Need to get new springs before weekend. OME will take too long. I can get King or Austech. Has anyone used them and what is better

i have kings in my sierra and dislike them immensly... some people like them, i recommend removing leaves before putting them in if there new. ive just put OME in the rear and am very impressed ride comfort and flexibilty is much better.

I have kings... most people's thoughts are they are shit... bottom line is they dont ride the greatest but on the right setup they will flex like a stringy poo.

Steky loves them, chat to him about them.

Yeah I was wanting to get OME but they take to long and I've gotta fix this leaning problem out.

How do you know I like string poo's??? :? :? 8O

Every spring has it's bonus & down fall, I have seen EFS flex awesome, but snap, OME flex awesome but bend.
King flex well but the ride is a lil stiff, but the only time I have seen a bent one was from impact in comp..

Funny, I've seen 3 kings snap, 2 of them rears, one a front (pretty sure it was a king anyway). One of the rear ones had already bent though (due to axle wrap), and then snapped. That said I snapped a stock Suzuki spring. I'd still rather have Kings than OME's!

Carrolls Springs at Wacol will also have EFS on shelf, if you wanted them (they are more expensive than some other brands though). I'm currently liking the EFS rears I have in my Sierra (minus 1 leaf), by far the best spring I have run in it. Only reason I haven't bought a set for my LJ, is they will lift it too high (Don't want to lift it).

i used to have kings and i loved them. i had them on 2 different sierras. one was stiff the other was nice and flexy. I think the second had a leaf out, it makes a huge difference.
