OME Spring Choices

Hopefully someone can help me out here!

Im looking to change my current springs (TF Medium Load) for some OME springs - with the hope of having a slight softer improved ride.

Though im not sure on what springs to go for, they have a fair few that seem to differ very slightly.

The 110 is quite loaded

Full cage
D44 HD bumper + Abar and spots
Winch
Steering guard
HD Rock sliders
Steel tranny guard
NAS step

At least half the time it is loaded with tools and kit. I also want to retain the 50mm lift I currently have. I do a fair bit of road driving, roughly 300miles a week mixed mway, lanes and b roads. However I also do a fair bit of greenlaning, off roading trips to France, Spain, Wales etc...

Was thinking these for the fronts

Old Man Emu DA8910 OME2751 - but only 40mm? With the extra weight ove the front surely this will drop

Old Man Emu DA8922 OME2755 - These on the rear apparently 300kg load which should suit, at least I think

Any suggestions?

Talk to gwyn lewis.

I dont think it is a good idea to have a loaded 110+2 inch lift+ soft suspension. Puma 110" SW

Cheers. Good info

I didnt say soft, just softer. The ride is rock hard persey but driving down bad roads you can feel the potholes and speedbumps, becomes quite tiring after a while.

Also considering fitting a rear ARB as i do more rosd driving now than off.
