Hi Flea, I had OME installed into mine a week or so back. 2884 springs with 90000 sport struts in front, and 2896 springs and 60004 sport shockies in the rear.
Measurements as follows:
Before - LF 730, RF 740, LR 765, RR 770
After - LF790, RF 790, LR 830, RR 835
Definately a firmer ride, but feels heaps more stable. Before and after shots on my rig build also. Haven't had a proper chance to test it all out yet, but am sure it will be up to the challenge!2009 White KDJ120R Manual fitted out for family camping and touring - See my Rig Build at [url]http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?27887-Smithy-s-Rig-Build[/url]

Just picked up some very low kilometer second hand OME 896 rear coils to try out in the 150. The drawers and fridge have given me abit of weight to carry around. I'm planning to try some different set ups for the rear end with regards to the weight of my camper and stuff to see what suits me best.[CENTER][B][U]Matt

I had an ARB Sahara Bar fitted just before Xmas. Forgot to take measurements before fitting, so only have after measurements. These were taken with only 1/2 tank of fuel (45L). Took measurements twice at different spots to get average. Ground wasn't exactly level.
FR 740/745 AV 742.5
FL 747/740 AV 743.5
RR 765/775 AV 770
RL 775/765 AV 770
Difference = 27mm
Side steps level at 310mm
The new bar doesn't seems to have dropped nose at all. It seems to have only tightened up the front so it feels less bouncy but that really just a guess. Vehicle feels good when towing the boat and boot full of tools. Will see how it settles over next few months before deciding to do. May just change struts/shocks and leave springs.

I had a Toughdog 2" lift (300kg coils) last week and have a mixed result by the looks of it.
FL = 780 RF = 800
RL = 830 RR = 810
I will drive for another few days before getting a wheel alignment and then remeasure.
Fridge and fridge slide on left - full fuel - recovery gear and heavier jacls etc on right - lighter gear (first aid kit etc) on left.Terry
