I am wondering if the ome766 coil was made for the army, its the only isuzu landy coil available on the market that i have found.
Ordered the OME 2766 (766) for the front and am going to give the OME 2755 (755) a go on the rear to start, knowing I can move to the 754 in the rear if needed.Quote:

I'm imagining with the 4BD1 there will still be some slight lift.
Ultimately I'm looking for a balance between comfort on asphalt/pavement and hardpack with ability to go offroad when needed, keeping things slightly nose down unloaded and close to even loaded with offroad trailer in tow.
Will report back once arrived and installed in a week or two. Thank you everyone for the input. Though I really, really wish I could have gotten into something less expensive, I know this arrangement is high quality and expected to last a good, long while.
Are these coils in yet?
The coils have arrived, but the shocks were on backorder, so I haven't yet proceeded. I am supposed to see the shocks next week and will update once they are here.
Updates yet?Quote:

As far as I'm aware, OME don't actually make anything - just rebranded Monroe shocks and Dobinsons springs.Quote:

Kings free length was close to 2" more for the same rate coil as dobinson. Both supposed to be 2" lift with 150kg load rating.Quote:

Will update once received.Quote:

Whats the open length?Quote:
