One last Old Man Emu question

How does OME deal with the 'cruiser lean'? HFS uses a shim, haven't heard how or if OME deals with this issue. Sooo close to pulling the trigger on buying.

The first thing they suggest is swapping sides with the springs... easy for them to say.. they're not the ones having to do it.. Have you considered other brands?? BDS or Super Lift??? I've had good results w/ both and no lean problem... I really want to try a Hell Creek set.. just to see the quallity

OME also has a trim packer available for right rear spring. I feel that they are the best aftermarket spring kit, only they didn't provide enough lift for me. At some point, I'll reinstall the ome when I go soa. Perhaps with a leaf removed, or something.

Interesting that you think that OME are the best when looks loke you are running HFS on your 77 ...probably because you needed more than 2.5 lift. How do you like your HFS? Any idea where I can get some info on the "trim packer"?
