Regardless if you got the medium or heavy duty packs break them in carry about 400-500 pound cargo for a like 3000-4000 miles…I have those they work perfectly right after
I did the exact same thing (OME med duty) on my 92 3VZE. It took way longer than expected, was a huge PITA but the change in how my truck handles and looks made it well worth the effort.
Those appear to be Old Man Emu springs, if they are then they are fine. I worked for ARB for 9 years (I don’t anymore) during which time they developed a new leaf spring system designed to give better comfort and on road compliance and that shape is the result
I'm going to say the same thing I post every time this comes up. Old Man Emu for shocks, coil springs and leaf springs. I added 3/8" polyurethane spacers above the front coil springs, and removed one leaf of the multileaf rear springs. I couldn't be happier with the resulting 2.5" lift, both on road and off (with swaybar disconnects). It's lift that is designed to operate as a system, and it works well.
My BP-51s and Dakar leafs are noisy as fuck, it sounds like a rust bucket. I power wash them regularly and reapply grease/lube and it still squeaks and creaks. They were fine for a year but as soon as I have some time I'm going with something else. The shocks and front suspension is great, though.
