OME light duty springs

[jjvw]

According to Ryan at ARB, the #2949 are rated at 400lbs; do you have info that states different? If so, I need to call him back and clarify; I've got the #2949 on order...

Directly from the Old Man Emu product catalogue.

Fwiw, the heaviest rate springs I have on my list are ome2996 at 250lbs/in, which is already unusually heavy compared to most of what is available.

Still a little confused after speaking with Ryan @ ARB; says spring rate is different then load rate. And states the spring rate is at 216, the load rate is at around 400...

So i just decided to go with a local spring shop and have some custom progressive springs made specifically for my needs....

Maybe he can provide the formula for the load rate. Could it be the spring rate x 2?

Let us know what the results are. Are you keeping the same shocks with your custom springs?

Weird that you are all saying the Nitro shocks are stiff. I ran the OME heavies with the Nitro's and mine rode like a dream. I had a weird rake I couldn't explain, but it rode nice. I ended up putting lights on the rear to settle the rear down a little, but didn't notice any ride difference really.

The only difference is mine does have a winch so maybe that is the difference. I do plan on putting that lift and shocks on my GF/s TJ, and she doesn't have a winch so I will let you know how she fairs, but I really liked them. I just needed to go higher. I got caught with the 4" 33 look bug.

@AC: i have the rear Springs and 4 shocks going up for sale; and soon will have the front ones to, oncw i get them replaced.

I had custom "Progrrssive" springs made by a local shop. Was hoping to test them out this weekend, but couldnt quite button the jeep back together in time...
