OME MT64 Lift

Yes, they are 285/70 18 in E load. I’m still using the 265/70 18 stock Michelin as a spare and would put it on the rear axle in the event I needed to limp out to a tire shop. I also carry a plug kit and a compressor, so the course of action would be to plug on the trail, the second would be to keep the differential unlocked with the spare on the back axle (good tires up front) as the transmission is fully capable of managing a 1.1 inch size difference, well within the tolerance.
On the same note, I carry a high lift on the trail that is mounted to a cargo tray. I’ve also stumbled across the linked adapter for the sliders, which I think I’m going to pick up to make jacking super easy.

Anyone sell your stock suspension after the lift? If so, where and for how much? Looking to sell mine now that I’ve lifted the LC rather than just leaving it sitting in the garage.
Not a ton of people are going to be going back to stock or needing to replace worn components yet so your best buyer is probably someone repairing a wrecked one. eBay is probably where I'd start!
That was my thought too. Maybe a couple hundred bucks for everything
- we’ll see!If ever given the chance I would love to go for a ride and see how this suspension performs and OME is on my list to replace my factory suspension. I'm in washington, but a tad north of you in the everett area.
Sounds like we need to do a WA Cruisers and Coffee sometime in the future and you’re welcome to take it for a spin.
Definitely look into Nomad Overland down at Burien Toyota for purchase/install as they did a great job. Mule in Issaquah is another good shop and they gave me a quote too.
This would be awesome and I bet it would make for some insane pics. A lot of the NorCal guys meet up often and the rigs + scenery is just stunning. Can't wait to see pics of this!
I am absolutely game for doing a Cruisers and coffee run, little forest service road action. I'm coming from the old car see of the early and late 2000s so for me it's like coming home from college. I'm looking to try and narrow down which brand I want to go to hopefully by summers end as that should be when my c4 fab low pro bumper comes in. That way I can mount everything and set the ride height all in one weekend. If you need any help trying to setup cruisers and coffee shoot me a dm and we can try to figure something out. I'm available usually every other weekend.
Some hi-res pics from the shop showing stance with Toyo AT3s (E Load) in 285/70 18
How's the handling and traction in the wet with those AT3s? I have AT4W right now and they have a vibration that won't go away, I'm thinking about warranting them with discount tire and going with the Toyos. Stance looks great. 
Had the same E load Toyos on it in a 265 for 11k miles and loved them. Kept the same tire when I upgraded, definitely recommend.How's the handling and traction in the wet with those AT3s?

I’m in lake Stevens if you want to check out the ONE BO51 setup sometime!
Absolutely, I'm not far from there at all. I work nights though so it maybe a challenge trying to meet up during the week.
I'll contact discount and see what they can do about the warranty. A few people I have talked to online have had the vibration issue as well as a work colleague asked me if I had the same issue as he did. So looks like I'll go down that road now and get them warrantied and go with the toyos. I appreciate your feedback.
I'm in love. The color, the height, the tires--looks absolutely perfect. Nicely done!
You'll love the Toyos. They are direct competitors so traction, noise, etc. will be similar but the quality is not even close. Toyo has the best QC of any A/T tire I've ever seen. Ridiculously round every time, requiring almost no force matching, very little weight, and they wear dead evenly. You'll love them. Good luck!How's the handling and traction in the wet with those AT3s?

I ran the AT3's as well for a bit, but ultimately switched to the Nokian Outpost NAT as in the size I'm running the Nokian is almost 10 pounds lighter. I have a set of MT's for getting out there and grinding, but wanted a three peak AT for general driving and long trips towing etc. The Nokian certainly isn't the east the Toyo is but I will say I can feel an increase in wet traction for sure.
That's great info!
Nokian's definitely excel in poor weather but I haven't heard a lot of feedback yet on their A/T's. Thank you for sharing!
What I love about this rig is it looks like a Land Cruiser. The tires aren't poking out like the jeep bros. Bless you for having stayed away from the 17" Methods (nice wheel, wrong vehicle). Yours looks really really good.
