I'd like to try some OME coils and I was wondering what kind of impressions folks have of them , and about how much lift they will give me over stock? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> 97 Rodeo Re: Old Man Emu Coils [Re: 4WDJOE] #674483 12/07/05 08:27 AM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 5,690 Greenville, SC 87Montero Trail Leader Ah, the VSW coils everyone bashes. I haven't had a problem yet, they have been in for about 2 years. My coils still run strong.. my rear is up in the air, it's still a real stiff ride. I hope mine don't go bad. 1999 Mitsu Montero - Crappy Weather 1992 Isuzu Pickup - Zombie Apocalypse 2008 Saturn Sky Redline - Nice Weather Re: Old Man Emu Coils [Re: 4WDJOE] #674484 12/07/05 03:26 PM Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 4,127 La Mesa, CA DaphneD Roll Me Over I'm not sure if they're available anymore. Have you tried looking for a set of GenII springs? They accomplish the same thing and have a progressive spring rate. Much better for the GenIs.

I get about 3/4" lift on my Gen 2, and they give a stiffer ride. (I also put in 1-1/2" coil spacers) I'm not sure how much they will lift a Gen 1 truck. It will be... the lift from a standard Gen 2 spring + 3/4". 1992 montero, cranked t-bars, OME springs, 1-1/2" spring spacers, Homemade rear bumper and roof rack, 33" BFG AT, 1" body lift, Superwinch hubs, '95 SR locking rear axle, was AT - now V5MT1-3 5spd.
