Hey guys,

Im sure someone can help me out quick.

How many hours would it take to change shocks and springs only out for a new set? Ive changed many cars in the past but just not on a jimmy. Need to get an idea to set time aside

Thanks peeps

If you've done it before and have a general idea I reckon under 2hrs. This would be pretty average for say a 40mm lift where you can take the shocks off and drop the diff to slide the springs in etc. bigger lifts may take more time with undoing extra pieces to get extra drop etc.

Morning guys, ome springs and shocks are in. They are very quiet and i dont hear any noises at all. Thr old 50mm were harsh and back breaking. Definitely much quieter than my old 50mm.

I must admit, if you have comfort in mind for your jimny then ome is the way.

soft is flexier too. hope it works out well for you. next time you drive on a corrugated track take it easy at first.

Hi I've been looking at the ome kit, have you installed a castor correction?
