    I also heard good things about Old man emu, but went with the Toytec Boss 3/1, very happy.

    OME has been around for quite some time. Aussie made and engineered specifically for the Tundra. Real good engineering info on ARB's website. I like my OME setup just fine. Got a great discount at Toytec.

    I've had OME 614 kit for over 3 & 1/2 years. It has been flawless. If you want heavy-duty maintenance free set-up that's off-road capable, you can't go wrong with the OME kit.

    There are three coils you could go with. If you have a heavy front bumper, you could go with 613. It's the longest coils and is designed for heavy load. I got the medium length coils (614). I got 3.5 inch lift in the front. If you are worried that's too much lift, you could go with 612 (shortest coil). 612 will give you around 3 inches in the front. These are not adjustable, but if you are an install-and-forget-it type of person, this is a good option. There is nothing you have to do to it after installing it.

    Would you need a diff drop with the OME set up?

    Everything. Literally.
    OME is a quality brand as long as you can find an American distributor. It’s an Australian company so whatever you do, don’t ever order directly from them. Unless you can afford to trade your children for shipping.

    Completely agree.
    I have had my OME 614s for about 2.5yrs and 30k miles with zero issues.
    Great quality and capable off road set up for an awesome price.

    I'm going to have to swap in the 613's with my new winch bumper due to the added weight. Probably should have went with the 613s initially but my Ranch Hand guard only added about 100 lbs. My new Body Armor bumper weighs around 175 lbs. I'll try it with 614s to see how it rides before I decide to swap.

    I just installed the OME 612 front with rear springs. Rides much better than stock.

    I was looking to put this set up on my 18' 1794, wanted to know if you ended up getting it, and if so does your friend extend cost pricing to others?

    Nice rig and setup @matluth, would you mind me asking your whole OME system? Do you have UCA's add a leaf or new leads etc.?

    Thanks.Still need to add SPC UCAs. I have stock rear leaves with AAL and nuke proof ToyTec shackles. Contemplating adding Dakar leaf package. Not too sure if I need it. SPC's for sure. Soon... (My Cooper STT Pro M/Ts don't suck either)

    Do you have a 5.7? On ToyTec’s website, it looks like it says the 614s are “Heavy Load-4.7”. Did you get about 3.5” lift like @chphilo and what are you using for rear lift? You truck has a nice stance

    Yes, I have the 5.7 and got about 3.5 inches
    Basically the 614s give you 0.5 inch more lift on the 5.7L with no bumper

    For the rear I was using Toytec AAL and +3 Cb Shackles.

    Running a slightly different set up now
