I am still in the process of doing up a GU 4.2TD coil cab which I intend to add a carry me camper to (337kg ) it will not be on full time , I am looking at ARBs OME set up with springs and shocks or the Opp Lock set up using Tough Dog products ,the prices are simmilar so thats not a concern ,any comments on either of these products for my set up would be of help or is there another product line that may be better .Born to drive a 4x4 , not a keyboard

I'm thinking along the same lines as you with camper on back only for trips the rest of the time a
farm ute.
OME springs and shocks with Pollt Air in the rear for when camper is on and that ton of wood or fencing gear.
OME have a far better back up if anything goes wrong and thier gear is for one model not one spring fits all.

Coil springs are coil springs, they will all be the same if they are the same lift height, but shockies, i now go for the ceaper ones, as even the expensive ones do not last a good 2 month holiday on corrugated roads.
I wont get Rancho's again!
Look into the Poly air bags as
well with your camper on.

Why not look at the Airbag Man option? Don't know much about them, but I think they have a setup for your vehicle. The idea sounds good.Russell S
