Before:

Front: 747mm/748mm

(with only dual batteries)

Rear: 765mm/765mm

(Low fuel (light on)/Milford barrier/empty Outback Drawers)


Now: (20k old OME springs and shocks plus recent mods. See:

http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?t=3730

Front: 812mm/815mm

(ARB steel bar/9k winch/lights/compressor/dual batteries/TJM steel bash plate)

Rear: 840mm/845mm

(135lts fuel/Milford barrier/drawers/full recovery kit/Fridge slide/large first aid kit/ few spares and tire repair kit)
Approx 2400kg on weigh bridge.


So call it 2.5" of lift at the front and 3" at the rear.

I have been going through some old paper work and found the fitting sheet from when I had the OME's fitted.

Prior to fitting with ARB Steel B/Bar, Dual Batteries, ARB Roof Rack and Rear Drawers.

Front L/R 735/737
Rear L/R 755/758

Front Springs 885 with N140S
Rear Spings 896 with N142

Front L/R 795/790
Rear L/R 830/835

This was done when the car had 2681 km on the clock.

I have now done just over 30k km and the fronts are the same and the rears with 8 psi in the polyairs, are 825.

I am very happy with the performance of the OME suspension to date.

Cheers,
Kevin
