    I run the OME springs with their Nitro shockers.
    Mines set to tour(weight carrying) rather than play(flex).
    I have the heaviest spring rating due to the weight I carry on trips.
    I find it good when loaded heavily(>3,200KG) on trips etc..
    In "daily" mode(@2,700Kg) it feels like it picks a wheel up easier than the stock springs did when off roading.
    I'm very happy with the feel and comfort when on the highway.
    Cheers, Kyle

    I inquired about these at my local ARB store, but was told that they only do a 40 mm lift, and I wanted to go 50mm, so I ruled these out.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    OME may say they are only 40mm, but that is a safe statement.. ie, a minimum of 40mm.. all depends on vehicle set up versus what rating spring you have.

    I have the heaviest rated springs, as I was fitting a ARB bulbar, winch, dual batt's etc, and after comparing between the height with standard springs BEFORE FITTING THE BULL BAR ETC and height of new springs with bull bar etc, the new springs lifted the vehicle 72mm from where it was (even with the winch etc fitted!!)

    Flexes well also..

    Also of note is that it wasn't all due to the sag of the standard front ones (only had 150000 km on them) as the rear is SLS and had been lifted 50mm already with spacers and sensor brackets and I had to make longer brackets to lift it a further 20mm to level it out! This goes to show the front springs may not have been too sagged..
