OME or tough dogs

[George77 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close George77]

I've just got some quotes for a 50mm OME lift and a 40mm tough dog lift for my 150 series prado.

My main reason for a lift is to provide better clearance for beach/dune driving as i like my beach fishing.

I can't decide between the two. OME lift is 10mm higher and only $100 more expensive but the service from the tough dog instaler is excellent.

Any advice?

Cheers

Ive got OME on my 2014 model and couldn't be happier. I deal with Moorebank and they were great.

I'd go the OME over the Tough Dog in heart beat when talking $100.

My vote would be tough dog. Haven't had them personally but have had a few mates who have had both OME and Tough Dog, and they've all said they preferred the Tough Dogs.

I’ve had OME on my 120 Prado and have done heaps of varied off road terrain. They have performed flawlessly. Just waiting for my 2018 Prado which is going to get ARB’s BP51’s

I'd go OME in a heart beat. Tough Dogs are known for being an extremely harsh ride.

I had Toughdogs in the 120.

I will leave this photo here.



There are better options to both in my opinion.

How much was the OME quote?

Another thing to factor in, in the event you haven't purchased them yet, is having the Tough Dog's fixed if need be. I don't know enough about them - they appear to be mainly with Opposite Lock? I find there are more ARB places around to fix things (the same argument that assisted many of us in paying the Toyota Tax - there's a dealership in more places than most). So in the event of an issue - it's likely going to be easier to find a closer ARB place than an OL.

Except, if something does happen, you know it'll be outside the store you DIDN'T buy from.
