Any thoughts? And does any one know where I could get the uprated coils by themselves?

This is only my opinion.

I have used Rancho shocks in the past, along with Old Man Emu, Rubicon Express, Pro crap (sorry, comp)Rough Country etc.

The Ranchos I would put near the bottom, but above Pro Comp.

They didn't last that long IIRC

Old news, I told everyone a couple of days ago Roughtrax are now Rancho dealers.



Have you asked if Barry will supply the coils, they come from a different supplier.

He told be today they have +4" 2nd Gen Rancho shocks coming

Hmm... I shall ask about that then. Don't suppose you'd happen to want to fit it would you Tony ? My DIY jobs tend to end in disaster, which in the case of changing the coils could well end up with me minus a head!

No problem, I lurve 3rd Gen lifts...



Slobby, its hard to get many brands, I generally fit what people can get. Procomp were great value, and could get any size you needed, but do wear out if used hard, the old Rancho's I've seen already fitted to trucks all looked good apart from lower bushes wearing on the fronts. I do like the in-cab adjustable Ranchos.

They are better than Monroe (my favorite of all the 'budget brands', Desert Fox, etc. Not sure how they stack against TJM, but the TJM's are far more expensive than any others by quite a bit and I've not fitted any TJM's for about 3 years.

I have +4" Superlift shocks on my 2nd Gen, they are still working fine after 5 years or so, but again the front lower bushes are screwed.

[slobodan]

I'm sure you have more experience than me Toni, Superlift have a good rep.
But OME are easily the best I've used.
But yeah, use what you can get hold of easily, I know that tune well.

[TonyN]

I've never seen a set of OME shocks on a Yota in the flesh, but have used their torsion bars recently on a Surf that came with a 2" lift kit from Roughtrax and they fitted nice and rode smooth.



Someone needs to import some.

Tintin's free leeter had OME on the arse end.

And your thoughts on the kit?!

Thinking of ordering due to mine "failing" the MOT

Eavesdrop; you're sitting quietly at the back of the room to eavesdrop on the conversation.

Don't know yet, it's still in a box in my room. Tony should be fitting it for me next week hopefully though

Don't let Tony in your room to 'fit' it for you.

Still has, and one day soon it will get OME +2 fronts to match courtesy of the nice people at devon4x4 !
