Springs Advise

[Mal Eade]

Hi All

I have noticed over the last year my rear end sagging.

The springs are OMU with OMU shocks with a 50mm lift. All new 2008. As you can see from the pic the ass end is down and when loaded up it is even worse.

I think I should up-rate/ change the springs on the back any advise to what I should go for.

Lowest cost route and quite a flexible solution might be to go for air helper bags Matt Savage sells them for £80 or £90 a pair. Air-bags are useful if you need occasional extra load carrying ability but often run the truck with a lighter load and don't want the harsh ride of heavy duty springs.

Have to say though that it looks like your springs are rather tired if they're sagging like that unladen... So you may need new springs anyway. Which OME springs did you fit at the rear?

Cheers,

Have a chat with paul at westcoast 4x4. I believe he can do OME and Ironman now.

You really need to know what's under there at the moment?

ive got OME 864's at the rear, and some air helpers from Matt savage, very pleased with the set up even with a mega load of fuel & water etc
