great video! I was researching the same lift and found your video. I'm wondering what the height of your truck is with the 285s and the lift. I'm interested in a similar setup and would still love to park in the garage I paid for lol. Thanks and keep em coming!

@davehill7484 3 года назад

Great video 👍, you mentioned installing a transfer drop down kit with this lift, just wondering because this kit doesn’t come with any drop down kit other than the main drive shaft bearing bracket lowering shims, did you find it necessary to add a transfer lowering kit for this set up?? And if so what about a skid plate lowering shim as well as a front sway bar relocation bracket? I’ve got a 2019 TRD off road with a ready lift SST 3” spacer in front and a 2” blocks in the rear which I’m looking to swap out for the OME kit with heavy duty front and rear springs but am a little concerned that the kit won’t be complete with only offering the springs shocks and the lowering shims for the rear drive shaft.

@GhettoFabulous670 3 года назад

Hey man! Great video! I have a few questions, hows the lift right now? Are you still on ome? Has the front ever sag? Ive heard ome coil ends up sagging. And are you on stock uca? If so hows the alignment, have you gotten the truck to be aligned?

Great vid! Did you go with the softer or firmer valving in the front? Im about to pull the trigger on this lift. Also did you use the top spacer plate to get the full 3 inches of lift? And hows the vibration from the rear end if any, i noticed that there was no 3 degree shim on the bottom of the leaf pack.

@HoangNguyen-cp9kq Год назад

So nice I like that

@brightfalls6788 2 года назад

How do the shocks feel compared to the old Bilstein's? Are they stiffer over bumps? I'm hesitant to go with "fancy" Nitro shocks again due to a set of Fox 2.0s I had riding like a small boat in a hurricane and nearly causing concussions and slipped discs on rough roads.

@jamieyarbrough5229 Год назад

I know this was 3 years ago but I have A Tacoma with old man emu an it only gave me a 1” lift in front from stock . I want more so I can look level to rear . I know the rear has the medium load leaf pack . I bought truck with it already on . An what size tire did you run with that lift?

@legion1630 4 года назад

how long did you ride the stock for until you got the OME

@ericcantu2041 4 года назад

How's the leaf springs? I'm in between those and the icon rtx

@dlg5485 4 года назад

Did you measure the distance to the fender before and after? It's my understanding that this is the only way to really know exactly how much lift you wind up with. I'm leaning toward something like this. I want to keep things as simple as possible while improving ride quality and off-road performance. I also think the Bilstein 6112/5160 setup with OME HD leafs is a great setup too and probably cost similar to this. I'm planing to add a slide-in camper to my rig eventually, so I might need heavier leafs than these, perhaps the Deaver stage 3, but they are $1000 a set! Anyway, Nice video!

@jameshoward3071 4 года назад

How much lift did you get with the 886 springs up front with no spacers

@Jorilla.333 3 года назад

When u bought the leaf springs, did they come wit the new U bolts and bushings???

@randycheung5709 4 года назад

Hey I was wondering if you had to do a cab mount chop to fit these? Great looking truck. I was looking at the same lift and the new BR6 wheels

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

R C thank you! I didn’t do a cab mount chop. I haven’t had any rubbing except a quarter of an inch on the front bumper when I’m at full lock turning. I also haven’t done too aggressive off roading yet, so I’m sure when I do that I’ll rub in the back. Thank for watching!

@drewsky1008 4 года назад

The lift look's sweet ,great job🤙😎💯 How high is your lift...?

@SpencerAzevedo 4 года назад

Hey, great video. I also have the OME lift with 887 and ICON 1.5 AAL. Did you install differential drop and a carrier bearing drop? I installed the sway bar relocation since I was rubbing on my coils.

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

SpencerAzevedo right on! I did do a carrier bearing drop. It took care of almost all vibrations. I didn’t change the sway bar link though

@47gomez47 4 года назад

@@TheGoodVibesProject Question for you, what are your center of wheel to fender measurements for the front and rear? Mines not leveled, rear sits much higher

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

Christopher Gomez it’s currently pouring out where I live, so when it stops I can go measure, but when I finished mine, the rear sat a good bit higher as well. It took putting some weight back there to help settle those leaf packs.

@AKBRONCOSFAN007 4 года назад

Great video, just came across it. What was the deciding factor that made you choose OME vs say Bilstein’s, ICON or Fox? If I follow through with a deal I made on a ‘19 TRD OR I’m considering OMEs as well but I’m wondering how they would perform in the arctic cold of interior Alaska??? Anyhow, I’ll start watching your videos, btw great choice of wheels! 👌

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

AKBRONCOSFAN007 thank you! I went with OME for a couple reasons. 1) I am new at this. I don’t have much experience off roading. In my head I’m going right to moab and hitting some trails, but in reality I don’t have much access to pretty heavy off roading trails where I live, so I would be selling Kings, icons, or fox shocks short for what they are designed for. It was a tough choice between OME and Bilstein’s, and ultimate went with OME because of their reputation in the overland community for so long. You could say the same for Bilstein’s too though. , 2) the price. The more I saved on the lift, the more I could put towards other things for the truck. Ultimately the more off-roading I do, and the more experience I gain, I believe things on the truck will be upgraded. My hope is to someday put kings the truck, but for now OME is a good fit.

@sergeantinfantrymen1468 4 года назад

Awesome video! Was this the 2 inch or 3 inch? Also where did you buy from that had the trim packer included to account for taco lean?

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

Sergeant Infantrymen it was sold as the 2 inch lift. It was closer to three for a few months before it settled though. I ordered it off toytec.com. It gives an option to add the spaced to the driver side.

@TheGoodVibesProject 4 года назад

Grenado thanks for watching and for the comment! I’m going to be doing a wives video on the lift next week, but I am not super happy with the heavy duty leaf packs. With just the cap and a spare in the bed, it has dropped a good bit, even below what I think should be considered the ride height. They also settled in a strange “w” pattern which ARB said was normal when I emailed them. For you, I would look into deaver springs. Those are what I’m going with in a few months.

Joshraskin I didn’t do the cab mount chop yet. I haven’t done aggressive enough off roading yet to have an issue with rubbing. I have a small bit of rubbing on the front driver side wheel well liner at full lock going in reverse, other than that no troubles. I went with the soft valves
