🛠️ Member Build Onyx WCP LC build

[Onyx]

Thank you, Onyx! I appreciate all the detailed feedback. I am starting out with 0” in the back and I will be dropping the circlip as you noted. I picked up my kit today and oddly there were no instructions included or available on the arb site. Did yours come with instructions?

Yeah there were zero instructions, at least not that I know of. I did have a shop installed them on my LC though. I tried emailing OME regarding what exactly is the specific height adjustments of the circlips, whether it's 0.25" or 0.5" height adjustment per clip they never answered the question. But if you intend on keeping the rear at 0" lift, from what I gathered, and from another member on here who also posted regarding his OME setup, I would go with 2 circlip grooves down from new in box from factory setting. (The other member chose to do 1 circlip, but in my opinion off of his photos, I'd go with 2).

this is his thread: https://www.landcruiserforum.com/threads/ome-mt64-lift.6517/

Great write up
To the op, any chance I can purchase your oem rear sway bar links brackets?
Trying to develop a rear sway bar disconnect system that would require modding these brackets

Thanks

I did not do anything with the rear sway bars so I don't think I have those parts for you. Sorry man!

Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I was under the impression these shocks came with a bracket to replace the oem bracket, it lowers the link a bit

Got OME MT64 Suspension kit installed yesterday. Going somewhat conservative at the moment. Keeping rear the same height while using the it mainly to level the front end out (Approx 1.75" lift) while improving off-road capabilities. Using their 0lb/0lb springs front and rear. Along with the OME UCA.

I was hoping the new suspension will help tackle the potholes and concrete roads in north Texas better, and it did! Now it rides like butter, handling is superb, ride is more plush but not disconnected from the road or floaty. Turning corners feels a lot less body roll and more confident. I didn't think the factory ride quality was bad, in fact i thought it was pretty good already. This kit improved it significantly. I did notice my 286/70/17 Nitto Grapplers with SCS Gen5 17" +20mm offset is rubbing on the inner corner of the FE mud flaps just ever so slightly. Will be doing some trimming this weekend. Glad I went with the MT64. Will be testing the offroad capabilities out in August when I hit the mountains in Colorado.

Looks great! Question; what center cap are you running with those SCS?

I used some plastic 3-D printed ones I found on Etsy. It doesn't fit the rear in 100% due to the center knob of the wheel hub. but the double sided tapes does hold it well. 15k miles and zero issues.
