Hi everyone,
Been a while since I posted...
On my nice BJ60 I have a Belton suspension set that is 16 years old this August. The ride is awesome, the height is great etc. no complaints.
Two years ago I acquired an OME suspension set (told it is 10 years old) for $200 which I recently sandblasted, painted and rebuilt with all new parts including stainless steel bolts and pipes for the wraps.
The plan was to install the OME on a beater BJ60 which I started doing as you can see in the photos.
After recently finishing rebuilding the OME front suspension I thought to myself why not put the OME on my nice truck?
My only concern is I am not sure how it will ride as I have never had OME and also I am not sure how the springs will sit with the extra weight of my bumper and rear tire carrier.
Right now with the OME rear springs installed on the beater there is an extra 0.5 inch between the axle and the frame compared to my nice truck with the Beltons.
Anyways, thoughts?
Should I put the rebuilt OME on my nice truck (which I intend to not drive in the winter time)? Sorry the photos are kind of messed up...Some are doubles not sure why...
The freshly painted suspension is the OME and the rustier suspension is the Beltons on my nice truck.
