I am planning on rinning ARB in Elizabeth Adelaide today to get some prices on the OME gear with Polyairs. I will let you all know what the damage is this afternoon.
I have dug out my OME info, I have on my 150GXL auto v6 (200 kliierwasps) 90010 shocks and 2885 springs on the front (810mm clearance now), and 60080 shcoks and 2889 springs on the rear (840mm clearance now). Also they fitted a OME661 Steering Stabiliser.
The change is from 745mm front and 785mm rear so 65mm front and 55mm rear (this is with 5 pounds of air in the airbags and all the recovery gear in a set of Black Widow drawers). I also fitted Firestone airbags at the same time.
On the front I have a deluxe ARB winch bar (no winch yet) IPF 900XS spotties, dual batteries and some other minor electrical items.So after 25'000 kms and just over 12 months the car has not dropped anything at all.
We do a touring trip every year camping, so loaded to the max I put around 17 pounds in the airbags and this brings all the heights and ride back to the empty measurements. We do a lot of 4WDriving (at least one weekend each month sometimes two) and the travel is as good or better than the lifted 90's and 120's we travel with.
An Avenger Mako winch is going on the bar before Xmas so I'll updtae the site with the info. I hope this helps you.
See ya on the tracks, Richo.

I have a 150 GXL D4D and installed an OME suspension upgrade in July just prior to an outback trip into central Australia. I have a set of touring drawers and carry full recovery gear and fridge in the rear at all times. When touring I carry 100 litres of water, a second spare, food and camping gear up top oin a roof rack. Up front, I have an ARB bullbar with second battery - no winch.
The OME gear installed was:
Front 2887 springs Shocks 90010
Rear 2898 springs (ie constant 200kg load) Shocks 60081
Height before upgrade but after drawers etc were installed, so the car was drooping, was
Front: 748mm
Rear: 770mm
After the suspension upgrade:
Front: 810mm (50mm increase)
Rear: 840mm (70mm increase...but as mentioned, the earlier measurement of 770 was less than normal because the car was loaded on the Toyota suspension)
The car drove really well on the extended touring trip, fully laden, handled the corrugations and dips and everything we came across beautifully.
Around town, as I said carrying recovery gear, fridge and touring drawers, the ride is a little harsh over bumps, train lines, trams tracks and potholes. But that's OK with our primary intended purpose being outback touring.
OK after talking with the guys at ARB Elizabeth I was quoted $1560 for the Suspension and $330 for the Polyairs. So that is 2887 90010 Front and 2889 60080 rear. I currently dont even own the car but the plan is to put a TJM Streel bullbar and dual Batteries for the front and not a hell of a lot on the rear (yet). How does that fit with eveyone eles costings

That sounds OK to me. I had a Kakadu and they put in 2887 springs, 90010 shocks front and 60080 shocks at the rear , stone guard kit, wheel alignment and fitting - $2000. Your $1560 seems OK to me.

Did that include fitting, stone guards and alignment?
I was quoted $1990 for the same setup including fitting, stone guards and alignment. Polyairs were extra $493 fitted.
Just got another quote for $1762 plus $475 for the polyairs.

Fitted 887 springs, trim packers and 90010 nitrocharger struts to my kakadu D4D over a months now. With ARB Deluxe steel bar, winch, and dual battery installed, the missus still find the ride way too rough around towns. Would it help if I change the spring to 885?
Thanks!
My rig build up.

The Part numbers are sturts for a 120 series Prado, diesel plus those accessories that should be ok but technically not the right gear.
