    Anyone here running the Old Man Emu Nitrocharger full kit?
    If so how are you liking it?
    Any issues with install?
    Did your truck end up level or with rake?

    Has been many discussions and comparisons of OME suspension. This is one of the several threads https://www.tundras.com/threads/old-man-emu-lift.20835/

    OME makes quality stuff and pricing is good. If you install the full suspension with their rear leaf springs, you will have about the factory rake. Of course that can depend on so many things- if you are running heavy bumpers, camper top, etc. Also can depend on what springs options you run from them, there are 3. I would suggest the "light" springs unless you are really running some heavy weight all the time. The light ones will still be about 10% firmer/heavier than stock.

    OME suspensions run a bit higher than advertised, so when they list 2.5, expect about 2.75 or closer to 3. And that would be with the standard load springs and not the HD front springs which are meant for big veavy bumper, winch, much more weight being carried around ALL the time.

    I have run their stuff on a few vehicles. Ride is firmer. Quality is very good and their stuff lasts. I have the light duty setup on a 4runner for many years and probably close to 75k miles, still rides as nice as the day I installed it. I never did install any aftermarket UCA, and everything works great. The 4runner is a beast off road.

    Speaking of install, their suspension is install and forget it, no adjusting collars, no rebuild of shocks every 40k miles, just install and enjoy. Install is just like any other coilover, leaf spring and shock change.

    Here is a post about someone using the heavier springs, which lifted the truck too much. Not sure whatever happened and it seemed like it was unusual, as others here ran the same springs without issue. Still, patriot had a heck of a time with it https://www.tundras.com/threads/ome-2-5”-lift-measurements.75458/
