If you are buying them get the heavies, easier to remove leaves that are already there than add ones you dont have :)

I have christover's OME springs from his lwb frog in my swb, he had them setup with both extra leaves in the drivers side.

I agree with Royce, I would go the heavy ones if I were you, take out the extra leaves till you break them in a bit, then add them later.

I got OME for my SWB, and they asked things such as my weight, do I regularly have a passenger, what load in the back etc.

Tell them that its a LWB and they will set you up with the correct springs, they are pretty good IMO.

i was wondering the same thing after getting a quote at ARB last week. im considering doing mini RUF or just starndard OME lift all round with fatzooks shackles. if i ultimatley want the most flexy and comftorable springs is starndard the best, or get the heavist and remove leafs straight away as you guys have said? i have a l.6 carb engine and an ARB bar, i some times use a trailer for camping gear and often have passangers. they recommeded a constant 29-70 something kilo load in the front and medium load in the back. is this the best way to go?

Id listen to those who make the springs: for they are the ones who rate them.

i got the heavier load springs in mine. there are pretty good up the front but cause i have no weight in the back it makes the ride a bit bouncy and rough. thought about takeing some leafs out but thinking about inverting the socks in the rear. that might make it a bit smoother.
