Re: The Old Man Emu (OME) Options Guide
The great thing about the OME rear set-up is that you can always, always bump up to 895's for more rear lift later for hauling gear, towing, bigger tires, etc. You keep the same shocks which is where more of your dollars are anyways. The springs are cheap, can be had for around $65 each. It's like an adjustable rear lift. They are stiff however - BUT I hauled a 450 pound precast concrete landing around town one day and I had no sag whatsoever in the rear. Stock or anything else will noticeably sag under load. The OME's are rated 37% stiffer than stock. That's more than twice all others. The rake is there for a reason, hauling and towing. I like to know I can haul or tow and possibly avoid a reverse rake and/or instability in the front wheels. You can always buy the Downeys and swap out for OME 895E later if you need a stiffer ride. What shocks are you running? That might be the deciding factor.
