I did not change the bushing in the trailing arm itself.

Just did the front bushings and all that took was a 24 mm deep socket if IRC. After replacing the OEM rubber ones twice, I went with urethane ones.

Jon, whats the part number for the urethane ones? Also, how much lift did you gain with the OME coils and torsions?


The Urethane part number is Whiteline - W61612. Come to find out they are still sitting in the garage <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" /> guess I should actually install them.

I also went the MOOG K700528 Rear Sway Bar Link. They are holding up waay better than the OEM.

I mainly went with the heavy duty OME parts because I tow a 16ft camper a lot. The parts added maybe an 1" of lift once everything settled. The OME spec says 1.25" of lift. On my old Montero I had 2" Toyota Tacoma coil spacers in the rear that worked really well and a lot cheaper. Then cranked the stock torsion bars and trimmed the bump stops.

Also flipped the upper ball joints, although most folks warn against it, I had no problem during the two years running them flipped. But my driving style is light footed, could see an issue if heavy footed driver.
