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?Image

That human arm does not look right either.

Anyhow good luck with the fight. Their first line in will be "overloading".

Didn't see the arm [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

Sent through photos this morning. Sounding good so far. Will know on monday/tuesday what the verdict is.

Not holding my breath though.

So you have never changed anything that was stock on a vehicle?

No such luck Chas. It belongs to our on farm "mechanic".

Unfortunately I have the wrong gender pronoun to find his arm interesting [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

That arm is way too clean to belong to a mechanic.

You need to give him/ her more to do!

What was the purpose of the suspension upgrade Shane?

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.
