OME don`t flex.
Flexy springs will sag quickly if you try to carry lots of weight on them often. Then again all springs will sag if carring lots of weight on them often unless designed for it.
What do you want to know?
What works and what doesn`t
Or how to get flex with a custom setup
Or what of the shelf springs work ok?

he wants to know what leaf springs and shockies work best
he wants to do more rock work and wheel travel
the ute has a steel b/bar 9000lb winch
and he still has to get around every day driving
if you have some ideas about what works best but isnt to expensive
also will be using( hoping to use) superior drop shackles
yes with custom set up but not to many dollers
yes off the shelf springs that give me more wheel travel than ome

my suggestion would be parabolic springs in the front with standard shackles, and xd falcon springs in the rear with the superior shackles. i ran that on my ute for about 8 months and worked very well. cost will depend on how much of the work u can do youself. also u may have trouble with qld transport if u go too extreme as i did. search for KILLALUX in the members section for more info on this setup.
