Opp lock or ARB

[toybrad]

Hi has anyone had any problems with opp lock or ARB suspension. And should i go for gas or foam shocks. It going in a FJ73 mid. thanks for any thoughts.

For a stockish setup they are alright. What are you wanting to do with it?

Im wanting to do a 2in lift and the old ones are stuffed. i think they are the original ones.

My current midi has 2" OME suspension and shocks. They're Ok, nothing special though, I'm sure they'd be better than stock ones.

Have you looked at the EFS range ? The last 73 I had with those was pretty good, I'd even recommend them.

opp lock was there today nice ppl had a good chat about everything dont know much about there pricing on suspensions tho id say cheaper than ARB

Have you thought about superior engineering or locktup ?
my choice would be
1 locktup
2 superior
3 opp lock
4 arb

I used to have OME in my 40 years ago. At the time I was not particularly happy as the shock lengths weren't quite right, the shackle angle was too straight and didn't flex near as well as my stock springs.

Since then, I have just done custom stuff so not too sure on what is best off the shelf. I would ring Pete at Redlands and/or Michael at Superior as they both know leaf springs pretty well.

Lovells is another option. Superb quality, very competitive in pricing for a full aussie owned/built company to.

Thanks for the info. i think a bit more research is in order.
