Reckon that would be a good package

I've had 2" OME in both my patrols. Current set have 85,000kms on them and still going strong. They are a bit stiff when the wagon is empty, but smooth right out with a bit of load.

Matt,
You must have me confused with somebody else. I have never (no my honest knowledge) ever remarked about anyone behind their back, either on this forum or elsewhere. It is not me. Never has been, never will be.
Clearly there seems to be some unspoken thing that I am utterly unaware of and am quite prepared to be enlightened.....
As for the comment about "life is too short for this rubbish", I was referring to having to defend myself in relation to a subjective opinion I gave, which as you rightly point out, we are entirely entitled to share as members of this forum.
I have always appreciated the advice you and Ben-e have given me directly and indirectly through this forum and just do not understand where the aggro is coming from. I have had nothing but admiration and respect for what you "Northerners" have done with your Patrols and have only ever remarked along such lines.....
Cheers,
Drew.

OME is the way to go. They are the best

I have a 2" tough dog lift inc heavy duty springs to cater for a winch, dual battery, rear draws, rooftop tent fridge etc & towing of a boat. It rides a little stiff as I haven't fitted all of the mods due to the $$$. My first impression when I first drove it after fitting was WOW as it handled soooo much better. I just got back from wanaaring and it was a little harsh (dropped the tyre pressure down to compensate) but with a load it will be great. Just get the right springs and it will be worth it IMO.

I was tossing up between OME and Tough Dog for my GU. A mate has Tough Dog with the adjustable dial and he loves it. He also swears by the foam cell. What are the pros and cons of foam cell over gas?

I ended up going with ome with constant 400kg springs, was bit worried might be a bit stiff to ride in but its not too bad, I also had the option of constant 200kg springs. Handles great but obviously rides a lot nicer with a load.
