Do the brand "rockcrawler" come close? I can get 4 for $528....
OME is Old Man Emu made by ARB (air locker people)
Its been a long time since I got mine, so I don't know todays prices.
I know nothing of Rockcrawler brand.

Thats cool frog,
Thats right it all helps. Plenty of people with knowledge about things i dont know about.
I've just seen some pics of a sierra at a wreckers and it looks to have lift, i have emailed them to see what price they want for them.

I'm more than happy with my Dobinson springs, they're great on and off-road. Although the front springs have flatened a bit after the engine swap.. Bare that in mind if you have any plans to upgrade your motor/gearbox in the future.

Go for OME ! I got some convincing info from Joe at 4Play in Melbourne.. and the rest of the guys on here know what they're on aboutCHOPS1 wrote:anyone know if the toughdog suspension is any good!

The Dakars are cheap and this is what I'll be getting on mine when I take my car over to Vic soon for my mods. I considered Tough Dog etc but you can't beat the OME spring shape, nothing else is like it or built specifically for the zook
( i think)Hey might catch up with you at the Naracoorte comp? - I'll send u a PM!
PS if you want a set of OME Dakars I can probably get them for the same price Im paying ($107 each for medium F+R)

These sound like the ones I have on my zook for last x amount of years - Carrolls (now EFS) same spring, same stiffness. When I used to carry heaps of gear for work on long trips with a full tank they rode ok... But now, eh! Too damn hard!Red_Zook wrote:hey guys, dunno what mine are but they are 2inch lift and have suzi 01 on them... i think king, dang they flex hard... ride is semi ok but off road they are awsome
Just realised how old your original post was, LOL! guess you'd have new springs by now? If so what did u get?
Well you had to ask didnt you! Long story, but the moral is dont ever get anything from 4wd systems!!!! I bought a lift kit from there - 2" springs, shocks, bushes, u-bolts. When i picked them up i noticed the fronts were beltons and the rear ironman, i questioned them on this and he said yep thats fine we have used this combination for a while! I thought ok, next day i installed them, then i measered all four corners to see the difference from before.
The front was fine at 45mm higher, but the back was about 80mm higher
so i took it for a drive around the block and it was ridiculous, dangerously hard in the rear.
So i rang them and told them and he said that cant be right. It took about a week of constantly ringing up and trying to get some answers, and not getting any. Being fed bulldust, then them finally saying they would get some new rears. But i wanted to know, if they'ed expect me to drive all the way out there(to Gilles plains from Moana) and get them and then return the others, yep they did so i said no.
You can deliver them to my place and pick up the others, they finally agreed at there expense by courier. All up it took 3-4weeks with all the crap they fed me, oh and guess what the rears they sent out were beltons to match the fronts
After i had all the trouble with them i found out about all the other people who have had bad experiences with them! NEVER AGAIN
So to sum them up the fronts are great but the rear is a little to hard. Its good with a load in the back tho!

oscars, the ironman rears that come with mine were ridiculous. They surely couldnt have been made for a sierra. even though it was stamped on them, when i put them on my stepdad stood on the back of my car and bounced up and down and he is a big boy and the only flex was in my tyres the springs did not move! From memory i think there was 7 leafs!

true, mine were from a place in brissy, only 1 of them had a iron man label and it was the driver front. the others just had suz- etc. they only have 5 springs i think, i might cut the bottom ones on the back and the passanger front to alow more flex and to help the lean, but they ride alot better then the standard ones that were on it.
