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
Pros: work perfectly
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.
Pros: improved handling, better looks
Cons: difficult installation
Vehicle:
Toyota
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
Pros: better comfort, on road compliance
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.
Pros: works well, happy with lift
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.
Pros: shocks, front suspension great
Cons: noisy, squeaks and creaks
