Old Man Emu failure?
I did the suspension on my truck 5 months ago .
I notice that the rear has been sagging lately.
Medium leaf springs (constant 300kg load) were fitted. Same canopy etc was on when fitment was done. Only addition was the "drawer" system that I made. The one Ricoffy has been dreaming about.
Does this look right?

That human arm does not look right either.
Anyhow good luck with the fight. Their first line in will be "overloading".

That arm is way too clean to belong to a mechanic.
You need to give him/ her more to do!

Ride quality and lift.
I do light tackle boat fishing and often launch the boat without the luxury of a concrete launch.
So you pretty much put it in where you can.
The 2 inch lift is often the difference between water in the cab or not.
The extra clearance on 4x4 tracks doesn't hurt either - although I don't really use it for the rough stuff.

Would like to hear the outcome. Have done a few trips on my OME and are highly impressed with comfort and load carrying capacities. Run 650kg constant load.
Can post tel no's of guys that have done 200k plus km on OME.
Must say this have me worried.
Some silly observation is that the leaf pack have numerous OME stickers. Mine only have a part no and OME stensel on it.
