Tires are like boobs, they always look big until you have played with them for a while, then you just want a bigger set.

either use Jase at classiccruiserspares(he is aweome to deal with :wink: ) or you could get a hold of Bruce hughes in winton and he'll send to you.. he is our arb dealer and is really good to deal with. up to you either way.. BUT a OME kit is such a sweet ride compared to std.. it was what I did on my 70 before I started to butcher her.. I'd even say it'll be about the best you can get to get to coils.. :shock:

Thanks Big, yea, i have compared lots of brands so far, decide go for OME this time, as i dont do too crazy offroading. OME gonna make me happy i hope.
The factory one is pain in ass now, so stiff and the leaf springs almost flat. OMG i wanna get rid of them asap. :D
I will get in touch with Bruce to hear what he says.

I bought a 2nd hand set of OME 2" lift springs for my bj74 they were great compared to the flat factory springs (330ks on the clock)
Bare in mind that if your factory springs are flat the ome 2" springs will actually lift it around 4" or 3.5" in the front if youve got a pto winch.
I redrilled my front spring perches to move the front axle 30mm forward so I could fit 35"s on it if you only want to run 33"s you may want to look into a set of factory height springs or get your original ones reset to the factory height. :wink:
