Old Man Emu Rear Lift Coils Springs (200 Series) installed on 4G Tacoma

[Victory 4x4]

I installed the Westcott designs lift on my Pro this week with the rear spacer. It was pretty level with just my bed slide, fridge, and our rear bumper. Spare tire wasn't under the bed however. This is how it looked with that setup.

With a carrier and a 35" tire hanging off the back however, the rear was low maybe an inch. Was also pretty soft just driving around:

So I needed a solution. On the shop TRD Sport, I put some helper airbags inside the coils, and that worked great (Air Lift Part 60924, had to fab some upper plates to block off the holes in the top of the coil mounts.) But that wasn't going to work with the Pro's air bumps. So I dug around in our coil pile at Victory 4x4 and found some OME 200 Series rear coils that were the right diameter in the seat and body. Slapped em in (no Wescott spacer,) and it was perfect. Good height, a little firmer ride, plus way more static load capacity. Win, win win.

Here is how it sits on OME 2721s. Longer springs on the passenger side:

I still need to double-check the coil bind and maybe add a bump spacer if that's an issue.

Hope this helps! The best part is that there are 6 options for the 200 Series application, so you should be able to find what you need (data from Toytec.)

Good job. That's a gorgeous truck.

So now we know both OME and Dobinsons have springs for us. It's great to have options!
