Hi ya all,
I own a 78series troopie, are wanting to get suspenion in the next couple weeks, its up in the air what make to get? My troopie has standard suspenion at the moment, which has sagged alot as its got all the gear fitted. Ill also be doing alot of towing a camper trailler with it on a trip around oz, with half the time spent off road.
Im hoping to get suspenion that will give me a little more lift over standard new suspenion, but also rides
well when im not towing. Is it worth fitting air bags in the rear as
well?
Ive had a orsm quote for ome to be fitted from arb in ozy park, Im just wanting your opinion on which way to go, and if anyone has had any dramas or the likes with old man emu, or any other make.
Im open for suggestions.
cheers

I have the full OME kit which gave me a 50mm lift. (navara)
Springs ok, runs better with more load on, although I had one pack replaced as it was lower than other one, early on.
Shockers, cant say I'm over impressed, just had one go at 16000km. Was replaced on warranty, but IMHO shouldnt have failed in first place.
Springs are for life of vehicle and seem good, but I wouldnt buy OME shocks again.
Rgds

Hi Lost, we had old man emu put on our Patrol to do the
Canning Stock Route last August, the front ones we had no trouble with however the bushes wore out on the back ones, we have had no other problems with them and they give us a good comfortable ride on either bitumen or gravel roads. We had no trouble having the back ones replaced on our return to ARB even though we had replaced the bushes.
The Canning was extremely rough so accepted our fate there, another vehicle we were with did in four shockies within fifteen minutes but they were not OME.
Cheers
Bevan and Deanna
