Sure does... Its to offset the constant that is the driver / battery etc...

BTW is this a Defender or Disco 1?

If so you can fit the springs without a spring compressor! its easy... Sub 1 hour to do the lot!

It's a Disco 1, thanks for the reply. Got springs and shocks to do so looking forward to getting them on.

Just fitted HD OME springs and shocks to my 95 disco, it raised it 3 inchs from what it was.

My OME's been fitted just over twelve months and intitally got about 3.5 inch lift at the front and 2.5' at the rear, but now it's settled to around 3'. Still have some driveline vibrations though which need to be looked at.

I got a TJM lift in its as stiff as B**ggery and has sagged from 50mm down to 35mm in the front.

I want to change it out for an ARB possibly but do they have different heights you can pick - or is it just one spec and you get what you get ?

arb OME springs only come in 40mm lift or atleast they did when i lifted mine 12 months ago hope this help you

They have different compression rated springs, usually light duty, light to medium duty, medium duty, heavy duty and so on.

I did have the specs somewhere but they escape me right at this moment.

Found this link regarding various springs and rates etc

Not sure how up to date it is.
